Local.com is a website I came across while looking for a way to “penetrate” the local catering scene here in Phoenix. I was doing some online research and found the site and…I like it!
Sure, there are a bunch of other local search type sites out there but this one is way better. It’s a hybrid of all the large local search sites like; Yelp, YellowPages.com, CitySearch and SuperPages. Cool thing is, Local partners with the above sites to offer users the ability to just visit one site to find local restaurants, business contact information and hours, driving directions, as well as an aggregate of reviews from multiple sites. Essentially, local.com is a one stop shop for finding local businesses and services in your area.
Also, for those of you who own a business, Local allows you to submit your company’s information and website URL to their directory. Best part of all the submission is FREE!

Yes it is true. The newest addition to the social networking scene is David Hasselhoff with his new website; DavidHasselhoff.com. On the site you can create a profile, upload images/videos and start discussions about anything…though the theme seems to always be “The Hoff” in every discussion of course.
The website also offer’s badges for your personal blogs, a forum, the latest news about The Hoff and personal videos David has uploaded (“we’re going live on the internet around the world”) to the site.
From the show the office, to Direct TV commercials to David Hasselhoff, social networking is SO the rage right now.
I can’t wait for BurtReynolds.com to announce their network!

That’s right, Sun City SEOcon is a local Phoenix SEO convention that previously was only open to online marketers in Arizona but, the convention has now been opened up to any online marketer interested.
The sessions at SEOcon are very advanced and many SEO’s from around the country will be presenting, sharing their secrets and giving attendees advice on any online marketing related issues/questions.
I have been asked to speak this year and I’m ready to go all out. I’ve always been quiet about my techniques but not this weekend.
If you would like more information about SEOcon or would like to register visit: SunCitySEOcon.com.

The NextStudent website (http://www.nextstudent.com) has been redesigned and officially launched which I gotta say looks HAWT! The design was done by Andrea Farnsworth and the site is very clean, professional and very easy to navigate. It’s a big change from our last design which was good but kinda outdated.
Big props to the entire NextStudent Web Marketing team who worked on this project. More updates and tools will be coming to the website so continue to stop by or bookmark the site, especially all of you college kids
