SEO Competition Cancelled

Hmm, I get no pleasure from this, no pleasure at all. As some of the better known contributers to this blog are aware that we run a little SEO competition and score points from ranking positions across Google, Yahoo and MSN for certain keywords.

What if SEO & Search Had Action Figures

We see them everyday, in our RSS feeds, in our daily paths as we seek out our industry news. Those commentators who scoop the headlines or are so engraved in the search engine marketing industry that future babies will bare their name (ok, I took that a little too far but c’mon a build-up is a build-up).

The search terms have also increased but the points determined by the seedings remain the same.

Okay, realising that two thousand and eight has got off to a monumental start for myself but a rocky start for others (think Hired with a big dubya) around the search environment I thought it was time to loosen those belts a little, deflate the chests and roll-in the chin and come up with a little game we can all play.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you Google Clocking …. ta, da.

New Year! New Look! New Mission!

Well, we eventually got the site redesigned. It had been a long time in the making. Its not the finished article because I’m going to go back through that web copy, God knows how many times, before I’m satisfied. Which will probably be never. But its a step forward and that is what this year is all about – stepping forward.
