Greetings & Thanks for Visiting!

mike corso - seo - cool site I'm a web viking and digital marketing ninja (SEO, SEM, email, social media, landing page optimization, lead generation, etc. ) responsible for Cool Site of the Day, the Internet's oldest directory (launched in 1994).  I'm also Google Adwords Qualified and am one of only .5% with direct access to Google corporate. One of my goals with Cool Site of the Day is to shine a light on all the cool websites since the beginning of cyber time.

Cool Site of the Day has featured a unique site every day since August of 1994...nearly 9,000 sites!

As for my approach to Internet marketing and SEM, the following quote says it all:

“That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially.” (Pearson's Law found on Mark Joyner's Simpleology)

More background

In 1993, I was the first person to promote music on the Internet for the major record labels (via bulletin boards and primitive websites!). After 5 years working for the music industry, I bought Cool Site of the Day (1998).
I have been quoted in several online and offline publications including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and am usually available for interviews and speaking engagements.

Sometimes I find time to offer consulting services...

If you do decide to contact me for a consultation, know that we will FOCUS on keyword research and competitor analysis INTENSELY (believe me, it will save you hours/days/months/years of heartbreak). THEN, you will know if your idea has a shot; if not, I will likely redirect you towards a more lucrative path.

How I spend my free time

Okay, so I messed up…

…dropped the ball. “Bit the bag and stepped out the door,” to quote a quotable movie. Much to my embarassment, we received a batch of emails regarding our Cool Site of the Day of Feb. 03, 2007 which, incidentally, hadn’t been updated since April 7, 2003. Yes, that long. And, YES, it says so RIGHT ON THE HOME PAGE.

So what happened? Well, there was this monkey, see. An evil monkey, and I was scared… and…

The truth? I was in a rush. While normally we give each site very careful consideration, there are times when a date is open, I just got over strep throat, and am in a mad rush to pack up and leave for 5 days where I make a hasty selection. TOO hasty, and put a virtual foot in my virtual mouth. But worry not… the chances of me getting strep just before going away again are slim, and this kick in my virtual butt has been an eye-opener that is going to make me even more scrutinous about my selections.

We appreciate you checking us out, and noticing when a site isn’t up to par for one reason or another, and promise not to take it for granted.
