Not saying us Sinclairs are the toughest/coolest people around, but that’s what most people would say! Just heard from my brother Bryan who has just finished cycling the length of New Zealand, including cycling up the world’s steepest street.

An Excellent Problem To Have
I was speaking today with a client after we suggested some specific advertising for his business. His reply was this (now this is a nice problem): “We can’t handle any more customers! The car-park is overflowing and the business simply cannot logistically cope with increased numbers!’ What A Great Problem To Have! This client is […]
Are you easy? Simple steps to more customers
Making things easy for your customers is essential to maximise your sales. After last night’s dinner, I had a little sleep in. I woke about 9 am and, with my daughter, wandered down to the local shopping centre to buy the Sunday papers. As I entered the shopping centre carpark I could see a huge […]
A Lesson In Value (& The Best Photo I Have)
On the weekend an old mate sent me a photo I’d never seen before. It was a photo of me during a football game when I was about 8 years old – that’s me kicking the ball. Within 24 hours of getting the photo I’d had it printed and had it on the wall. A […]
Best Way To Dry A Baby: Spin Cycle or Microwave?
Nice headline huh??! Attention grabbing – makes you go “What the…….????!” The headline is inspired by the work of Matthew Inman, he of The Oatmeal fame.

Why Social Networking Is Going To Kick Search Ass
Just so we’re clear, by “Social Networking” I mostly mean Facebook, with a dash of Twitter thrown in. By “Search”, I mostly mean Google. And here’s why Facebook is going to kick Google’s ass (over time, not for the next year or 2) It’s All About Who You & I Trust You see, it’s all about trust. Let’s say I do […]
20,000 Reasons To Get To The Top Of Google
I’ve just returned from a motorbike tour around New Zealand with 4 mates. The trip really reinforced to me the absolute importance of having high search engine rankings (mostly in Google) and a well crafted web site. You see, we spent a whole chunk of money on various things: motorbike hire was about $8,000 AUD […]

$10,000 For 1 Day’s Work – Here’s How I Do It
$10,000 for a day’s work is a ton of money. Would you like me to show you how I make – and you can too – that sort of money? “You betcha sweet ass we would, Brendon!” you say. “Heh, enough of the cheeky language….kids read this blog,” I’d say ;o) And then I’d get […]
Search Engine Ranking Timelines – Doesn’t Always Happen This Perfectly!
Here’s a pretty typical exchange with one of our clients. We’re trying to help her get Google to understand what her web site is about and to rank it higher for a very competitive term. The client is in the US and I call her “Client” (smart, huh?!). I’m the arrogant loud-mouth (“Me”) who essentially […]
