5/20/2009 A note to all new and learning online marketers, I have been reading SEO & PPC resources, blogs and forums for much longer then I have been contributing to them. In fact, it is only in the last year, and more seriously in the last 6 months, that I have spent any real time in the online SEO communities. So I don't know how some who have been around for much longer have managed to stick around without killing someone. No wonder Darren sometimes comes across as cranky!
3/30/2009 I have seen a few comments around and about lately stating that there is no point starting a blog unless you have something to new/interesting to contribute, and that the SEO blog "market" is saturated with blogs, making it pointless for new SEO bloggers to start.
2/17/2009 I am so sick of hearing about using social networking sites to boost SERPs. Every time someone suggests this, I feel like banging my head against a wall. Not only does it go completely against the spirit of these sites, it is probably one of the hardest things to do successfully, and without alienating an entire community in the process.
12/5/2008 It's a long time since I used the content network. I've always thought that it is a bit of a waste of time. All those impressions, no conversions -- it hardly seemed worth the effort. I have been reconsidering my stance of late though. The problem is that I have been viewing it as a paid search platform, but perhaps that's not really where it sits. Perhaps what it really wants to be is an affiliate platform.
10/22/2008 Reading the recent post on the nature of online communities got me thinking about my favourite online community, Ravelry. This is one of the largest niche communities I have ever come across, with it fast approaching 200,000 members all talking about....knitting!
