Ah, YouTube. You never know what you’re going to find! This week I discovered a little treasure from the 60′s featuring my boy Leonard, the original Spock. Everyone is aware of Captain Kirk’s vocal abilities, but Spock released a few albums as well. Take a break and watch Leonard sing the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins on the 60′s variety show Malibu U.
Now onto the stuff you were really looking for, here’s what the team’s been reading this week.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on the EMP blog. I’ve been busy catching up on episodes of Shark Tank and counting down to the release of Star Trek Into the Darkness. If you don’t remember who I am, I’m Max Speed, the guy on the Pole Position Marketing team who says things other team members wouldn’t dare say. Maybe that’s why they haven’t let me post for awhile?
While the rest of the team would like me to share some web marketing news, I’d like to share something from the final frontier… space. If you haven’t checked it out yet, go visit Timelapse and view timelapse videos of anyplace on Earth created from nearly three decades of images collected by NASA’s Landsat in collaboration with Google and Time.
Here’s what the rest of the team has been reading…

Here in Ohio, we’ve had a nice week of sunny weather in the mid-70′s, and it’s amazing how a week of sunshine makes you feel! It’s made us feel so good, that part of the crew has made a resolution to start working off that winter weight with an afternoon plank break. I’m realizing just how out-of-shape I am! After the planks, it’s back to the desk to catch our breath and catch up on the latest happenings in the web marketing world. Here’s a sampling of what the crew has been reading this week.

You’ve written what you perceive to be a good ad (or let’s hope you wouldn’t have written it). But, what you perceive doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter to the search engine (Google in this example), and it doesn’t matter to the searchers. What matters is what the searchers think of your ad compared to the motivation that sparked their search, in relation to all of the options in the results they have to choose from.
But, this information isn’t readily available to you. Sure, you can see what your click-through rate (CTR) is, but you have almost no idea if it’s good or bad or how it compares to every other listing you’re competing against. I say “almost” because you can have a sense if it’s good or bad over time through testing and experience with PPC. But I believe you can get a better idea of where you stand if you crunch a few numbers.

This week our crew chief has been in the Big Easy imparting his SEO wisdom to the attendees at PubCon. While the chief is away, the crew will play.

Here’s a sampling of what the pit crew has been reading.

There’s a debate over the significance of page load speed in Google’s search algorithms. However, there’s no debate over the significant impact it can have on conversions. With each passing second the visitor has to wait for the page to load, sales are being lost.

There’s an old adage that says “The pain of losing is twice as strong as the joy of winning.”
This principle can help your business if you use it wisely. Even the threat of potential loss creates agitation in people that plays a powerful role in their decision making. Psychologists call this the principle of scarcity. It says that humans hold more appeal for things that they perceive will become less available in the future. This is why you see scarce items get valued at ridiculous prices. For example, a baseball card might be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars simply because there are not many of them in existence. The same goes for cars. The actual raw material value of the card or car is the same as any other with the same amount of raw materials used to create it. But, the value of the item is not in it’s physical worth. The value is in the possession of it.

There’s always music playing in our office, and you never know what you’re going to hear.

According to this post on Wired, Twitter is set to launch a stand-alone music app that will allow users to find new music based on what their friends are listening to. Tweet away those playlists!

Spring has been rather elusive in our neck of the woods. Actually, downright spiteful with temperatures coming in right around freezing–until today. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and we’re decidedly more cheerful. While we had to wait what seemed like an eternity for warmer temperatures, we don’t want to make you wait for some great reads about link building, analytics and content creation.
