If My Name Tag Could Only Talk (The Ten Second Meme)
Would I jump in your lap, sweep you off the floor with my silly giggles or would you take one look at me and think, “Dear God. Put her back in the spaceship”. I’m not attending the Blogher conference. Nor SES Travel Seattle, which is also this week. But, if I had money to blow, a wife at home, another me to do my work and did a better job planning ahead, I’d so totally be at both. Blogher has this thing going on…You in Ten Seconds. Hello. My name tag says...
Read MoreSEO’s Imagine Marketing Life Without Search Engines
The rumors that “SEO is Dead” prompted Jake Lowrey of OffSiteOptimization to interview SEO’s about life without search engines and the future of search marketing. The series starts off with answers to his questions from me, an SEO escape artist. No Search Engines? Kim Krause Berg Says, ‘Go Local’ delves into my take on the topic. Here’s a quick snippet from the article: “Over the next year or two Kim would like to see the industry strive for more...
Read MoreWhy We Need to Make Changes to Our Websites: Kim Krause Berg Interview
Once again, I was spotted and nabbed for a quick video interview by Webpronews’s Mike McDonald. Mike says he doesn’t watch himself on film; sorta like how actors love to do the work but refuse to view the final product. I can so relate to this. Ours was the first interview in the morning of the last day of Search Engine Strategies NYC held in April 2007. I look tired and it may be time to re-tell my famous “breasts on the bathroom scale” story again. Or, just listen...
Read MoreMy Meme Made Me
Meme’s that involve tagging remind me of gym class. If you weren’t picked early for a team, it was embarrassing. If you were one of the persons left still standing that nobody wanted, it feels awful. I was chosen by the awesome Dazzlin’ Donna and am proud to be on her team. I throw like a girl, though. Sorry ’bout that. Five Reasons Why I Blog 1. I started this blog in 2002, to cover SEO news. It’s evolved over time to whatever it is now. Other sites handle just...

I’m back! The surgery for a torn meniscus on my left knee on Monday went very well. I’m not in any pain (unless I do something dumb like make the knee do something it’s not ready for yet.) Recovery has been annoying only due to the side effects of medications, but on the other hand, my dreamstate has been awesome. Once I dreamt I was running with a large wolf. Eric says that must have some symbolic meaning to it. I didn’t dream during surgery. The last thing I heard...

This is my last post for an uncertain period of time. I wasn’t sure when to do it, but this week is just nuts so while I’m thinking of it, here’s what’s happening. I’m going in for surgery on Monday, February 19, to repair a torn meniscus in my left knee. Over the past two years I learned I have arthritis in my lower back and knees, on top of Hashimoto’s auto immune disease. This just means my thyroid no longer functions without medicine and pain...
Read MoreWhy I Celebrate Website Mistakes
I met a lovely reader today, who responded to seeing my blog post yesterday on accessbility. I wrote about the topic not as expert, but as a student. It’s a role I’m more comfortable with. He showed me a project he’s passionate about. It’s a website built for visually impaired and the blind, either using a web browser reader or a braille setup. I could learn from it I wanted to. But mostly, it mattered more to me that he could sense I’d like to see it. Such a...
Read MoreKim Krause Berg Video Interview with Mike
Finally. Proof that I’m scared to death of a camera, but not Mike McDonald from Webpronews. At long last, my 10 minutes of video fame has arrived. To hear me talk about usability, at SES Chicago in December, see On Aesthetics and Usability in Design.  Discussion and feedback here. The Internet is a tangle of opinions on such issues. Even “standards†seem to suffer from differences. Fortunately, there are those whom have traversed multiple mediums and can speak to these...
Read MoreStill a “B” Student Blogger
I saw this last week and neglected to comment on it. It’s one of those A-list ego things that I hate because it reminds me that I’m not Rand Fishkin. According to Kineda, “Are You an A-List Blogger?, I am not. I am a “B”. But, in an A-List kind of world, almost isn’t good enough. Trying to cheer myself up, I said to my husband, “I know my stats. I’m close. But at least I’m a B.” He replies, “It’s not an...
Read MoreA Collection of Interviews with SEO’s (and One Not)
Randall McCarley doesn’t let a hurricane (Katrina), or a new baby (born last week), slow him down. The site owner of 14th Colony Web Development and Promotion, Rand has been on a quiet mission to get inside the minds and stories of a variety of people who help make up the search engine marketing industry. And, it’s not just SEO’s he was after. He also interviewed me, the usability/holistic SEO rebel. His questions were thoughtful. If he needed something clarified, he’d...
