Stuntdubl Business Search Marketing Consulting

I am a proud - card carrying member of IM-NY, and the group is a gathering of some of my most favorite people on the planet. Mr. GoodROI does a fine job of planning monthly events to entertain this group of wiley search vets. As with last year’s SES party - the boys have outdone themselves. IM-NY and Best of the Web Directory will be holding a Charity Party for SES NYC on Tues. 3/18/08 8PM - Midnight at Black Finn NY 218 East 53rd Street (map). The really great news is ANYONE can go to the party. No elite-edness here (yes, I can’t even speak properly). You will be asked for a $40 donation for all-you-can-drink fun with a bunch of awesome search marketing nerds who love to have a good time (remember this is a charity party you lushes). Here’s more information about the IM-NY / BOTW SES Charity Party. Please help spread the good word - one of these charities will get a nice big fat check. Please tell a few friends, and we look forward to seeing you there. For anyone willing to help as co-sponsors the party, I’ll throw in a few months of free advertising on my site - just drop me a line through my contact form. For the unintiated - this is Search Engine Strategies NYC.

A little Pre SMX West warmup to get your liver (oh and your search questions) ready. You can RSVP on facebook.6PM drinks (and food if you’re hungry) on the rooftop at Medjool if its nice enough out (otherwise inside). I’m planning a little on the early side because it can get packed on Fridays. Medjool: Located at 2524 Mission St, between 21st St and 22nd St. in the Mission District of San Francisco. Valet parking is available, or if you prefer, public parking is available behind us on 21st Street at Bartlett Street.

Found this post in the archives, and thought it was worth tossing up since I’ve been MIA quite a while. BMW was out of the index for less than a week. Colgate has pushed the envelope hard. Wordpress made a boatload of cash on MFA’s and was back in the index in days while the inspiring party, Hot Nacho, is still as Greg Boser, the artist formerly known as WebGrilllllla put it, “buried somewhere in the Nevada desert“. Most large brands MAY suffer up to 40 days through the new index cycle. Why wouldn’t they push the envelope further than the little guys? I have to say it really upsets me when search engines make decisions and claim it is to “help the little mom and pops” when they are discussing things like paid links. We live in an idea economy. The value of a link to search engine rankings is knowledge, and idea. The debate has been made dozens of time, so I won’t add much to that here. I will say, however, that taking that advantage away, is taking away power from the little guys that learned it - not assisting them. Paid links help the little guy OUTSMART the big guys…it does not help big guys who just whip out their wallets and buy every link in site (that’s what ppc is for).
