You might also want to give olark a look. It's a paid service, but they have a free account good for 1 operator, and 20 conversations a month. Might be a good place to start. And it takes seconds to drop their javascript on your site. And $15 a month if you need more conversations. Price...

Has anyone tried to setup up Twilio and openvbx? It's super simple especially at dreamhost where they can auto install it for you. Click click done, and you can provision phone numbers to your hearts content to forward to other numbers. Each number is $1 a month plus usage fees in the pennies...

"iPad cases" guy is BH and has is org address as number 1 still. -- I'm not sure about this whole "outing" other sites thing, but since iPad cases guy was brought up in a previous BHW post, it seems fair game for further scrutiny from us. Right? Or no?

I just started fooling with Google Places. I tried to list a friend of mine. I created a new website for him, with the city name and niche name in the url. Went to Google Places under a very fresh proxy. (Proxy doesn't trigger google search or youtube video captchas as other abused proxy...

There's a fantastic post on the SENuke forum about a guy named voltron and how he got started, what he charges, what he does for his clients, etc. I can't share links yet, but I think you might get a lot out of his post. So let me try and explain how to find it. First go to the senuke site...

Scrapebox is a complicated little tool when you start looking at it. Trust me though, after you fool with it patiently you'll start to understand all its buttons. I'm not sure I understand your question though. To use the custom footprint basically just start typing a query into the textbox...

What's up with these crazy comments too. Like "ptxamgbgrl" and then his url and then another random string of characters. Why is it just random garbage, is there a trick to that? I haven't used xrumer at all or really considered comment spam, until now :) Jesus

I'm not an SeNuke promoter perse. But to be fair. Article directory submissions are about 1/10 of what this tool does. All of its other features like profile accounts and video submissions can easily reduce your need for another 2 or 3 apps to do those things. Also, I'm a pretty recent...

Jack shit from bing over here. I'm ranked on the first page there for a pretty popular search term, and I haven't seen a soul from Bing.

Yeah, he is nuts :) He's got a lot of great videos on that blog. His enthusiasm and passion are extremely contagious. You can't help watch most of this stuff and feel a ton more motivated to do whatever it is you want to do.

I've been seeing a bunch of posts/comments here about a fear of cold calling. Gary Vaynerchuk has a very inspiring video about how he would monetize a blog of his. And he basically just looks for a Google Adwords advertiser and calls them up. It's inspiring because the guy does Zero preparation...

Love threads like these. Subscribed. Any further luck?

Have you thought about just sending out a dozen emails with a pitch to see where that goes? I've found email is a nice ice breaker for me, and a lot easier for me to do than cold call.

Is this your first time doing this? Or did you just recently get the itch to start doing local seo consulting? Any resources you've found helpful in getting started (like Local Business Money Machines which can be found here on BHW)? For the evaluations I'm confused. Are you emailing those to...
