"Hi James, You probably know this re where eat a frog comes from, maybe others don't. The French writer Nicolas Chamfort (not Mark Twain) recommended that you should start your day by eating a frog. What he meant was to do that one thing you hate the most first. His Wikipedia page explains more. worth a look. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Thanks Lee, the suggestions about interviews are a good one. Must do this. I know I should but you know.... :)" - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Lee, any thoughts on how to 'extend' content into different formats, eg video, audio and... which perform best/worst? From across the pond, thx Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Exactly. Once it's in the calendar, you're that much closer to doing it. btw, there's a really good book by Peter Bregman called 18 seconds. See if you can get a copy. He's really good at mapping a framework to structure things and like you said scheduling. Think you'll enjoy it. He's on HBR as well. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Jayson, Happy Easter before I start. I did a small experiment in March. I blogged 20 times in 20 days. Average length 800-1000 words. The result: The Google Crawl rate shot up, Traffic was steady. Sales increased. Also, Linkedin traffic went much higher but... MS Bing traffic went down. Then I stopped. But... three weeks later - with only i post a week - traffic began to increase. My interpretation: increased frequency alerts G that you're more active. After a delay, it factors this in and returns traffic to your site. No idea why Bing slipped. Regards from Ireland, Ivan fyi - small typo on While 8000 world blog" - Ivan Walsh

"the Buffer app is nice for scheduling posts. works on FB pages now" - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Julie, I turned mine off because the number of comments plummeted once twitter and FB gained traction. Whereas once I was getting 5-10 comments it fell to maybe 1 of none, which looks bad... Also, I suspect Google ignores comments as a signal. BUT I do leave comments on my inner circle' of sites that I follow of Feedly, more to support the site than gain backlinks etc. hth Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"David Cameron, the GB Prime Minister, tweets. What's interesting is that they're obviously from him - not some underling - and quite often he shoots himself in the foot. See the Nigella Lawson trial. But... somehow this makes him more interesting, give him a bit of personality." - Ivan Walsh

"Great article, Rob, It's always surprising (or maybe not) how many customers don't baseline before starting a new project. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Hmmm, interesting to see how Netlfix reviews its prices, which I believe is coming soon. When you have a captive audience, it’s one thing. When they have choice…." - Ivan Walsh

"Amber, to help me understand this better. is there a cast study or example you could share to put this in context. thx Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"It's a good point. If you dont have a benchmark, how can you measure where you're going. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Mark, 1. Every month, allocate 1 hour to check for search checkers 2. Do a Google disavow on the prime offenders 3. If they’re targeting a specific page, move your content to a new page 4. Do a 301 redirect 5. Then close your page when the google juice has passed over Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Excellent article, Joel. I'm actually going to print this out. Finding like minded people online is, for me, what's made the difference re amplification. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Nice one, Eamonn. gave me a few ideas there. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Yes, women use it more frequently." - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Nicolas, Just a quick note to say we mentioned your PG Wodehouse tips. It’s at: http://www.ivanwalsh.com/web-w... Regards, Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Excellent article, Marie." - Ivan Walsh

"Hey JP, eJunkie is the one I'd recommend. The GUI is a bit odd at first but once you get used to it, it's very reliable." - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Hanna, it's a judgement call, I think. If something will make a person look foolish if it gets printed, then I'd flag it. But if I don't know them well or am new to a company, I might let it go. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"thanks Helen - they've worked for me as a type of proof that a service adds value. also as a route to get freelance writing work, ie to help develop a marketing pack for clients. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"A suggestion: remove the ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Genesis Framework ad for a while and promote Owner mag instead." - Ivan Walsh
