Second part of the seminar was to cover "advanced" adwords topics. Problem was that the morning seminar ran long, so we spent an hour of the afternoon session on that. It showed that some of the subjects were rushed through during the second session. Brad had to pick what topics to stay on point with and which ones to gloss over, I was willing to stay late to cover everything, but no everyone

Just got down with the Intermediate Session of the Google Sponsored Adwords Seminar in Chicago led by Brad Geddes.I have been doing Adwords for around 3 years so a lot of what was covered in the intermediate session was a bit basic, but the crowd seems to be mostly do it yourselfer Adword people and a few agency types. I was kind of surprised some of the basic questions that were coming from

So I wrote previously about a client offer that I was on the fence about taking. Well I ended up taking it. I am going beyond just SEO work and doing a full e-commerce site from the ground up. I have done this in the past in house for two companies (both selling over 2.5M in sales with me as the sole inhouse sEO/website resource) but I dont really enjoy doing it. I did it mostly because I

I got a fast response from the company that makes my sons walk around station. They were very quick to send out a replacement part and it is currently on its way. I again heartily recommend this station for those with kids in the right age range.

As I was working tonight my son was in his "Around We Go" playset and I noticed it looked like it was sagging lower then normal. As you can see there is a clear crack that has developed in the product. I am devestated by this because my son LOVES this thing. It is one of the best things I ever bought him and he hangs out in there for hours happily playing while I work. I have sent a notice

In a move that has left many a jaw open Danny Sullivan will be leaving SEW to pursue other interests. This is a major blow to the SEW brand and even worse it is VERY public. I don't know Inverse media from a hole in the ground, but I know Danny Sullivans name very well. Inverse Media wasn't linked to by hundreds of blogs/websites for their groundbreaking interviews with major industry players,

I wonder if this will be implemented on all versions of Live Messenger even here in the states. I think it is good, but there still needs to be parental intervention, how many kids will actually use the button? My greatest fear is one my daughter is old enough to get her own IM accounts. I am lucky I have a tech background so I know there are monitoring tools available to help keep her safe.

You knew someone was going to have to take the fall after the data was released into the wild. Kind of suprised that it went as high as the CTO, but AOL needed to make a very strong statement as it has incredible image issues at the moment. AOL always has had an image issue with the tech community as its users being novice, but this kind of image problem is with the novice user themselves. How

Seeing that I only do consulting more on the side now that my own projects have taken a priority and I am inhouse for a E-Commerce company I am wondering what to do with a specific client. The client initally had me do some competitive research and analysis for one of thier rivals for a lawsuit. Also I was going to do work on thier site but that has taken a back burner for the legal action.

Google has decided finally that it is time to actually pay attention to its video product and it is doing it at the expense of its shopping engine that it never really developed. Froogle has been a source of sales for some of the clients I have worked with but with this new move I wonder if it will continue to be as lucrative.

SEO Blackhat put up a tool using the released AOL data and a few other sources to show you the level of clicks you can expect in a given position for a term. Nice to see people putting the data to good use and going public with tools instead of keeping it to themselves.

In a post over on Soldiers For The Truth David DeBatto talks more in depth about the cultural shift of the recruiting problem. I touched on the fact that I don't think the youth of today understand or feel the need to pay back the country that gives them their freedoms, but I didn't even talk about the fact that most of their parents would be the cause for this.

After following a link from Michelle Malkin I saw the article at the Chicago Tribune on Sen. Durbin's comments and the outrage that has been caused by it.As Michele mentioned the piece turned into a fluff work about how great Sen.

That we are willing to fund any number of "social" programs for people who won't even make an effort to provide for themselves, we will cut funding for veterans that have served our country honestly.

Clif from Outside The Tent stopped by to comment on the Nick issue and he is correct, while slavery was one of the issues, it was not the only one. That was the context of my post and what I sent in to Nick. I am fine with the true history of anything coming out, I didnt say that slavery wasnt part of it, I just said it wasn't the only issue.

In talking to the young people of today, this doesnt suprise me at all. The fact that the mainstream media and others constantly paint the US as the wrongdoer and only report the worst possible news coming out of the conflict areas will continue to encourage this trend. When I signed up for the US Army back in 1990 it was before Iraq invaded for the first time. I shipped off to basic training
