Jeb Banner Thoughts on Compendium Blogware

I'm asked on a regular basis what I think of Compendium. I decided it made sense to post a blog with my thoughts based on research and discussions with others in the SEO biz. Bottom line- Compendium is exploiting an opening in Google's algorithm that could close at any time. I also noted my ideas on how to keep the platform viable if Google does make the changes I think they eventually will, which would punish many of Compendium's blogs. Here is a link to the full post on Small Box:… Continue

Jess Wehner Happy Hour at the Symphony

A couple weeks ago some members of the Compendium team headed over to the Hilbert Cirlce Theater to attend Happy Hour at the Symphony. We enjoyed appetizers from downtown vendors such as Vitos and Oceanair and had a couple free cocktails prior to the start of the symphony. My favorite appetizers were the oysters provided by Oceanair. And when I say favorite, I don’t mean because I enjoyed them! They were mostly my favorite because it was my first t… Continue

Kyle Lacy Independent Blogging Compared to Corporate Blogging

I follow the blogs of many employees at Compendium Blogware, a local company here in Indianapolis offering an extremely trackable and orangic seo based blog software.

Douglas Karr More Time with You, My Family, and My Passion

This still isn't public knowledge but the news is starting to get out so I thought I'd share it with the folks who know me best!

Chris Baggott Is there a difference between blogging within a Company vs. within a Community?

Pat Coyle posed this question to me: I wonder if you'd share with us your thoughts on blogging inside Smaller Indiana? Seems to me that blogging inside a community has some similar dynamics as corporate blogging, but community opens up other cans of worms, no? Both Corporate and Community blogs share many of the same characteristics. You have to be honest, you shouldn't be mean or defame anyone or anything. Both require a 'conversational/human' voice and the accepted societal rules asso… Continue

Chris Baggott Misconceptions about Blog Content

I'm totally lifting this paragraph from a comment I saw posted by Scott Henderson of Mediasauce about Corporate Blog Content and who should write....I promise I will send him a link: "..Another big challenge is the misperception of how to blog. It’s not lengthy white papers, stilted memorandums, and corporate speak, but needs to be more akin to engaging coffee house/cocktail party conversation The savvy corporations tap people who are great minglers and conversa… Continue

Chris Baggott WordPress is Easy???

There are a lot of parallels to compare Corporate Blogging today to where Email Marketing was 5 or 6 years ago. Back then, Email Marketing was free. All you had to do was download a ListServ application, configure a server or two, find and manipulate some plug-in applications for registration or bounces or unsubscribes or de-duplication or throttling or opens & clickthrough tracking or analytics.....and the list goes on. In the end, some geeks might have loved all this tinkering, but from a… Continue
