New YouTube Tools and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Chris Young

Uploading a YouTube video can be of great benefit for an organization, as links from YouTube carry great weight with search engines. But placing all of this SEO-able content on in a video has its drawbacks, as well. For example, how can spoken words be tracked in Google, or any search engine for [...]

How To Create An Additional Hour Each Day

Chris Young

Right up front, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I love Audible.com. It’s not because they sell downloadable audio versions of pretty much any top selling book for as little as $9.56 per book (far less than the price of books on CD), or because most plans include a [...]

ProEnergy has become a remarkable success story and since one of our missions in life is [...]

Missouri’s Latest Alternative Energy Project

Chris Young

As a company with energy industry marketing ties, hearing about the alternative energy project that was announced practically in our backyard last Friday (October 30, 2009) is exciting. The fact that two current clients (ProEnergy Services and State Fair Community College) are among the partners in this project makes it that much more intriguing.
Multiple [...]
