Don’t have the time to read all the marketing news, blog posts, announcements, and other content related to SEO/social media/online marketing published each week?
I’ve got you covered.
I sift through trillions (well, hundreds) of online publications to stay on top of marketing news that might affect your online business.
A note on the new formatting:
This week I am testing something new: embedding news from my Google+ stream into this Weekly Marketing Skinny.
Why am I doing this?

Now let’s start with the news from Traffic Generation Café.
At TrafficGenerationCafe.com
Yippie! I finally published my SEO Traffic Guide for non-SEOs.
Once you check it out, I am sure you’ll understand why it took me a couple of weeks to write it. However, judging by almost 200 comments, 380 +1, 130 tweets in a matter of a couple of days, it was a success. Let me know what you think:

If you want to be found on the web, yesterday’s SEO strategies are simply not good enough today.
Problem is today’s SEO strategies might be exactly what will boot you out of Google search engine rankings tomorrow.
So how do we, everyday bloggers and online business owners, get a shot at any search engine traffic at all?
Is there hope for us, non-SEOs?

The New Wave of Domain Names: What Is It to You?
In my last Marketing Skinny, I talked about the biggest land rush in the history of the internet – about 1,000 new generic top-level domain names, or gTLDs (the last bit of an internet address, such as the com in TrafficGenerationCafe.com) will come into existence on Feb. 4 or after.
Well, after that bit of news, the questions rushed in:
- What does it mean to website owners?
- Should we rush in and buy out as many new domain names as we can?
+Yaro Starak to the rescue.
He talked about those very things in his latest podcast:
