Welcome to the Gecko Tribe Nexus

The internet marketing industry is not known as a bastion of ethics. But there are ethical internet marketers. If you're one of them, then welcome.

Ethics have always been at the core of the Gecko Tribe. Our White Hat Crew blog was started for the purpose of promoting ethics in internet marketing. And ethics have been a consideration in every product and service we have developed.

"Synergy" is a widely abused buzz word. While others give it lip service, we build it into the way we live.

In the Gecko Tribe, synergy means finding ethical ways to amplify each person's efforts, and lift each other to the next level. Opportunities to collaborate and synergize in the Gecko Tribe include:

• Participating in Critical-Mass Blogging Teams
• Joining our Blog Network
• Participating in the Forum
• Masterminding with other members in the Video Chat Room
• Changing the world two people at a time with The 1+1=4 Project
• Partnering with us

In every job, there's the human element, and there's the grunt work. Attempts to automate the human element dehumanize our industry, which, in an ever more connected world, leads to businesses that are out of touch and left behind.

But that doesn't mean we can't automate the grunt work. We use tools to free up time and energy, empowering us to do more of what's uniquely human.

Tools offered by Gecko Tribe include:

• Blog Riffer: a combination RSS reader, blogging & social platform
• CaRP Evolution: keep content up-to-date automatically using RSS feeds
• TriggerNote: a modular website interaction engine (too much to explain here)

Tools are good. Understanding how and why they work, so that you know how best to use them, is better. Resources for learning from Gecko Tribe include:

• Our Video Library
• Our White Hat Crew marketing blog
• Riffs on a Purple Cow: an ethical marketer's response to Seth Godin (Kindle book)
• How to Build and Operate an SEO Content Factory (free eBook): PDF or Mobipocket/Kindle
