Yet again, “Duh!”

I’ve spent the last few hours checking out Twitter.com and once again I’m feeling stupid. The site is an excellent example of pure, simple web 2.0 at it’s best. I know 13 year olds that could code the site given the basic idea and the it’s not like the idea is out of left field. Kudos to the Twitter people for running with an excellent idea and making it work.

A Sleeping Giant Awakens or A Hibernating Bear Briefly Opens an Eye

I haven’t posted on this blog in forever(obviously). Over the last many months I’ve become even more soured on the idea of SEO and annoyed with the tiresome processes involved in trying to get sites to rank. Even so, income from our websites pay the bills so I’ve reluctantly continued chasing the rankings rabbit. My concepts have changes somewhat and I’ve come to the realization that I might not be the kind of guy that gets position 1 for major keywords. If this post isn’t just a passing fancy I’ll discuss these and other thoughts in future posts.

SEO and SEM giant Ken Giddens passes away

For some time now I’ve procrastinated about what the first post on my blog should be about. Sadly, I found out today. I just read a post on Brad Fallon’s blog about the passing of Ken Giddens.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ken in Atlanta at a conference. He was a charming man with a childlike enthusiasm for SEM and SEO. Ken was always convinced that there was a more efficient and effective method just beyond his grasp. He pursued the improved method with joy and vigor. The knowledge that he shared over the course of that weekend stunned me. Not only that one man could have such a unique and effective method, but that he shared that information freely with a smile on his face. As the rest of us, with jaws hanging open, tried to digest the secrets he was revealing, Ken kept rolling out more information seemingly in an attempt to trump himself. There was no one else left to trump.

Ken lived his life by his own rules and truly did beat the system. He will be greatly missed.
