The Fallow Garden

A good gardener allows part of the field go fallow every few years.

I think that is what happened to your blog service: Internet Marketing Service by Pam Hoffman.

Time to plant some seeds!

Ready to plow into the project again...

Look at this! It's our very first Internet Marketing Seminar in Dubai! They are so smart over there. They KNOW the oil will eventually be gone and they are spending the money making Dubai a global hot spot for tourists.

I KNOW you've heard something about this small wealthy nation. And there's a very good reason for it.

Now, it seems that they see the power of the internet so watch out world! Here they come.

Your Hosts: Gautam & Ram Ganglani

Wow, as I was reading their site to pull something out for you, I realized that it's a CALL TO ACTION for their countrymen. For all the high tech in that area, they are Internet Marketing Neanderthals!

The entire sales letter is devoted to whipping the locals into a frenzy to come and see some of the folks you and I learn from every day on twitter and thru their videos.

What an amazing piece. I'm going back to read the rest, here's the scoop:

Search Insider Summit

Wow, the one that WAS up here next got canceled! From a major organization too. That was a surprise. Here's your next event and it's NOT in Tokyo. ;)

It's a new one on me. Evidently, I'm behind the curve too, see what's on their site:

"I would trade 100 SES, Ad-Techs, or other trade shows to be at one SIS...It’s awesome to see that the Summit recognized and focused on how search really was more than the click or SERP. Looking forward to the next one!"

"The purpose of the Search Insider Summit is to bring the best minds in the industry together to share leading edge information and experience on search marketing in a think-tank environment, while exploring new technology, strategies and tactics for effective campaigns.

"In a tranquil setting, over one hundred brand marketers, agency decision makers and search marketing experts will network, discuss and debate, working collaboratively to improve the search channel, as well as their own marketing efforts."

And the guest list looks impressive too! Here ya go:

So, now I have two slightly different things in my database. I gave them each a record and I'll list them both here - you'll have to verify what you can to understand what is going on.

You might be getting ready for turkey that week! In Shanghai, they're getting busy at another ad:tech event.

Here's something to 'chew' on:

"In the space of a few years the Chinese online market has seen remarkable growth. The insurgence of technology, the realization of new media opportunities and the incredible increase in users online clearly demonstrates the need for marketers to re-think their media strategies."

Sorry, that's the influence of my boyfriend coming thru, honest... :)

I'm SO SORRY!

I forgot to get in here last night after Loral Langemeier's Cash Machine Workshop to report back to you about my Day 1 experiences!

I had to work after a very long day (there till about 10-11? & home around midnight) to get ready for Day 2.

Loral is good for a very practical kind of experience. I've listened, I've learned AND I've walked around asking for orders...

And I got them! WOW. I can really see this working for myself, can you?

This is so exciting!

Are you about networking like nobody's business and creating order forms and getting the cash??

If you are, we need to talk!

And, if you're in Costa Mesa at the Hilton too...

One More Day, So Come & Say 'Hey'!
