Here is a rough running list of what I’ve learned during my second year of “Search“. Maybe I’ll clean this list up, maybe I won’t. What I’d like to do is expand on these bullet points over time.

The guys over at SEOBlackHat are putting together a great event. Sounds like it would be a great time. I know at this point of my career, I don’t have the chops to hang with these guys. Maybe I’ll be able to catch SEOktoberfest 2009.

Looking back at my SEO career so far, I’ve come to realize a few things.
The first year was go, go, go, learn, learn, learn. I had to re-learn html, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and on top of all that, learn this “crazy new concept” of SEO. I can say, without reservation, during my first year I put in more 14 to 16 hour days working on something that was nothing but fun. I would eat, sleep, and dream SEO. There’s nothing scarier than when you catch yourself dreaming in code.

So I wrote a post earlier today about Rhonda’s compelling title. Again, it was compelling from a marketing standpoint because I’m a cynical person and I still clicked on it. Anyways, I had a comment from Alan (I am always happy for constructive, well written comments) and then I started to wonder, “how did Alan find my post”.
So I bounced over to Rain City Guide and hit cntrl+f and typed in my department… There I was at comment #23. I had forgotten to disable the “pingback” on my blog settings. So there was my annoying little snippet from my post in the comments section.
So I have subsequently disabled my pingbacks and extend a humble apology to the folks at RCG because I would find that annoying. Hey, I used the word subsequently twice today. Maybe I should try out for “Are you smarter than a fifth grader”.
