http://blog.zunch.com/ 2008-09-19T13:16:26-06:00 Sympozeum_blog.zunch.com Zunch search engine optimization (SEO) service helps American business with their Internet marketing efforts to tap into China market by increasing their website rankings on Chinese search engines. http://blog.zunch.com/post/John___Terrence_at_the_Great_Wall_And_Its_Still_Standing.html 2007-11-26T15:27:00-06:00 Well, John and Terrence made it to the Great Wall of China (as evidenced by the photos below). Oddly enough, it was still standing after they left.   James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/John___Terrences_Excellent_Chinese_Adventure_Part_Three.html 2007-11-08T09:41:00-06:00 Apparently, John and Terrence feel like they can actually take a break in their travels and eat. Here we see them dining at one of the best Sichuan restaurants in Shangshi. What, you expected them to find a McDonalds in Shangshi? James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/John___Terrences_Excellent_Chinese_Adventure.html 2007-11-06T15:21:00-06:00 John and Terrence are on the move, and are now in mainland China at the city of Shenzhen. They'll be meeting with some of those companies I told you about yesterday. In the meantime, here's a shot of them on their flight-- Look like a couple of trouble makers to me. And this is the view from the limo they were riding in last night (hey, I admit you can't see much. Work with me, okay?))--   James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/John_and_Terrences_Excellent_Chinese_Adventure.html 2007-11-05T15:03:00-06:00 As I write this, John and Terrence are somewhere in Taipai, having arrived in Hong Kong over the weekend and now having moved onto Taipai. They will be meeting with representatives of several well known companies, including a consuemr goods/baby care products company, a leading luxury car maker and a maker of a popular sauce that my daughter happens to love. They'll soon be moving on to meet other clients and propsecitive clients, but for now, they're staying in a hotel in Taipei that gives them an excellent view of the world's tallest inhabited building. In researching "world's tallest buildings," I discovered that there is a dispute as to what defines a building vs. a structure. For now, it's safe to say that Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan is the tallest inhabited structure. Take a look for yourself in this photo John took--       James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/The_Partys_Over.html 2007-10-31T12:59:00-06:00 ... and Terrence leaves for China tomorrow. His going away party was a success, particularly since some former Zunchers stopped by to help celebrate and to wish him good luck. In just a few days, Terrence will be back in China, although he won't be alone for long. John Sanchez, our CEO, will be joining him there this weekend and the two of them will begin a whirlwind tour that has them crisscrossing China to meet with clients and prospective clients throughout the country. Their journey begins in Hong Kong early next week, and we'll give you daily updates on their trip, hopefully including a few photos now-and-then. James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/Terrence_on_the_Road_Again_For_a_Long_Time.html 2007-10-30T09:11:00-06:00 Terrence Ou, our expert on China, is about to hit the road again for China. Only this time, he's going to be gone for a long, long time. You see, China is proving to be a major source of potential business and many Chinese businesses prefer being able to have face-to-face meetings to e-mails and long distance phone calls. And after his recent book signing tour and stint promoting Zunch in China, it just made sense that Terrence should move to China (Beijing to be exact) and operate from there. Besides, Terrrence has wanted to relocate to China for some time, so it's not like we had to twist his arm to get him to do it. So soon, when you see Terrence's posts both here and on the Zunch China blog, they'll be originating from China, rather than the home office in Dallas. And tonight we're throwing a going away party for Terrence as his send off for the Far East. Should be a fun time for all. James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/Upcoming_Announcement_Regarding_Zunch_China.html 2007-10-10T15:48:00-06:00 While we can't quite spill the beans yet, we've got some major announcements upcoming regarding Zunch China. As you know, Terrence recently returned from there. We're finalizing a few details now, so watch for the announcement in the coming week. James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/Hes_Back_Terrence_is_in_the_Building.html 2007-10-08T13:51:00-06:00 Hey, Terrence just walked in the door. Fresh off a very long flight home from China. And he comes bearing gifts. He just handed me a copy of his book, SEO Unlocked, and a hand fan. I'm guessing the fan is for my wife and kids. Make that my wife, the fan is really cool and my kids would probably manage to tear it up in less than 24 hours. After he settles in and shares some details of his trip, I'll update you on how things are going in China. James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/Americas_First_Look_at_SEO_Unlocked.html 2007-10-02T13:41:00-06:00 Hey, I just realized that our state-side readers, both of them, porbably haven't seen Terrence's hot seller-- "SEO Unlocked." So here's your first look. Unless you're fluent in Mandarin, I kind of doubt you'll understand most of it--   James Sadler http://blog.zunch.com/post/Wheres_Terrence.html 2007-10-02T09:47:00-06:00 Terrence, our man in China, is quietly preparing for his return to the US. In the meantime, he's been visting with Chinese businesses, introducing them to Zunch, and probably offering to sell them a copy of his book SEO Unlocked.. I'm not sure if there's a Chinese version of the business book best seller list, but if there is, I'm betting Terrence's book is on it. We'll get a full update from Terrence upon his return.
