I just wanted to let folks know that I’m part of the Clear Hero’s program. The good folks at Clear have sent me (for at least the next 6 months) a Clear 4G Hotspot Device. So, if you see me around Portland (especially at the SEMpdx event on June 14th), or at SMX Advanced next week, I’ll be able to hook you up with 4G so long as you remain in my vicinity. Just ask me for my Wifi Password…
I’m honored to be included with the other fine Clear Hero’s and hope to prove worthy of my role :.)
With a title like this, you might expect some serious, philosophical post…however, if you carry such expectations, you will be disappointed :.)
I work at home and the view from my window looks out the front of my house and onto the street, which means that I see all deliverymen & workmen as they drive up to my house. Frequently, if my wife isn’t home, I’m the person who has to walk downstairs to sign for a package or let a workman into the house. Generally, no big deal…I walk downstairs once I see the vehicle stop in front of the house and open the door for them as the same time as they exit their vehicle.
So here’s a good trick to play on somebody (note that you’ll need access to the “victim’s computer” in order for this to work)
First, you need to create an AdWords Campaign. It’s not important what you are advertising or how you are advertising it for reasons that will become clear later. However, I’d make your campaign really obscure so that strangers won’t find your ads and also become targets of your efforts.

Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma’s hands
Played a tambourine so well

Used to issue out a warning …” Bill Withers
I reckon that personal blogs are for telling personal stories. Until now, I haven’t really done that…but I figure this is as good a time as any to share something…
So, I was the last person to see my Grandma alive.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve accepted a new position. I am now a Senior Account Manager at PPC Associates where I will be helping business achieve maximum ROI from their PPC spend. Thanks to David Rodnitzky, Will Lin, Sean Marshall, and the rest of the crew for welcoming me to the fold. Though their office is based in San Mateo, I will work out of my home office in Beaverton.
It’s not news that the Sacramento Kings were talking about relocating their franchise, with Anaheim being their primary destination. If the team moved, the safest assumption would be that they would then be called the “Anaheim Kings” but for the fact that there is a Los Angeles Kings hockey team just up the road might cause a bit of confusion for the marketplace. So, what might the franchise be called after relocation?
For my next moneymaking venture, I think I’m going to write an e-book about how to make money online.
I will then upload it to my website and attempt to monetize it by driving targeted traffic to the sales page and convert those visitors into sales.
When people buy the e-book and read if for the first time, I will suggest to them that they should write an e-book about how to make money online.
They should then upload their e-book to their website and attempt to monetize it by driving targeted traffic to the sales page and convert those visitors into sales.
Most search marketers are aware of the awesome power of social media as a check upon predatory behavior (for any and all stupid acts tend to be presented to the entire community for comment / censure/ ridicule). However, there are a few members of the community that are too thick-headed to realize that community wrath can become a very personal problem if they act inappropriately.
One of my social media friends is Mike Halvorsen, who does search engine optimization in Columbus Ohio. He has earned a top Google ranking for the search terms “SEO Columbus”, a very relevant generic search phrase for his professional services.
“You’ve got nothing to hear
I’ve got nothing to say…” The Who
Folks who have hung out with me for any period of time know that I’m not the most verbal person around. I’m quite comfortable with saying very little in a group setting and when I do speak, I’m very succinct as if I were being charged for each word used. It’s not that I’m against conversation…I’m just wired to listen much more than talk. And, while I’m totally comfortable working a networking event and chatting with total strangers, doing so tires me out just as much (if not more so) than the most vigorous workout that I might ever do at the gym.
So, last week when I logged into my Gmail Account, I noticed the following:
I was concerned but my first thought was that this alert was triggered by one of the Twitter apps that I used to “beef up” my number of social connections. Anyway, I immediately changed my Gmail Password but thought nothing more of the problem until I saw the following in my email:
Then, I realized I had a problem.
I’m absolutely sure that I didn’t do anything obviously stupid to get myself hacked. However, here is what I think happened:
