			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.epiphanydigest.com/2007/06/27/and-now-for-something-completely-different/">We told you previously</a> about <a href="http://www.epiphanydigest.com/antique-armor-cuirass-breastplate-backplate/">the armor we listed</a> on eBay.  This isn&#8217;t necessarily all that unique &#8212; people sell interesting things on eBay every day.  What was unique was using a proven platform such as a blog in order to promote the listing.</p>
<p>How&#8217;d we do?</p>
<p>Well, we&#8217;re happy to report that the auction ended last night.  We&#8217;ve already been in communication with the buyer (a &#8220;mate&#8221; from the land down under &#8212; howdy, Dan, if you&#8217;re reading this!).  He seems like a great guy.  We&#8217;ll be shipping his new purchase out to him tomorrow.</p>
<p>More interestingly, however, are the results we managed to achieve on our search keywords.  We got into the top 10 (read: 1st page) of results for these words: antique armor cuirass.   Here&#8217;s some photographic proof for those of you from Missouri:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.epiphanydigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/google-results-20070708.jpg" title="Google Search Results July 8, 2007"><img src="http://www.epiphanydigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/google-results-20070708.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Google Search Results July 8, 2007" /></a></p>
<p>The lesson?  If you&#8217;re trying to <a href="http://www.epiphanydigest.com/2007/06/07/are-you-getting-noticed/" title="Getting noticed">get noticed</a>, you can&#8217;t beat a nicely-placed business blog.  From an internet marketing standpoint, this is nearly magical.  If you have a business and you aren&#8217;t blogging, you&#8217;re missing out on a phenomenal opportunity to communicate with your existing and future customers.</p>
<p>For those of you wondering about our traffic, I don&#8217;t have any other armor auctions to compare things to, so I can&#8217;t speak intelligently to that.  But on the blog site itself here, we had a significant spike in traffic looking for armor.  Ironically, much of it seems to have come from Digg!</p>
<p>Get busy blogging!</p>
<p>And, by the way, we happen to specialize in getting you off to the right start.  Contact us today!  <img src='http://www.epiphanydigest.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t wait, here&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.theblogstudio.com/index.php/v5/blogComments/a_guide_to_business_blogging_v2_now_available_for_free_download/" title="Why your business should be blogging.">great article we just found</a> from the folks that put together the snazzy new design for <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/" title="Michelle Malkin">Michelle Malkin&#8217;s blog</a>.</p>
