How To See Naked Search Results

Did you know that the Google search results you see aren’t necessarily those that your customers see? Google is gathering data on your searches for their customized search all the time. So the more searches you do, the more your personal search results are geared toward you as a consumer.

So how do you see the raw search results without that customization? First you have to log out of Google. Go to the Google homepage and see if your email address that’s associated with your google account is showing at the top right. if so, click “Sign out”.

Backupify Online Backup Tool: Act Quick!

I mentioned this on the Tuesday show, but I wanted to post a reminder on here for those of you who might be interested.

Backupify is an online backup tool that backs up your social data, blog posts, pictures, etc. from your WordPress blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and many other social networking sites. Until the 31st of January it’s FREE. So if this is something you are interested in, you only have 2 days to get it for free.

I was asked a live question during my show about keyword research recently, specifically if it’s the best way to find a good niche, and if I use the keywords in articles. And it was a good question, so I wanted to put the clip of my reply on here for you.

Also in the video, I discussed using Google’s free search-based keyword tool when brainstorming niches. This tool can be found at google.com/sktool.

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it many more times: Local, mobile and social are the future of advertising and marketing.

What does this mean? People search for local businesses all the time. Where’s a good thai restaurant nearby? Where’s the closest place to get my oil changed? These searches are being done at home, on laptops in coffee shops, from people’s iPhones. And as a business owner it’s important that you know what’s happening and adjust your marketing strategy accordingly.

Here it is…the biggest change in advertising since the 90s.  No hype. This is huge. It’s based on several things that all occurred simultaneously.  And here’s all of it:
