My Dear Readers,

It’s been an exiting run, and I’ve learned an abundance of marketing and content creation lessons. It seems, however, that The Marketer Review can’t fulfill me anymore. It’s time for me to move on, as I’m busy looking for things that are way out of the jurisdiction of the business realm. . . Some of you may have noticed.

It’s time for me to focus on my passion and put the marketing to use there. For those of you who are thinking I quit because of lack of success, I want to assure you, The Marketer Review has exceeded all my expectations. The one expectation left neglected and dissatisfied was my spiritual needs. Remember that marketing is only a tool to make your dreams come true and to keep your passions burning- that’s the most profound lesson I’ve learned.

Talking too much business has made me straight, and I just don’t bend that way.

Thank you for reading, commenting and participating in this part of my life’s journey. It’s been a valuable experience to me, on many levels. I’ll leave the blog as is, for the benefit of anyone who wants to learn from this accumilated body of knowledge.

All the success in the world to you,

P.S.
My other passion, The Pinup Blog, is doing tremendeously well, come for a visit and see where I focus all my marketing energy!

   

My first honest to god interview. I'm stoked! I've been approached by Mike Dammann of Search Feature for an interview. Search feature is a new site that deals mainly with SEO and already has some huge names under its interviewing list (Matt Cutts and Seth Godin, just to drop-name a few). So I'm honored to be on the list of interviewees- Check it out on the Vanity Page.

I'm sure, by now, most of you have heard of Blog Carnivals. Some of you may have even discovered The Marketer Review through a Carnival. Well, I'm happy to announce I'm starting a carnival of my own: The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival!

What's a Blog Carnival?

I'm very well aware that some of you are just starting out your blogging experience, and may not know what a Blog Carnival is. I think it's important you get to know it, as it's a great internet marketing tool.

A Blog Carnival is simply a blog post, that issues a list of links to different articles, from different blogs, all surrounding the same theme. The post could be as elaborate as this, or as simple as this. A typical carnival looks like this, divided into sub categories and quotes the article submitter, stating the blogger's name, the blog's title and the specific article's title.

Why is a Blog Carnival Such a "Great Internet Marketing Tool"?

For a blogger, there are a couple of advantages to submitting an article to a Blog Carnival: You get a free link to your blog. If you submit every week, to a few Carnivals, the links start accumulating substantially. Not only do you get a nice addition to your traffic, but you also have something to show for, when the Google Page Rank and Technorati Authority spiders come crawling. And because Blog Carnivals are themed, you're getting highly targeted traffic, who are specifically interested in your niche.

For a carnival host, such as myself, the main advantage is creating more original content and being able to provide useful material to my readers.

The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival

I'm very excited to announce my first attempt at organizing a carnival, The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival. I have ambitions to make this a weekly carnival, presenting a myriad of reviews, tips, tricks and advise, from my fellow bloggers, each Sunday.

If you want to submit an article to The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival these are the guidelines:

• The articles must be in the niche of internet marketing and professional blogging. You've read this blog, you know what it's all about
• Articles should fit the following categories:
  • Product Review
  • Blog Review
  • Book Review
  • Advise

• No duplicate content - if I've published your article before, please don't resubmit the same article!
• No Spam - May god protect you from my wrath, if you ever dare submit a hypey sales page, instead of a well thought out article. The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival is here to promote your blog, not your affiliate links.

That should cover it. If you're interested in submitting your articles to The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival, just click here and fill out the short application form.

Hope to see you there, at the first edition of The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival, on the 4th of May!

OK, so here I am, minding my own business and having a particularly bad day, when I open my email file titled “Family and Friends”. One of my most beloved friends, which is not in the SEO business, simply asks:

have you seen this?
http://www.werebu.com/seo/5-sexiest-girls-in-seo/

Nonchalantly I click the link, expecting a crazy animated e-card or Youtube video. Instead I see myself listed as a pinup girl for SEO. This is probably the most entertaining thing to happen to me, since I got into SEO. For the title of Sexy SEO Girl, I’d like to thank my beloved friend who sent me the link, Sasha- the author of Werebu (go check it out, it’s got some good marketing tips and ponderings), and the angry commentator- Bausaman (to show my appreciation for your nomination, here’s some link love: Check out Supaswag, an anarchist blog, which is why the web is so great).

Stay super sexy,

Mert Coined the phrase and explains it as follows:

Similar to an anthology, a bloghology is a collection of bloggers, their profiles, photos, and links to their best posts. It is a PDF e-book which can be easily circulated throughout the blogosphere for personal branding and marketing of selected good quality bloggers.

So, check me out and download this fabulous piece of web 2.0.
