Believe it or not, the board of SEMpdx has been getting a number of emails asking us where to register for SearchFest 2009, coming up in March. So, I figured I would take a minute to point out the SearchFest registration, as well as the entire SearchFest 2009 agenda, and a link to our sponsors. |

Well, here it is, supposedly, Google Friend Connect in action. I’m not quite sure exactly what it is yet, but I’m in, after signing up a few weeks ago. Are you? Apparently it’s Google’s answer to My Blog Log, which I have in my right sidebar, but it lets users sign in with their Google, Yahoo, AIM or OpenID account. Nice… |

Colleen from Search Engine Academy of Oregon has invited me back to speak again to her class in November, and I’ll be taking her up on it.

Pay per click campaigns can be somewhat tedious to set up, primarily because all the data that you get from the keyword research tools need to be reworked into a more useful list.

Mark this date down in history, because Google is getting really ambitious today. First they rolled out the ability to search future Web content, which is really slick. Although currently its active only in Australia, It will work on all .com domains, including my own, so I was able to easily take care of my blog posts for the next 90 days. |

Here’s what I went through on Christmas Day, just to get songs we legally purchased through Itunes to play on my kids new MP3 players… I will never spend another dollar with Itunes after what I went through. Tell me again why anyone would pay $.99 a song, only to (eventually) figure out that you’re not allowed to listen to them on any device other than an Apple brand music player? |

Although it’s been reported by lots of news outlets and search engine writers, my kids still had not heard that Google has teamed up with Norad this year to help improve it’s Santa tracking using Google Earth. It’s pretty amazing, and you’d better go take a look right now! |
