Intuit Web Site Setup Service Misleading
I would like to thank Intuit for their hard work in bringing me new clients. It came as quite a surprise that you support my web site usability and SEO services. Imagine my surprise when I flipped on the boob tube for several minutes while making tea from the comfort of my (very busy!) home office and there you were, all professional sounding like, with your (dare I say it?) sly and devious commercial to small biz web site owner hopefuls. For the mere fee of $4.99 (or some such pittance),...
Read MoreMs. Dewey Search Lives On
Every once in awhile I long for the days when my sassy female search idol, Ms. Dewey, would tap on my monitor asking where where I was. Today was one of those days. If you remember, Ms. Dewey as a viral marketing campaign started by Microsoft 3 years ago this month. The site was an experimental interface for Live Search. It didn’t take searchers long to discover you could prompt her to say and do naughty, silly things with certain keyword searches. Looking to see if there are any...

I have rather shocking news to report. The loverly search engine sexy ex-porn star, MsDewey, has gone on to Search Engine Heaven (or is on vacation with some half-naked SEO’s feeding her grapes?) I shall miss you. MsDewey Speaks Her Mind and Dances For My Husband Ms. Dewey Meets the Geico Cavemen Ms Dewey Charges Into SES Keynote Discussion In her traditionally wacky, I’ll-dance-naked-on-the- bar-for-you kind of way, she teases Steve by saying, “You look really leadery.” He...

Read MoreWebpronews Interview With Bill Slawski and Kim Krause Berg
Hot off our tour of Google, Mike McDonald of Webpronews caught up with Bill and I to essentially shoot the breeze about the conference.

Read MoreFirst Generation SEO’s Still Kicking Butt
Back in the 1990′s BC, before Web 2.0, search engine marketing, social media marketing and RSS feed worship, there were some folks like myself messing around with source code fully intent on outsmarting search algorithms. The tools we used then were crude and required a little elbow grease. There were these insane moments when I’d be in a meeting, being congratulated for making the client’s site rank so well, and all that was missing were the nearly naked male attendants...

The small group of search marketers, plus one usability imposter person, who gathered in King of Prussia, PA last week has proof they did, in fact, take over a section of the bar at Bennigans.
