digg_url = ‘http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Cast_your_vote_for_MarketingMeme_a_new_techmeme_sibling_site’;Do you feel, like I do, that us SEO/SEM/PR folk are getting our stuff lost in the tech “noise” over at TechMeme?
It’s not in my interests to say this, because I’d be happy to see some nice ongoing volume of inbound links from SEM Search, but honestly, I’d really like to see Gabe [...]
Introducing… the Search Engine Marketing Search Engine!
10 January 2007 – 3:47 pm
digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/tech_news/Google_powered_SEO_Search_Engine’;Like many of us in the SEO/SEM/SMO game, I thought it was great when Lee Odden of TopRank recently released his OPML file of SEM blogs to the public. Yeah sure, I had a lot of the same feeds already, but the point was it really helped to round out the list of [...]

An audio “problem” with a US news story over at Channel 7 made for interesting listening for a few moments. They’re calling it divine intervention!. You can make up your own mind…

If you’re at the local Kinko’s and your midlife crisis hits… just go with it…

The song must have been really special to this guy in his teenage years. For a few brief moments, he was completely back there, enjoying the moment all over again….

I think this is what’s called making the most of the moment. Boo-yeah!

I love really smart CSS and am always on the lookout for a better way to do things. To that end I just love checking out the latest additions to CSS Zen Garden. This is a site that shows how amazingly you can take exactly the same HTML and create a completely different [...]
My dog ate my glasses.

She did. I left them on my bed and she ate them. The lenses are no longer connected to the frame and they’ve got big teeth marks in them. The frame has bits bitten off the ends of the arms and is nothing like the shape it should be.

Reflecting on Saddam Hussein, the man.
1 January 2007 – 7:40 pm
We fear those we don’t know and we demonise those who threaten us.
Surfing around I came across this rather sweetly-toned piece, about the male nurse charged with caring for Saddam in captivity. An American fella who seems to be a good genuine guy. And it caused me to think again the thoughts I have been [...]

I am SEO-ing my site for “blog consultant“, so I am regularly checking the progress of that on Google and others, but I also do the occasional vanity search for “alister cameron“, and I noticed today that 9 out of the 10 first-page entries on Google.com are related to me Of course, my name [...]
