Just a quick post to talk about how truly AMAZED I am at how many site owners just don’t get it when it comes to converting visitors, yet they really seem to get SEO.

They understand that it takes great content to get noticed. They understand that they must get the word out about their great content in order to get other quality, relevant sites to link to theirs. They understand on-page optimization and site architecture/internal link structure. They even know about varying inbound link anchor text and formulating deep linking strategies for best results. And, eventually, the savvy site owners achieve the top organic spots in the engines.

Wow, that was a long blog vacation. Almost four months without one single post…to be honest I needed a break but really missed this blog. I still managed to blog in my other niche blog circles during the break, but here my thoughts never made it past draft status. That will now change.

Time to dust off the blog, update some links, and I’m even working on a complete re-design (because this barely customized WP 1.5 theme just isn’t cutting it). Stay tuned for some actual posting soon…

I took a much needed vacation to the Cayman Islands about a month ago, and just now got around to checking out some of the pics that we took while we were there. It looks like a lot of them didn’t turn out very well due to our sub-amateur (is that even a word?) camera skills.

Hurricane Ernesto made it “interesting” for us to say the least, but we still had a great time.

If you’re not sure where Grand Cayman Island is, don’t feel bad because I didn’t either until this trip.

Although I don’t read it as much as I used to, Slashdot is a true powerhouse of content and traffic (not to mention one of the most established tech sites out there). A long-time friend of mine (who just happens to be a programmer) sent me a blog post about Slashdot from a few days ago, thinking I might enjoy it. He was right.

A few days ago Aaron Wall and Andy Hagans released one of the greatest examples of linkbait I’ve seen yet. The content is extremely useful and thought provoking, but that’s typical of good linkbait. This post is different: you just can’t help but link to it (and no, it’s not the fact that they outright ask for links in the article).

Pretty funny, especially the post about finding keywords.

I’ve been MIA for about a month now. It’s not that I haven’t had plenty to write about or don’t enjoy blogging, it’s just been a time management issue. Obviously this blog doesn’t generate any revenue for me, so it’s definitely at the bottom of the list when things are hectic.
