How about a site evaluation from Cool Site of the Day?

I'm happy to announce that, for a limited time, we're offering comprehensive site evaluations. I say 'limited time' because quite frankly they're a lot of work and I don't know how long we can keep at it.

Click here

If you decide to take advantage of this service I promise you won't regret it. We'll scour your website and make recommendations related to the following:

1. Generating Traffic & Creating Leads (including a thorough Search Engine Optimization analysis)
2. Converting Leads into Customers
3. Content (making your site STICKY)

When you submit your site for an evaluation I promise you will get my personal attention (others have already said that the phone consultation alone is more valuable than anything else they've received).

BTW, if you'd like a taste of what I can do for your site, mark your calendar for today at 1:30PM EST (Thursday, 7/24) and join my live call-in webcast, Cool Talk. Once dialed in I'll be happy to give you a quick review of your site along with some 'ready to implement' tips and strategies....and don't be surprised if the Cool Talk Panel of Experts chime in with some great ideas as well. It happens every Thursday and it's FREE. To register for the call, click here.

Finally, I encourage you to leave a comment below...or post your URL and invite us to check out your site. Those who post at least 10 separate comments on this blog will get a free Cool Site of the Day tshirt. Good until August 15th.

Talk to you later!

For a boatload of crafty marketing tips, I highly recommend that you tune in to Markus' live podcast, Stump Markus.

Even better, be sure to get the 30-day free trial to his Marketing Junkies Inner Circle membership -- it's a steal at just $19 monthly.

SEO: I share my SEO process map for the first time

Hey, is it Wednesday already?!

Less than 24 hours before another addition of Cool Talk.

Tomorrow promises to be another chock full of valuable links gabfest. With any luck, I'll be joined by Makus Allen and Ian Lurie, and a growing cast of Cool Talk regulars ready to share their latest online marketing and web design tips and tricks.

Here's just a sampling of what I plan to cover during tomorrow's live webcast:

• Taking credit and making money from product recommendations
  
• SEO - the best free tools revealed. Plus, we discuss site structure from an SEO vantage point.
• A great firefox browser add-on from Yahoo to help you analyze your site's performance
  
• My 'Eureka' moment regarding GETTING THINGS DONE.
• Blogging - which platform is right for you? And what's the best way to ping?
  
• Typepad vs. Wordpress
  
• How can we value a link from a site with a Page Rank of 7?
• Sales Pages/Letters - should you use scare tactics? We'll make it easy to decide
  
• What should you ask for on your email capture forms?

If you haven't taken advantage of these free call-in webcasts, you don't know what you're missing. And more importantly, you're missing out on connecting with future business partners, mentors, and advisors.

Talk to you tomorrow HERE.
