We talk a lot here at Comtech News about online marketing, SEO and other Internet Marketing techniques.  We have never really spent much time discussing gold old fashioned branding.  To be fair about it, this blog is about technical stuff and we come at most subjects from that vantage point.  Yet recently I was reviewing […]

Today I was discussing things with Mark Barrera and we were talking about blocking IP addresses of clients on Google Analytics so visits to their own site would not count.  This is really simple to do with Google Analytics.

It’s about 7:30 on a beautiful Sunday Morning in the Arkansas Mountains as I write the second post of my Blogging Without The Internet series.  Today I started thinking about what it was like back in 1998 when I really started to get into Internet Marketing as a newbie.  In a […]
