OK not me exactly, it was actually one of my ancestors, Rupert Antcliff III. In the 18th century he invented a way for people to write on other peoples walls. Sure, it was before the Internet, but the concept was his intellectual property.

Seth Godin recently published a post about the dead zone between being real and being polished: “It’s the banal stuff in the middle that people don’t read. And yet, 95% of what I see is precisely in the dead spot of the middle zone. “

I firmly try to stay in the “real” category (largely because I can’t tolerate the polished up fake stuff), though someone sent me an anonymous email today telling me I need to polish it up

You know a lot, but

• it needs to be made far simpler for laymen
• cut back on the jargon
• skip the rare profanity. It’s is a real turn off for traditional people
• you could take a more professional picture

If I tried to take their advice I would end up with a watered down brand in the dead zone. Years ago one of my mentors gave me this advice

I think the best brands, the best sites have a large portion of their founders personality in them. Never be afraid to be yourself, after all there are 1/2 billion people on the www, not all of them have to agree with you. Concentrate on the ones that share your views, concentrate on making their experience the very best it can be, the rest forget them.

Or to put it another way, the best sites say - this is what we do, this is how we do it, if you don’t like it go somewhere else.

There are a lot of ways to market to consumers and sometimes attempting too many can actually damage promotional efforts. A business which tries to engage with clients through print, mobile, web and post will either have a whopping big budget (think mega-brands such as Coke) or fail to successfully reach their audience through any […]

I use Google every day. Multiple times per day. I also use Gmail, Analytics, Adwords and Google Reader every single day. In fact, there are plenty of Google products I use on a regular basis. For me, that’s the advantage of Google…everything I need in one place with one login, and it all works extremely well. I expect most people reading this are the same.

So when should you switch search engines? Or maybe the first question should be why would you switch search engines? My answer to the first question would be now, and to the second…well, because competition in the search marketplace has to be better than a monopoly, right? I meet a lot of people outside search marketing who are worried by Google’s dominance and by the ‘power’ Google have over them, as well as the effect it could have on their business if Google ceased to be a channel for sales for whatever reason.

My feeling is that businesses would be much happier if Google had a competitor that could bring in significant sales to their business. As someone who manages PPC campaigns, I’d also be happier if Google Adwords had a viable competitor. Adwords is great but not perfect, and it has no other alternative to push it.

Personally, I’m trying to use Microsoft Live more and more. It’s a struggle sometimes - not because it’s particularly bad, but because Google has become a habit. I recently tried Live Maps (previously Multimap) and I actually think it’s better than Google Maps! For so long I’ve thought Google Maps was best but I’d not really tried anything else. It was just convenience. I was stuck in my Google mindset.

Being realistic, it’s unlikely I’ll switch from Gmail or Google Reader but I can ‘do my bit’ by using Live for search. I’m also trying to tell others to do the same. I don’t mind Google; in fact, readers of my blog will know that I love Google! But from a search and advertising point of view, surely competition is better than monopoly? Try Live. Who knows, you might like it!
