I’ve been playing around with a number of themes on the new blog site – I want to have it up and ready before I do the big switch – and it seems like Thesis wins out. I’m one of the cheaper people out there, so for me to plunk down $87 for a theme […]
If SEO is part of your life and you missed Rand Fishkin’s session at SMX Advanced a few weeks ago, you now have their must read Updated SEO Policies Based on Correlation Data (where Rand says the comments section is now also filled with important info) and a video where Rand essentially interviews one of […]
I did it. I made the decision to move my blog to my own website instead of writing on WordPress’ site. It was a hard decision to make, but I knew that I had to do it eventually, and now is as good a time as ever. I wasn’t able to get the domain name […]

I talked about that in an early post called “Managing Multiple Twitter Accounts.” I have recently been put in charge of my company’s corporate account (@AnswerDotCom.) This is a short term project for me. I just need to set things up and then I will […]
This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I wish that there was a booklet that explained Twitter etiquette. That would make my life a lot easier. I tweet a lot. I retweet (RT) a lot. I really appreciate when people RT what I have to say. It means that they found […]
SMX Advanced was fantastic. Here’s the best of the best … Best lines: Christine Churchill: “Anybody in this room not on Twitter? One person? Wow, let’s all applaud the last holdout.” Matt Cutts when asked “how do I know if I’m getting penalized?” : “If you disappear from Google. That’s what we call a leading […]
