Google, the Verb Being Googled reveals how visible you are on the Web, and visibility (at least among your target audience) is critical to successful personal branding. Your Google results also become useful data points for those who are looking to make decisions about you. So the prospect of being Googled brings up some interesting questions if you are building and nurturing your personal brand. Get the full story.

A Note to Readers Love Me...Love Me Not A seminar held by MarketingProfs last week, “Get Google To Love Your Web Site,” clearly spoke to the hearts and minds of marketers these days. Not only was the event itself well-attended, but marketers who missed it have been clamoring for access to the event transcript. Good news – it’s now available here. Get yours quick – they’re flying off the shelves! This week, William Arruda continues his Google discourse with an article on Google as it relates to what he calls “personal branding.” Given that “Google” is now used as a verb as often as a noun, Arruda writes, “Being Googled reveals how visible you are on the Web, and visibility (at least among your target audience) is critical to successful personal branding.” The problem, of course, is that some of what people find in a Google search may not present you in the most flattering light. He adds: “So the prospect of being Googled brings up some interesting questions if you are building and nurturing your personal brand.” (Presumably, Arruda uses “interesting” the way my former creative writing professor used it to describe my God-awful poetry. As in, “Not good.”) Check out Arruda’s piece. And let me know what you think. As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged! Until next week, Ann Handley

Win the Marketing Race Unfortunately for us marketers, the public is inundated, deluged and bombarded, every day, with hundreds of ads, commercials, emails and direct-mail offers inviting them to buy, try, upgrade, sign on, act now and order before midnight. The problem is that we tend to tune out, ignore or question the vast majority of the advertising messages we’re exposed to. How do you gain entry into people’s awareness when they’re automatically filtering out probably 95% of the marketing messages with which they’re barraged? Well, one way is to “think outside the box.” Get the full story.

The Paradox of Best-Practice Stock market analysts -- those who dabble in an even blacker magic than us -- often encourage newbie investors to look forward, not back. A company’s past performance is no indication of their future returns. Guess what? It’s the same story in strategy and marketing. Get the full story.
