As I wrote on Friday, my wife and I (and the grandchildren) spent the weekend in York County playing around at the Menges Mills Historic Horse, Steam and Gas Show. We had a blast. One of the highlights of the show (for us) was that all three grandchildren took first place in the pedal tractor…

The Menges Mills Historic Horse, Steam And Gas Show
This weekend, my wife and I decided to set up a booth at the Menges Mills Historic Horse, Steam and Gas Show. We work the show every year. It’s just something we do. I’m able to write this blog post, and my client blogs, due to a mobile wi-fi hotspot we recently purchased off the…
Is Your Web Marketing Company Spamming?
While managing my client blogs this morning, I noticed a spam comment, which I quickly sent to the blog’s trash folder. What struck me as unusual (in an ordinary way) is that this blog comment was an obvious spam comment and it was left by someone who should have known better. Before I talk about…
Bike Week, Charlie Daniels, And The Internet
This past weekend was Bike Week in Gettysburg. Anyone who is familiar with Bike Week knows that it can get loud and noisy, but the beauty of it for a non-biker like me is that I get to see a lot of chrome and cozy up next to my favorite wild animal – The Freebird…
Sponsorship Opportunities
Taylor and Associates frequently looks at other opportunities. I have always been the type of person who will try something new just because. How else are you going to grow as a person?

Is Your Online Business Local Or Global?

One of the most important decisions you’ll have to make is whether your online…

Do you spy on your competition? You should. The world of search is a very competitive world and it’s getting more competitive every day. As more and more people go online searching for information, more and more companies go online to provide it. There is always someone lurking around the corner to knock you…
Why I Like Resellers
It took me a while to figure this out, but I discovered that my life as a freelancer consisted of a pendulum of time. I’d spend a few days out scouring the Web for opportunities, bidding on jobs, and securing new work. Then, I’d stop selling and start working. When I ran out of…
Why LinkedIn Is No. 1
I’ll be honest with you. I haven’t used LinkedIn as much as I should. I know I should be on it every day, schmoozing and shaking virtual hands. I should be out there rubbing elbows with the big people, telling them what they want to hear, and making business deals like the Keebler elves make…
Declare Your Interdependence
I hope you had a Happy Fourth of July, or as we say in the states, Happy Independence Day. Of course, most of us know that there truly is no independence. Rather, the world is connected through various strains of interconnectedness. That’s true online as well as off line. However, it’s more true online where…
