			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John Dvorak writes all the time and proclaims his ignorance proudly &#8211; this tho is perhaps <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2340694,00.asp">one of the most ignorant articles</a> in regards to SEO I have also read in quite a while (<em>thanks Aaron Wall!</em>).</p>
<p>John writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>Search engine optimization (SEO) has turned into a big business, and from what I can tell it&#8217;s the modern version of snake oil. The unproven nonsense spewed by so-called &#8220;SEO experts&#8221; simply doesn&#8217;t work. And worse, it&#8217;s screwing up the elegance of the Web.</p></blockquote>
<p>Aaron Wall &#8217;s rebuttal:</p>
<blockquote><p>Unlike John Dvorak, professional SEOs do not need to lie and pull sleazy tricks to get &#8220;hits&#8221;&#8230; we rank for high value keywords and turn that traffic stream into real business. His publishing strategy is so inauthentic and cheesy that he writes by number.</p></blockquote>
<p>And now the video!<br />
<object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/SAWDYaWAVQQ&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SAWDYaWAVQQ&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>This guy Dvorak doesn&#8217;t have a clue &#8211; friggin foolio, I would love to debate his view on SEO &#8211; jimminy crickets.</p>

Last night, The Richter Scales brought down the house at <a href="http://crunchies2008.techcrunch.com/">The Crunchies</a> for the second year in a row with a brand new song. The song depicts a hilariously overoptimistic startup and pokes fun at just about everything in the tech industry, from overhyped launches to ridiculous product ideas (I especially love GramZone, the nursing home in the cloud). Check it out below (make sure you have your volume turned up).</p>

All I can say is it&#8217;s happening NOW, and I already have 2 pages of notes on action items for when I leave tomorrow!</p>
<p>Seriously, this is such a amazing conference &#8211; I have had a total blast and we are only 1/2 way through the first day sessions.  If you ever get the chance, I highly suggest you get yourself to a future Elite Retreat.</p>
<p>Like I said, I&#8217;m under an NDA and can&#8217;t say much&#8230;but here&#8217;s a taste of the great speakers we&#8217;ve been privy to today:<br />
<a href="http://ma.tt"><strong>Matt Mullenweg</strong></a> &#8211; Keynote Speaker (<a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> fame)<br />
<strong>Jeremy Shoemaker</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/">ShoeMoney.com</a><br />
<strong>Andy Liu</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/">Buddytv.com</a><br />
<strong>Neil Patel</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.pronetadvertising.com">Pronet Advertising</a></p>

My employer was nice enough to let me attend <a href="http://searchmarketingexpo.com/west/" target="_blank">SMX West in Santa Clara</a> over this past week to further my SEM education (sweet!). It was such a blast &#8211; seriously I had a great time, the sessions were great, people fantastic, and location was easy to navigate. <a href="http://daggle.com/" target="_blank">Danny Sullivan</a> was awesome, I talked to <a href="http://shoemoney.com">Shoemoney.com</a> at the <a href="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-grove-coming-to-smx-west/6328/" target="_blank">Google Groove Party</a>, and also chatted with <a href="http://www.pronetadvertising.com/" target="_blank">Neil Patel</a> as well. Honestly it was a great event &#8211; I&#8217;m super happy Danny left Jupiter/Incisive and started <a href="http://searchmarketingexpo.com/" target="_blank">SMX</a> and wanted to personally give him a shout out (great guy, and so knowledgeable!).</p>
<p>Again, very glad that I was able to attend and learn a ton about SEM at the same time. <a href="http://searchmarketingexpo.com" target="_blank">SMX</a> truly is a evolution from <a href="http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/" target="_blank">SES</a> and 2008 might be the year I DON&#8217;T attend a SES in over 5+ years! WOW!</p>

I have spent a LONG time building this application with my Patner Kyle, but never attended an event with this many SEM/Affiliate heavyweights. To say I am a bit &#8216;nervous&#8217; is a understatement &#8211; the good kind.</p>
<p>Honestly, I really look forward to the opportunity to show the application off and also get feedback from Industry peers that I follow and look up to.</p>
<p>Also wanted to give a shout out to <a href="http://shoemoney.com" target="_blank">Shoe</a>, <a href="http://www.pronetadvertising.com/" target="_blank">Neil</a>, Tigh and all the folks at <a href="http://www.eliteretreat.info/" target="_blank">Elite Retreat</a> who are making the event happen &#8211; kudos and thanks.</p>
