Becoming a Dragon…

Becoming a Dragon: A Glimpse at the Process

A lot of People Want To Be Dragons; They Just Don’t Know How

First off, anyone who thinks this is just some fairytale or myth need to read the cold hard facts before jumping to conclusions (for example, this…interesting kid who actually thinks becoming a dragon is possible).  The method of transformation outlined there is slightly different from the one that I am presently using to become more than human (i.e. an enormous, winged, wise, fire-breathing reptile of some kind), but it nonetheless carries a key point that all dragons can agree on:  imagination is sorely needed.

So what exactly is my special way of attaining this dream that is on the hearts and minds of many?  Well, first you have to find a group of other dragons who are willing to take you in and put you through the necessary trials, which require a lot of imagination to complete.

The Rise of the Dragon…

Putting aside the obvious physiological, and psychological, changes a potential dragon is bound to undergo, I must emphasize that the dragons assessing you will make you use a computer-with Internet connection, of course-a great deal during their evaluation of your worthiness.  They, much to my surprise, love to search for things and try to make those things easier for others to find, which is actually kind of noble.  Still, they often roar arcane acronyms such as PPC, SEO, and SMM that, to someone uninitiated with such sorcery, are incredibly cryptic and disturbing.     becoming a true dragon

And now an answer to the question that is on any dragon-enthusiast’s mind…

Only on occasion do they breathe fire, but that’s usually done to prepare pierogies or cake, and very rarely to put me in my place (though sometimes they just can’t help themselves; it is fire after all, and they still think it rules).  I’m actually learning to do a bit of fire-breathing myself, though I think the worst you could expect from me right now is a Zippo flame.  Nevertheless, do not let me, or especially the full-fledged dragons, near your home during the holidays:
I feel bad for the bunny…the other dragons just laughed.

Here’s to a Great Transformation…into a Dragon

I look forward to being scaly and immortal in the near future and continuing my efforts with my fellow dragons (assuming they don’t mind me saying that at this point).  Of course there will be difficulties with a newly acquired taste for human flesh and pyromania; then again, it also means immortality, a lot of Internet usage, and fire-breath.

To Bing Or Not To Bing?

June 29th, 2009 by admin

So, I was fortunate enough to watch one of Microsoft’s new commercials for Bing.com, its new live search engine that provides decision based results, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. Being the traveler that I am, I have a sincere appreciation for Bing’s daily feature of random locations around the world accompanied by the 3 or 4 fun facts about these cities or countries. Dare I say I’m sold? Not quite yet; however, Bing offers some interesting tools that are lacking on Google’s end such as Quick Previews, customer service phone numbers in the organic listings and an Explorer Pane for search refinement. Take a look at the picture below which displays an example of what Bing’s Quick Preview looks like.

The box outlined in red is the Quick Preview for the first search result. One can see this preview by simply scrolling the mouse over the yellow quick glance button. (more…)

Tradeshow Marketing Plans Consultants: What can DragonSearch Marketing Do for Trade Shows and Conferences?

February 10th, 2009 by Claudia D'Arcy

A successful trade show or conference is the culmination of well planned effort on behalf of the organizers.

Tradeshow marketing plan consultants can involve social media and SEO techniques early on in the planning process can greatly improved the final outcome of success.

Aside from well run, organized logistics, which usually are in the hands of the event venue; success of the trade show or conference depends on the participants, vendors or speakers and the number of paying attendees. Both of these areas can be substantially improved and numbers increased with the assistance of DragonSearch Marketing.

Any web site supporting and promoting the event will benefit from our standard search engine optimization set up and implementation as a means of increased visibility and the ease of which the website may be found. Increased rankings on the search engines will greatly increase the organic spread of the event. Keyword research allows all to see inside the minds of the end users and go where they already are.

For a more timed campaign, PPC efforts will provide targeted pay per click advertisement with measurable results.

Our internet research department can coordinate and outreach and email campaign to reach both vendors and participants that would be interested in participating and attending your event. Using our expertise in digging deeply into both general and industrial specific sites, we research and find businesses, trade organizations and online communities that will share similar interests. This research will often point to unique and interesting keynote speakers and upcoming issues that are show and conference organizers are not even aware of as they have not hit the general zeitgeist yet.

Adding well branded social media profiles and employing various aspects online social communications will continue to promote the event and allow for a natural viral expanse. We can organize a guerilla attack on both generally populated sites and industry/trade specific sites to spread the word and generate excitement for the upcoming event. By researching the specific industry our promotional team ensures that any site online that might have a relevant interest has the event covered in some capacity depending on the nature of the site whether it be a related blog, or industry forum, or general bookmarking. We build detailed and branded profiles that naturally attract people of similar interests

The standard SEO practice of link building takes a whole other feel when applied to upcoming events. Using our vast repertoire of event listings sites, again, both generally populated and industry specific, we promote the upcoming event in all ways possible. The larger event listing sites will often get picked up by local traditional media, locally oriented online sites, and industry news sites, while the more relevant and specific industry related sites will directly reach in the final interested third party.

In these economically trying times, it might be harder to reach the attendees and parties interested and able to attend your trade show or conference. Guarantee the results of your trade show or industry conference planning efforts by aligning up early with the Dragons of the Internet.
