Intresting Marketing Blog GMan

January 9, 2007 | Filed under: SEO and Marketing, Blogging      Comments(0)

This blog, titled Look What G-Man Found looks to be an up and coming blog on marketing, he has several categories on tactics, like Whits hat, Black Hat, Affiliate marketing, and more. Once he fixes the header I can see his site becoming very popular. One of my favorite categories is about White Hat Marketing, with only about four posts in it right now, some of them are very informative.

When you are running or starting your business, you will need to look into getting a website. The options for this are endless. You have to pick a domain name, choose .net or .com, or even .edu etc. Then you have to find hosting. Most people think that price is the most important thing when choosing a host. Actually, it comes down to alot more than that. Alot depends on what you are wanting to do; for instance, if you are planning on running an extensive shopping cart website with frequent updates and additions, will you be spending alot of time on marketing? Things like this will require more space, databases, lots of bandwidth, etc.
