| November 19, 2008Had an awesome time at PubCon last week catching up with many old friends. I found it pretty cool to hang out with some of the same folks I hung out with at my very first conference back in 2000! Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |
| October 31, 2008I'm looking forward to PubCon next week. I'm not much of a gambler, but Vegas is still cool to visit now and then. And catching up with old friends makes it all the better. If you're at the conference, please try to come up and say hi! I love meeting newsletter subscribers. Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |
| October 22, 2008I have a busy schedule over the next few weeks. Along with our typical client consulting, we have our October SEO training class on Friday, then next week is our SEO Lunch and Learn, and the week after that is PubCon in Vegas. I have to say, it will be nice talking SEO in person for awhile instead of just here, on the forum and on Twitter! Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |

| July 16, 2008We had an enjoyable 4th of July weekend on our cruise to St. John's, Canada. The cruise itself was okay, but when you're not big eaters or gamblers, there's not a whole heck of a lot to do! The good part was having the time to just hang out with the family.

| April 30, 2008If you're in the New England area this week (and if you see this before Thursday night), you don't want to miss the latest SEMNE event happening in Nashua, NH on May 1 from 6:30 to 9:00PM. A whole bunch of search marketers will be networking and sharing ideas, as well as learning why blogging is essential from business consultant Ted Demopoulos. Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |
| April 23, 2008The April SEO training class went off without a hitch and turned out to be another fun and interesting group. It's really nice having just 6 people in each class because then we all get to know each other a bit during the day. Can't wait to meet the May folks in a few weeks!

| April 9, 2008I'm gearing up for our SEO Training Class on Friday, which looks to be a good one. After all these years in the biz (13!), I still enjoy reviewing all these websites and figuring out the best way to help them increase their search engine traffic. It's like getting to solve SEO puzzles all day long in the office!

| March 26, 2008Last week's Search Engine Strategies conference in NYC went really well. The organic SEO session that I spoke at had some interesting questions posed by audience members. I even broke my no-party rule and checked out MSN's party at Slate. It was surprisingly fun for 2 reasons: 1) it wasn't too loud, and 2) they had ping-pong tables!

| March 12, 2008If you're at SES NYC next week, be sure to attend the Organic SEO panel discussion on Monday morning. I'm on the panel with Greg Boser and Dave Naylor. With Mike Grehan moderating, it's sure to be a fun and informative session! Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |
| February 20, 2008I've been having a wonderful time traveling the world the past few weeks.
Well, not really the world, but across the world! Wellington, New Zealand was terrific, as was the Webstock conference. Every person I met there couldn't have been nicer. Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |
| February 6, 2008That's all for today! I'm off to New Zealand, then Honolulu, followed by Santa Clara starting on Saturday morning. If you're in the Wellington, NZ area the week of Feb. 11, let me know and we can try to get together. If you're in the Honolulu area the week of Feb. 18, same thing! And if you're in Santa Clara the week after that for SMX West, I'll totally see you there!

| January 23, 2008We're looking forward to our SEO Training Class at the end of next week. It looks like we have a great crew signed up so far. We've been hard at work reviewing their websites and overall SEO pain points so that we can provide them with the info and SEO strategies they're seeking. It's going to be a lot of fun!

| January 16, 2008That's all for today. January is off to a bang, and we're busy, busy, busy! I'm looking forward to my trip to New Zealand in February for the Webstock NZ conference, although I'm not looking forward to the amazingly long flight. But I figure it can't be worse than it is in my head thinking about it. At least I hope not! Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |
| January 2, 2008Between going live with the new site, uploading old newsletters (still many to go), creating redirects, and documenting how Google is indexing the whole thing, I did get away with the family for a few days to Florida. We had a nice, relaxing time, especially the full day I got to sit by the pool with my laptop. Now that's my idea of fun! The hotel had great poolside service for food and drinks, and that made things even nicer. Corie would have liked someone to go to the beach with her, but the rest of us aren't really into that, unfortunately. Read More >> Related Forum Posts >> |

| September 5, 2007The kids are back in school, but it’s a bit weird for me. This is my first

| March 21, 2007I’m certainly looking forward to some spring weather…I wonder if it will
ever get here? It certainly seems spring-like with the extra sunlight in
the evening. And even the car is pretty warm from the sun in the
afternoons. Today I even opened my sunroof for a bit when I had my Wed.
