They sent me a big trophy too. :) ... <br /><br />...to be honest those awards and titles are overrated though. I don't care what people have won. I care what they've done.<br /><br />Seems odd that you hide in anonymity though.|| davidjay ||https://www.blogger.com/profile/11433140031146732831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-3295395309807322252009-12-05T18:34:34.895-08:002009-12-05T18:34:34.895-08:00Not to be a jerk, but if you only shoot for Charit...Not to be a jerk, but if you only shoot for Charities then how can your Germany tour bill you as "Top 15 Wedding Photographers in the World" by the WPJA none the less?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083290141597189608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-42270650825714053222009-11-27T21:27:58.699-08:002009-11-27T21:27:58.699-08:00Rob - if you can prove that blogging is more "...Rob - if you can prove that blogging is more "effective" than Facebook and Twitter than I'll use it but good luck!|| davidjay ||https://www.blogger.com/profile/11433140031146732831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-39666379127476826732009-11-24T17:33:17.756-08:002009-11-24T17:33:17.756-08:00Nick is right...i generate a lot of business from ...Nick is right...i generate a lot of business from my blog and web site. You are just doing something different now. I get 70 percent of business from SEO. As nick says...brides are hanging on Twitter, they still go to google. I hope you are not losing touch already...just sayin! <br /><br />Also...I am a portrait photographer and my client's aren't hanging on facebook as much as your clients. <br /><br />If you are selling stuff to other photogs then facebook and twitter are indeed the way to go.Rob Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603500556544243974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-11006741541308830142009-11-24T01:27:20.667-08:002009-11-24T01:27:20.667-08:00Miss you man!Miss you man!Michael + Anna Costa Photographershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556929986186136453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-45856175073432716302009-10-21T19:58:37.422-07:002009-10-21T19:58:37.422-07:00I also admidt I check you blog all the time and ha...I also admidt I check you blog all the time and have been bummed at the disaearing act, but Bobby has kept us all enterained in your bloggin absence ;) LOL!dani mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162535369376998408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-72497992779057446282009-10-19T21:21:15.158-07:002009-10-19T21:21:15.158-07:00I check your blog often too, Dj, so like Bobby, I&...I check your blog often too, Dj, so like Bobby, I'll miss it!! :P I think we've stopped checking so often cause you never update anymore! Understandable. You're busy with business, and a lovely lady!;) It's not a bad thing to simplify by getting rid of your blog.<br /><br />Twitter is only another version of a status update on Facebook(imho), so as long as you post "Notes" on Facebook every so often as to what is goin on with you, that should suffice us. Maybe. <br /><br />Fun while it lasted! I remember reading your blog for the first time when Brad told me to check you out.

I just emailed your dad! :)<br /><br />Nick - I only shoot for Charities now but I personally think it's better to focus on driving conversations rather than search rankings. Facebook and Twitter do that better than blogs. If you want SEO then stick with a blog. <br /><br />:)|| davidjay ||https://www.blogger.com/profile/11433140031146732831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-82553671150515032022009-10-18T07:09:02.133-07:002009-10-18T07:09:02.133-07:00I think blogging still has its place for those of ...I think blogging still has its place for those of us that are wedding photographers, I think your perspective has changed somewhat because your no longer a wedding photographer DJ... least you don't seem to be anyway. When was your last paid wedding shoot, how many did you do in 2009 ?<br /><br />Twitter is great for reaching other wedding professionals, but I haven't come across a single bride or groom using it yet.<br /><br />Facebook is definitely a great platform for growing business from within existing clients and their friends and family, but it sucks for SEO currently.<br /><br />Blogs as an extension of your website that are updated regularly are fantastic for SEO and therefore great for reaching new clients that start their search for a wedding photographer with a search engine.... and there are still many people out there doing that.<br /><br />Different target market = different tools.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982602207377788995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-56305671202824776842009-10-17T19:30:26.730-07:002009-10-17T19:30:26.730-07:00SHUT UP!!!!
