Unwrapping the New Holistic Marketing Package

Fans of Barry Welford will love the launch of his new blog, "BPWrap". Barry's reports on Strategic Marketing from his new blog, as well as the new Cre8asite Network Cre8tive Flow blog are pointing to his daily roundups from the 7th International Internet Marketing Conference - Montreal. Thanks also to the Search Engine Roundtable for supporting the launches of both BPWrap and Cre8tive Flow, by allowing us to feature Barry's conference journey.

Some of Barry's observations include:

     "E-commerce has more than tripled over the last 4 years to reach 17 billion $ US in 2003."

     "There was a widely shared optimism (or perhaps realism) about the enormous returns that most companies can achieve by having a strong online (Internet) core to their marketing."

Link Schmink:

Ammon Johns (aka "Black Knight") writes about the The Real Meaning of Links

     "It is a mistake to think that the search engines invented the idea of links carrying meaning. Modern methods of semantic analysis are simply based on the assessments we make for ourselves all the time."

A Cre8asiteForums thread asks in Linking to higher or lower Page Rank?

     "Which is better, 50 sites with low PR, or 15 sites with High PR?"

To blog or not to blog. Some people still ask. What is the purpose of blogs and people still answer.

     "I'm too sexy for this blog" Five pages and still singing. Yesterday's Music is Better, Kids Say

Honorable Mention:

A special thank you to Edward Lewis and staff at SEOConsultants.com for their continued support to Cre8asiteForums, Cre8asite.net, Cre8pc and all related blogs.

To everyone who contributed to the SEMPO thread at Cre8asiteForums, including Barbara Coll and Christine Churchill from the SEMPO Board, out of which SEMPO formulated a new FAQ. What Does Sempo Mean To You?

     "Today we launched a SEMPO Frequently Asked Questions section that was developed from many of the questions presented here and in other forums. The SEMPO FAQ is located at http://www.sempo.org/faq.php."

Disappearing Act:

I will be away for a brief hiatus to focus on a web project and write for Scottie's Successful Sites newsletter.
