Welcome to Smuggle Me

Everyone who doesn’t know about Woot should visit their site and check out their daily deals. They aren’t always that good so be careful, but sometimes they are a nice buy.

It turns out there are a number of similar websites that follow a similar strategy. Here’s a few examples:

-Great Daily Deals at Yugster.com
-One Jewel, One day at BFIZ.com
-Discounted Software and Programs at Bits du Jour

Don’t ask me why you want the last one since almost anything you could spend money on you can get open source. However, it’s an interesting concept.

Today I ran across a website for an austin search marketing company called Apogee(http://www.apogee-search.com). I thought the site was well done and I espescially loved that was green reminding you of how much money they can make you.

A good search engine marketing company is essential to a growing business. If you have a business and aren’t marketing to search engines then you are losing customers. Apogee seems to be covering all of the bases like the following:

Paid Search Advertising
Natural Search Engine Optimization

Pay Per Call Management
Affiliate Management
Search Engine Marketing Training
Search Engine Marketing Analysis

Understanding each of these functional areas is important for you to drive traffic to your website. The 2 keys are to first drive targeted traffic to your website. Second, you must analyze the marketing you are doing. Reporting and analysis tools can gather a wealth of information on your search engine marketing. Understanding, optimizing and adapting your search engine marketing is essential.

If you don’t have these skills yourself then look to someone like Apogee(http://www.apogee-search.com).

I think in the past month I’ve been asked by at least 5 people here at work to help them purchase a computer. The first place I go to help them order a computer is a site I learned about a long time ago called Tech Bargains.com. I think the site has lost some of its flavor because it doesn’t seem to have the super deals on computers that I found before. However, it will give you a decent deal for the price.
