So I was searching around, and found SnowGlobeBoy.com . I love viral marketing, and this is a great way to promote a product, service or whatever. McKinney Advertising has put together something fun for everyone. I’m not sure how long the guy s going to be in the globe, but I think it would start to suck after a while.
When I joined the chat there were so many people on there it was funny. There are 3 camera views and audio to hear the guy talk back to everyone.
Check it out!

I’m sitting in my hotel room at in Vegas right now, and decided it would be a perfect time to write about PubCon. Today was day 1, and there were a lot of exciting conferences going on. Here is my list of do’s and don’ts on day 1. I’ll post on the following days.
Day 1 Do’s:
1. Wear comfortable shows. I added insoles, but I’m not sure it was enough.
2. Take notes. There is alot of good information.
3. Make sure to attend a session early or else you stuck in the back and have to listen to people talking the whole time.
4. Bring water with your or whatever you want to drink. The vending machines are expensive.
5. Try to talk to others around you. You’d be amazed at some of the connections you can make.
Don’ts
1. Don’t bring an over sized laptop, or else you will be stuck lugging the thing around with you everywhere.
2. Don’t wear uncomfortable clothes. Although there is no real dress code that I could see, you still don’t want to dress like a slob.
3. Don’t try to attend too many sessions, it’s real easy to get burnt out.
This is all of the don’ts I can think of right now. As the days roll on, I’ll be able to post more.
Overall Day 1 Impressions:
There is some good information out there, but at the same time, some of the presenters are a little dry. I won’t name any names, but I would probably leave the session to go to another next time.
On the other hand, I will name some of the really good speakers, Rand Fishkin, Neil Patel, Andy Hagan and Todd Malicoat. I thoroughly enjoyed their presentations. Specifically Social Media, Link Buying and Link Baiting. Very good stuff and I see myself executing some new tactics in the near future.
