Most people already understand that blogging can be used to demonstrate expertise and build rapport, which together create trust. But that’s just the beginning. Did you know that search engines favour bloggers? And did you know that social media enhances the impact of sites with blogs. This means traffic. (Trust + Traffic = Sales.) [videoframe][/videoframe]

Well, why wouldn’t they? There’s nothing wrong with being an introvert. There has been recent research about mavericks, or extroverts, being more likely to be entrepreneurs. Yet, the introverted entrepreneur is not as rare as you might think.
Many businesses are finding new customers by advertising on Google. However, what you may not realise is that only a small group of people actually click on these paid ads.
This year’s overall Cool Company winner, iiNet, was recognised for its use of innovative technologies, clever marketing and for challenging some of Australia’s biggest brands. “This company sells itself as solid like a big telco but has managed to sustain the spunky attitude of a startup,” said Anthill founder James Tuckerman, at the Sixth Annual Cool Company Award in Melbourne on Thursday.
Zach Nelson is CEO of NetSuite. He was named one of the 10 Visionary CEOs of 2008 by InternetNews.com, after guiding the company through its 2007 IPO. He helmed it from startup to one of the world’s leading cloud computing companies. So, it’s not surprisingly that he should hold this view. Yes, he is biased. But is he wrong?
Darren Rowse is a global professional blogging phenomenon. In 2002, he ‘stumbled across a book on blogging. Within five years, his ProBlogger blog was listed as number two on Technorati’s most favorited blogs list and number 40 on its most linked to list. His blogs generate around 85,000-100,000 page views… wait for it… a day!

Last week, we asked our readers to help us re-design our slightly-outdated Cool Company Awards logo. Via this site, Twitter and Facebook, we asked you, dear Anthillians, to define what images you think epitomise the concept of cool. We’ve shortlisted the best. And the best of the worst. We’re now seeking your input. Help us choose the logo for Anthill’s Cool Company Awards.
It’s often said that there has never been a better time to be a young entrepreneur in Australia. We have the economic stability, a soaring Australian dollar, access to technologies undreamt of only a decade ago, plus a growing army of baby-boomer mentors who would like nothing more than to see the next generation of…
At this year’s Cool Company Awards, category winners were presented with a trophy that could be described as Australia’s biggest award in business — a 1.2 metre, individually branded bean-bag. Produced by Ambient Lounge, a winner in Anthill’s SMART 100 earlier this year, the nine bean-bags, each branded with the award’s logo and the category winner’s name and accolade, were described by Anthill Editor-In-Chief as “perfect for the office, reception, pool room… or boudoir.”
In this week’s Talking Business interview, Jason Castan talks about his company Never Can Tell, an app developer for Apple’s iOS platform used in the iPhone and iPad – and one of many companies named after snippets from Pulp Fiction.
This question was presented with an offer to voice my views and suggestions at the next SBDC board meeting on Thursday 21 September. Now, as many Anthill readers probably know, I’m not based in NSW. So, I don’t feel qualified to answer. But I do know that close to 40% of Anthill readers do live in NSW. As such, I’m turning the question to you. If you have a suggestion for the SBDC, this is your chance to tell the PTBs (powers-that-be) what you think.
The motivation behind last month’s ‘casting-call’ is now no longer quite so mysterious.
