    An email I received from the folks at HUBSPOT this week about Google.

    I found this pretty interesting stuff. I hope you do as well. Last week, Google made a change to encrypt all search activity -- except for clicks on ads. This means marketers won't even be able to get keyword data for searches conducted by users who aren't even signed in. (Cue marketers...

    Facebook Business Page Insights for 9/26 - 10/2

    Greets all. I thought I would share some interesting numbers relating to my Facebook business page. It is strictly wedding business only, and that's the only thing that gets posted about. In my opinion, this is better than any Google analytics. If anyone is interested in viewing the page...

    I broke down and posted an ad on Craigslist

    Are times that tough? Sadly, yes. To be honest, I don't expect to garner anything but Google page placement out of it. So for your browsing amusement, here is the link to the ad: http://greensboro.craigslist.org/evs/2893994372.html

    Bar & Club New Video Promo For Johnny & Junes

    The club paid someone to produce a video promo. I'm going to reserve comment, only because I work in television production and know what I like and don't like. You folks feel free to comment.

    One Of The Reasons That Led Me To Do What I Do

    Growing up, I listened to all the great jocks on the radio, and thought - "How cool would it be to do that for a living?" My Dad always told me to follow my dreams, so when I decided to go to college to get my degree in Communications in the radio and television field, it was jocks like this...

    Where Would I Order A Custom (Metal) Gobo From?

    My April 24th bride is interested in having the couples' initials on the dance floor during the reception. I know this has probably been covered under another thread before, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone that can help steer me in the right direction? It would be greatly appreciated. I know...

    Bar & Club Johnny & Junes Fall Concert Lineup

    It's been awhile since I've shared stuff about the club, so thought it was time I updated you on what we're doing these days. We've updated the inside of the place, by remodeling where the BIG bar was and knocking out a wall of where the kitchen area used to be. The kitchen wasn't being used...

    Semi-retiring from the business

    I know I said something about this earlier this year and some of you didn't really believe me. Well, I have started putting the wheels in motion in order to move toward that goal by the end of this year. As of July, all Yellow page advertising goes away, as well as all Bellsouth services. I...

    Bar & Club quick picture

    Thought I would share this with the group. I complained the other day to my sound guy that he was always getting the good pics of him snapped with the big artists and great groups that played the club and I always missed out because the shots were either snapped during closed session sound...

    Insurance Policy Pages

    I thought I would share this with the group. The attached are policy pages from my business insurance booklet. It's an expensive policy, with the premiums running around $900/year, but it covers just about anything you can think of. The company is Zurich International. Cheers.

    This past weekend was redneck heaven at the club. Jody Lee Petty opened for Colt Ford. This was the biggest concert draw we've had all year. The pics in the link below will prove that. All I can say is that it was very warm inside the club even with the A/C going full blast. Just the sheer...

    Bar & Club Johnny & Junes Pix from Friday 2-11-2011

    Another incredible night for the club. The opening band (Ross Coppley) basically brought the house down before the national act even hit. Chris Young, who is an up and coming nashville star, was the headliner last night. His 3rd number one single on the country charts - Choices hit #1 this past...

    Need to vent - SEO experts take notice.

    OK, just so you know ahead of time, this is going to be long, so bear with me. First the setup - I am contacted regularly via email from different marketing S.E.O. vendors that tell me my website looks great, but doesn't show in the search engine rankings, that they could make it do better...

    30 day Google Analytics Report

    Greets all. I don't know how many of you employ Google analytics to track visitors to your websites, but I find it a great tool, if for nothing else but for information sake. But then again, being the numbers kind of guy I am, I would find it interesting. At any rate, what follows are screen...

    What Anti-Virus Program or Suite Are You Using?

    I thought this would be an interesting topic to share across the board. In the past, I've used AVG, Norton Inernet Security Suite (that comes with all the bells and whistles), and WebRoot (it was free with my laptop purchase). Granted, I've tried a couple of others such as Trend Micro and...

    My Two Craigslist Ads

    I don't normally advertise on Craigslist, for obvious reasons, but I recently thought, what the heck - It can't hurt. So, below are the two ads that are currently running. One is a little more ostentatious than the other, but hey, we're talking Craigslist...

    Bar & Club One of Johnny & Junes Most Popular Local Bands

    I thought I would share this with the group. This is a video of one of the most popular bands that play our club on a regular basis. You'll need to forgive the beginning of the video, because whoever was behind the camera was videoing Chris goofing off in the Green Room before I introduced them...
