Online Marketing, Technology & Life

I find that Saturday is a great day to work - quiet, serene and no phone calls (almost!). For those of you who don’t know me - I’m Vinny and this is my first day on the Blog! I live in Sunny South Africa, Cape Town in particular - one of the 5 most desirable cities in the world to live in.

I am the founder and Chief Strategy Officer of incuBeta.com, a 35 man (& women), South African based Online Marketing & Technology company with a US subsidiary (Clicks2Customers). I travel the world regularly and speak at online marketing conferences such as CJU.

I hope (time permitting) to add interesting articles daily to my blog and try to keep my audience captivated! Don’t feel scared to raise your hand and ask a question! I’ll keep my blogs reasonably short with comments limited to what I enjoy in life! Food, Movies, Music, Travel, Business & Technology! The company focus is particularly on Search Engine Marketing & I will be writing regular commentary on where I see the industry going and honourable mentions to the people & companies driving it.

If you have a website (commercially viable one at least) and you’re not promoting it through Google, Overture & FindWhat - where have you been?? If you have - great!! My aim is to provide up to date and relevant industry information to both beginners and experts alike and share views on this incredible space.

Launching a new website is always a lot of fun, especially when you have over 500,000 pages to play around with!!! BidThenBuy is a fantastic place to sort through the mass of items on eBay and find exactly what you’re looking for in as little time as possible. There are some big plans for the site with increased functionality like auction sniping and some arbitrage sofware.

For those of you who visit or live in South Africa - try eating at Primi Piatti - I just had breakfast there now with Charlene (my fiance) - one of my favourite meals (of all time) is the Fritata Genovese - you have to try it sometime.

I watched King Arthur last night (starring Kiera Knightley), and I was pretty unimpressed - nothing new or interesting except a different twist on the story line which makes it take place nearly 1000 years before when it was supposed to have had occured. Not bad, but I’d only give it a 6.25 out of 10. I will be adding a list of restaurant and movie reviews to the blog shortly.

Anyways, back to Search Engine Submissions for “BidThenBuy“! I would love some feedback on my first Blog and comments or suggestions going forward.

Vinny
