Now and again I come across these little tools that allow you to see how well your site performs again a bunch of criteria, in the vague hope that it highlights something wrong with your site that you can fix and suddenly your site rockets to the first page of Google. Recently I have just finished reading the Inbound Marketing book by the Hubspot guys and found their Grader System. Now I normally take these things with a pitch of salt but I must say I have found the report run from this to be very useful indeed. The data and report shown is top level stuff and doesn’t drill down into too much detail (after all it is a free tool) but it does give you some good pointers about what you could be doing better.
And I am not saying that just because of our score!
Have you checked your grade? Why not do it now, it is free and only takles a few seconds.
Don’t like your score? Well get in touch, send us your score card and we will be more than happy to help boost your grade!

One of the things all companies should have is a batch of content (articles, blog posts and the like) that is sat on your hard drive ready to react to anything. This content reminds me of a Sunday cookup, where you make up a whole batch of food and stick it in the freezer only to get it out when you need it.
Now it is a great idea to have a content cookup too. Take out some time (not necessarily Sunday) and write some articles, blog posts, paragraphs, anything you can think of. You can then “freeze” these in a directory on your hard drive. In this way, when opportunity arises or you need some content, you have some you can use straight away. Or you can grab some snippets and turn them into something you can use.
To give you some ideas, the kinds of things you should be looking to create in your cookup are:
Now you can use the same article for more than one of these areas, but you will get a bigger and better response if you can make each piece that leaves your desk a little bit unique. Write a paragraph or add in some different points or change the focus of the content.
In this way not only do you add value to your own efforts, you will be adding value all round.
One way, I find the time for content writing is during long train journeys. I can get a few articles or blogs written and a few outlines for other bits and pieces. Now I just need to get a netbook to key them straight in rather than use the old pen and paper method which then takes me longer to get published.
Just a quickie to remind you we have a range of freebies that could be useful for you and your business in 2010

Just reading a very interesting post over at Social Media Explorer about US online advertising spends for the next 5 years based on research carried out by Forrester research which you can find here: http://www.forrester.com/Research/Document/Excerpt/0,7211,55668,00.html.
The main bit of interest to me is the current spend in the Financial Services Sector, which showed the following:
Search Marketing $11.00
Display Advertising $10.00
Email Marketing $3.20
Social Media $0.20
Mobile Marketing $0.75
Total IM Budget $25.15
Percentage of Total Marketing Spend 3%
Forrester Estimates (in Millions)
Two things jump out of this at me. Firstly, The huge gap in spend for email marketing. Most lead generators will drive a huge amount of traffic and leads from sending out emails, so I think someone is missing a trick there. There is still huge amounts to be made from email marketing to drive leads.
The second thing was that for all the hype about social media, finance companies in the US anyway don’t seem to be investing in it to the same degree as search marketing which seems to be the core foundation of online marketing, yet social media reach must be huge. It will go to show that the innovative early adopters will reap the rewards.
Are you looking at what you will do next year and where your advertising pennies will go. Maybe this will give you pause for thought about the kinds of things you should be looking at.
