BusinessBlogs.co.nz, PropertyBlogs.co.nz and BusinessBlogsHub.com are what I class as “Content Hubs”.

Yesterday I had the unfortunate situation of being in contact with an Internet Troll. Before I talk about ways to combat an Internet Troll lets first define what an Internet Troll is.

I was having a discussion today with a person who is very knowledgeable on social media topics and an interesting thought came into my head that I want to share with you.

Owning several businesses that provide services to small business I constantly see patterns emerging within the small business community.

Rodney Wayne Franchisee – Swan Management Limited (Rodney Wayne) engaged CampaignHub’s* social media marketing solution to build up their email database quickly and ethically.

Julian Smith General Manager MYOB NZ has sent in some excellant GST resources for business owners.

For many business owners Twitter is often placed in the “too hard” box, which is understandable, as 75% of all Twitter accounts used for business have been abandoned.

Small businesses stand to benefit immensely by having a website of their own. The website becomes their biggest promoter, and an online presence can be the best marketing tool for their products and services.

This makes perfect sense to me and I have written about this before. If these “experts” are making a ton of money using their strategy/product why on Earth would they be selling their secret to the world for $97.00 plus a few 100 useless bonuses?

Now, when a user adds a comment to the iFrame version of the Like button, a larger, more prominent story will be shared with the user’s friends. In the past, we’ve seen comments result in increased distribution and referral traffic.

This post is to provide an update on the suspension by Twitter of one of our business profiles. We finally received a response from Twitter regarding the reason for suspension and the response is clearly a worry for any business.

Only when you get suspended or banned from a social network will it finally dawn on you how much of your own life you put into these networks. As of 48 hours ago one of our business Twitter profiles with over 5,000 followers was suspended.

In the summer of 2008, I did not have a care in the world. I was working remotely from a small island in the Mediterranean, for my families telecommunication business, located in the suburbs of NYC.

Property Tutors engaged CampaignHub to market their recent 4 Hour Event via social networks including Twitter and Facebook.

I asked some of our contributors to provide us with their best tip on how a business can survive especially while we are in this recession.

The debate of how much effort and resource a business should invest within social media for engagement continues but we at BusinessBlogs.co.nz have found that social networks are increasingly making up 30-40% of our inbound traffic.

BusinessBlogs.co.nz mission is to help small business “get found” on the Internet by using a “blog hub” concept to drive traffic to the website in order to increase brand awareness for each participating business.

A Facebook Vanity URL is hard to describe using words so instead I will show you visually. See example below.

As many businesses are now trying out Facebook as a new communication and marketing channel few realize that being banned from Facebook is not that hard.
