OMG People Spend 3x More Time On Facebook?

Ben W. — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:51:57 +0000

Mash posted an article on how people are spending 3x more time on facebook than google and acted like that is a big worry. It should not be a huge worry as people go to facebook to socialize not to buy or search. It would be like your local Mall getting upset because people are going to their homes. Eye balls are important but I think someone forgot what metrics are really important when you look at the big picture…... Click Here To Read Full Post

THE Keynote By Gary Vaynerchuk – Must Watch!

Ben W. — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:17:21 +0000

I urge all readers to watch this video of Gary Vaynerchuk who gave the 2009 keynote at the Future Of Web Apps conference in Miami! I strongly agree with a lot of what he says and have been saying it for a long time. One of the most exciting things about the internet right now is that the barrier for entry and creation is getting lower and lower every day, this means that people with passion and drive are going to be dominating more and more! Who survives during an economic downturn? The driven, those who have passion, and those who love what they do. It is a great time to “invest in yourself” and break out on your own. ...

Ben W. — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 00:26:39 +0000

I’m headed to the Parallels Summit 2009 conference in a few days and pretty excited! This is not a SEO conference but rather focused on cloud computing and parallels products. Plus it will be nice to see a lot of web hosting related friends! I did find it interesting that the agenda for server providers has an entire session for search engine optimisation on day 2. I’ll post what I learned after I get back Feb 5th.... Click Here To Read Full Post

My Thoughts On The SEOmoz Expert Training Conference

Ben W. — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 04:41:51 +0000

I just got home from the SEOmoz expert training series and I really enjoyed the conference! I was a tad disappointed with the content as I already knew 99.9% of what they presented but that shouldn’t scare you off as I live and breath SEO and this conference was just part of me making sure my skills were up to snuff. It is hard to know what expert/advanced means in search engine marketing and optimisation and I think this conference would be perfect for an in house SEO or someone who doesn’t have time to read and test everything. I highly recommend this above everything else out there, it was well priced, amazing speakers, and from what I hear great parties/networking!... Click Here To Read Full Post
