the perpetual selling virus

English Cut just got a story for the second time on U.S. Public Radio’s “Mar­ket­place”:

“Spea­king of Bes­poke”
Goodbye busi­ness casual. Hello busi­ness suit. Want to out-dapper the other guy? English hand-made suits are all the rage.

Big-Media atten­tion is fine & dandy. Good for cre­di­bilty and cachet etc.
But if I had to choose one or the other, I’d much rather have high Goo­gle ran­kings. No ques­tion.
Big Media offers the short-lived spike in blog traf­fic. High Goo­gle ran­kings offer the per­pe­tual selling virus.

    Tonight at 10pm, rumor has it the pod­cas­ting seg­ment recor­ded by Min­nea­po­lis NBC affi­liate KARE 11 with me and many others within Pod­castMN will air. As much as I’m always happy for an oppor­tu­nity to spread the word on pod­cas­ting and PodcastMN. …

    Not sure what sort of phra­ses peo­ple would searc for if they wan­ted the kind of ser­vice English Cut offers. Perhaps someone who knows a bit about suits and their qua­lity, and has the cash for it, would use that kind of search. I’m not too sure though.
    More impres­sive I think is the num­ber 1 ran­king for [english tai­lor] and num­ber 3 for [tai­lor]. Though perhaps a very gene­ric term like [tai­lor] is not in the best inte­rests of a high end sup­plier like english cut.
