Love is a Four Letter Word - Jason Mraz

If you are an acoustic musician, singer, songwriter or a dedicated Mraz fan, be sure to check out the new album “Love is a Four Letter Word“. The album is a slight departure from some of the original stuff that he has written and played, but I can still hear the strong acoustic roots in much of the music.

I recently purchased the Deluxe version of the album from iTunes that contains a digital booklet, hidden tracks and several live bonus tracks – it is worth the extra $5 bucks for the live cuts on the deluxe version of the album.

So… head on over to wherever you purchase your music and get the new Mraz album – even if you only find one inspiring track on the album… it will be worth it for you. Jason Mraz is a great musician and songwriter – and is worth checking out.

Irish Friendship Wish

March 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

My wife and I received this from one of our friends last night – I absolutely refuse to forward this stuff via email, but it is worth sharing….

Irish Friendship Wish

May  there always be work  for  your hands to  do;

May  your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each  rain;

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil  knows  you’re  dead.

No, I’m not Irish (not even a little bit)… but like what this one says.

SMX West 2012 Schedule

March 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Nothing like a search marketing conference to ignite your passion again by getting an update on the latest SEO trends practices and getting expert advice from the true search players in the industry.   All of my internal notes are being kept offline for moment – as everybody has their own note-taking style, they can be potentially quite difficult to follow anyway.

For the moment, I’ll list the session tracks that I plan to attend (or attended) and follow up with useful posts later.

SMX 2012 Day 1 – Local & Mobile Track

I stayed on this session track the entire day on day one and was never disappointed – more to follow as I cull my notes and start creating individual posts around each of the sessions and topic material.  Session list follows:

Hardcore Local SEO Tactics – Driving Online & In-Person Traffic

Creating Conversion Friendly Mobile Landing Pages

Solving Problems & Seeing Success in Google Places

Doing Check-ins & Offers Right

SMX 2012 Day 2 – Technical SEO Track

This track wasn’t quite what I expected from some of the session descriptions, but came out of these with really useful information as well. Attended sessions are listed below:

Real Answers For Technical SEO Questions

Schema.org, Rel=Author, & MetaTagging Best Practices

Making Data From Google Webmaster Central & Bing Webmaster Tools Actionable

Duplication, Aggregation, Syndication, Affiliates, Scraping And Information Architecture

 

SMX 2012 – Day 3

Interesting session tracks are Analytics & Tools Meeting, Vertical and various Clinics.  Just about to start the day… will update the post either real-time or as I can throughout the day.

Justifying The Investment:  Analytics For Social Media

What Search Data Reveals About Customer Needs & Desires – And How To Use It

Driving Ecommerce & Retail Sales Through Search Marketing

Ask The Search Engines – Open Q & A Forum

Day three sessions were wonderful just as wonderful as the first part of the week.  As I have time to work back through all of my notes from the sessions, I’ll be posting additional information and details about some of the actionable steps I feel that I’ll actually be able to use for our SEO and Content Strategies at work.
