Great when people ask…

SEOidiot — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:51:18 +0000

Rob over at InverseSEO pinged me an email to ask if he could use elements of my design on his redesign.

I dont know if it was the comments I have in my stylesheet or just that hes a nice chap… anyway the new design he created looks great – much better than mine anyway.

Interesting Ad Placement

SEOidiot — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:30:06 +0000

Just a quick one, spotted this site from a tweet by @seanfee80 promoting his excellent Vidschool site.

Really interesting ad format and placement, normally I would suggest that adverts need to be in an obvious place and that they are one of the most obvious and enticing things on the page to click on the page. These ads break that final rule but I still think they look like an effective ad placement and implementation to me.

Why you shouldn’t believe what people tell you about their earnings Its a tried and tested rule that Adult traffic is...

#thinkvisibility was great

SEOidiot — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:23:50 +0000

Spent the last weekend at the fantastic Thinkvisibility conference. It was great to catch up with a few people and great to meet some more new friends.

As a conference I think @thehodge has got it just about right, its a great mix of the social and the useful. Not too big an event and enough time and opportunity to meet nearly everyone.

Some people I met: -

Yoast
Name checked me as the guy who drew his avatar for him, resulting in everyone turning round and looking at me even though I was hungover enough to chuck my guts up at any second.

Photo from Caius

Great presentation as ever though and id like to thank Yoast for the cufflinks he brought me.

Jay Butler
Great to catch up, now permanently fixed as my Rum and Wasabi partner

Judith Lewis
Great to catch up with Judith and she delivered a very polished presentation as ever.

AlCarlton
Creator of the awesome Conference Calendar as well as a bunch of other sites. I like Al, he fits with my long history of having and being friends with people who enjoy an ‘adventure’

Chris Garrett
Finally got to chat

Bony Toad
Stephen is a great chap, always has been. He actually made me snort when, sat next to me, he posted this twitpic

Kieron Donoghue
Great to meet at last, keep up the good work with Share my playlists and keep on nagging me to stop tweeting whilst we drink.

Tim Nash – A great session on profiling (Which I am doing a separate post on Tim and thats why I havent written this bit until now sigh )
Hobo Seo – great to chat Shaun
Mr Scott Jones and Ian – probably as drunk as I was
Anthony from Bronco
And Lindop – as ever good to see you mate

Everyone else I have forgotten as im an Idiot

And of course Dom and Mrs Dom (soon enough) for putting on a great conference.

Initial ranking as a sign of site trust

SEOidiot — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:28:27 +0000

Many SEO tasks start for me with a test of initial ranking as a sign of trust across a number of sites. Granted discovery time plays a role here but we can dampen that out to some degree.

The debut of a site for a given phrase like “initial ranking as a sign of site trust” is a great indicator of its relative position in terms of trust as is its movement in the following days or its movement after the application of a link or two…

Mike of Freshbooks – a class act

SEOidiot — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:04:35 +0000

When Freshbooks said they were being featured in Entrepreneur magazine they offered to send any customer a copy, mine arrived today.

Tucked in the page where their write up is was Mike’s business card and a hand written post-it saying thanks.

Classy work Freshbooks

Changes to the way I post

SEOidiot — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:53:26 +0000

So if you are a reader of my blog or a follower on Twitter – first off, Why ?? I never understand but once in a while I suppose there is a good post or two and its always nice to keep up with what a friend is up to.

Twitter is great for that and I am as addicted as I have always been to it but sometimes you need to offer multiple ways for people to keep in touch. Posterous, Facebook, My own blog, Twitter – they all reach different people.

So from now on ill be posting in all these places with a mix of my day to day and occasionally something useful I hope.

Paul
