SEO Consulting - Search and Social Media Marketing | Business Consultant

If you're new here, you may want to learn more about me, introduce yourself or check out my best posts. Thanks for visiting!

This started with a little list of things I thought had changed between 2005 and 2006 and turned into a large list of brainstormed ideas of things to keep in mind for the upcoming year. The first 30 I tried to compare the evolution somewhat. The rest didn’t quite fit anything, and the whole thing turned out a bit random, but ended with the nice round number of 40. Not so much predictions, as simply things I will think will be more important and/or prevelant in the world of search engine optimization and internet marketing.

I owe a big thanks to Search Engine Journal - the source for fair and balanced SEO News, and all the wonderful folks who gave me favorable votes in the SEO blog contest. I’m honored and humbled to have been mentioned among such a fine bunch of my industry peers. Thanks to those who participated and nominated my site. My apologies for being such a procrastinator.

I haven’t seen too many (any?) sites from 2005 in the wayback machine until today, and I do tend to check it quite often.

This must be a question every blogger asks themselves in their blog lifetime. If I just dropped seemingly sagely one liners and a link from time to time, would that be more valuable than long-winded articles? Would I get called out if I was wrong? Would I get more links to what I posted if I WAS wrong?

I went wild on Amazon for future reading. In deference to GrayWolf’s post on his library and because I’m excited about havin’ a bunch of new books, I thought I’d post my new found future reading list. I like to build nice long lists on recommendations that I receive from people who I respect. It keeps me away from reading only what I’d like (which I still do as well), and allows me to maintain a fresh perpspective (so thanks to anyone who recommended a book on the list).
