From Success to Failure back to Success

Anytime you try to do something innovative you run the risk of failing miserably.  I have personally hit some recent setbacks and have closed my company to take a position with iMagiclab. While many may think that the owner, Keith Latman, and I have a shaky past, further is from the truth.

I have welcomed the opportunity to use my knowledge of search and social to help market iMagicLab online an in the many available industry resources.  This has been a fun process and it is ongoing.  The things that have worked in the past have almost become nonentities and what needs to happen in the future has not even evolved yet.

I just hope with the things that have happened in my personal life and the lessons I have learned in my failures can translate into new successes down the road.  I am really looking forward to moving towards the new successes that are available and building my future here at iMagiclab.

Rebuilding and Adding too..

My personal blog Who is Paul Rushing and gone ignored long enough so I have done a complete redesign.  It was something I was actually dreading but the searches for my name are rising so I need to make sure what others find about me is accurate and up to date.

I have been spending a lot of time on client work which is good and keeps me pretty busy.  Some of this work is giving them a level of search engine reputation management that they are not aware of.  Like this property for a Cincinnati Ford dealer which is also ranking for their competition names like Colerain Ford and Castrucci Ford.

Someone who has buried all negative information in the search engines around his name, Brian Pasch, has inspired me to have some affiliate properties built around New Jersey Infiniti Dealers and NJ Used Infiniti. 

I now also have my work cut out for me for a Cincinnati Chevy dealer which will really be a fun project.  Automotive SEO is all fun and it will be great to watch these properties mature.

Helping Car Dealer Own Their Relevent Terms

Right now I am working on a dealer micro site platform that will allow dealer to be a total control dominator in their local search markets.  The forst example of such a site is one I made for a Cincinnati Ford Dealer and the other one is to generate leads for the Ford Escape Hybrid.   I also have one going for New Jersey bad credit car loan but it is not really specifically for car dealers as much as it is to drive finance leads.

These will allow car dealers to not rely on poor automotive websites while at the same time driving more traffic to the dealership via the search engines.  In addition to providing them with huge levels of serach engine reputation management. 

I just hope it takes off like I hope it will..

Dealing with negatives?

I love it when people disagree with my opinion. I love it even more their opinion is obfuscated by the exact point I was trying to make. In an online discussion with the ISM at Jim Glover Chevrolet he was using his knowledge of dealer micro sites as a lunching pad to try to destroy my opinion of using social networking to help build a brand and drive traffic to websites.

What his interest in doing so is beyond me. He has plenty of other things to worry about. His personal search engine reputation is horrible. His companies search engine reputation is horrible. His demeanor in online interactions is horrible.

I was going to show him how to get free pay per click advertising for his dealership and personal name on content he would control but why should I help an idiot? I probably wont!!

The good thing is the SERPS for my name is locked down tight for the time being. I am working on an email series now to help others do the same thing for themselves.

This has been ignored long enough!!

I have really been busy with career changes and this project had been put on hold. A recent article I did about how someone chose to advertise a program called "Masters of eMarketing" and the activities of others have caused me to revisit this experiment.

There are people inside the car industry trying protect him by denigrating my message that his marketing activities were not the best way to market his product, he even agreed with me on this point. The person who the original blog post discussed and I have reached a gentleman's agreement on allowing the issue to die down and to speak again in two weeks is probably not involved in these efforts. If he really is a gentleman, time will tell that.

I have disavowed loose ties to people in the automotive industry because of their actions and now must concentrate on my search engine reputation being locked down to its fullest in the event that the agreement I thought I had with JZ is just lip service. I surely hope it is not.

I will be back to posting here daily on my activities as in concerns locking down my Search Engine Reputation and hopefully giving you some helpful tips along the way.
