No time for bloggin'

Oh yeah . . . We're off on one at the moment. I've always had trouble keeping blogs up to date, and I'm not one to spout rubbish for no reason. . .

I'm stuck right in to a massive SEO project, the kind that can have a real impact, and I'm absolutely loving it. We've got a great team, great management behind us and we're really going for it.

At times like this, you have to let some things slip, and sometimes it'd inevitably the blog that has to go.

I'm going to make a concerted effort to get back on to this . . . but remember what those guys at Bruce Clay recently said . . . something along the lines of 'stop wasting time talking about it, just get on and do it!'.

Good Link? Bad Link? . . . Ermmm . . . Good Link!!!

Us search engine folk get so wound up about all this linking business it's a wonder we ever get any work done. I came across a post today by a lady who always speaks a lot of sense and it put it all back into perspective for me. In-fact . . . it's exactly the encouragement I needed after a long day of link research and article promotion.

So, more for me than for you, here's a link to that very post so I can hit the ground running first thing tomorrow:

New Blog - Money Stuff

Just fired up a new finance related blog. I'm not in it for the money (hence no Adsense), just thought it would be fun to see what's going on on the other side of the fence:

Debt SEO Research

Just getting into the UK debt market and having a look at what's going on in the serps. Trying to pin down why a couple of sites in particular aren't doing anything. Think it could be a case of 'too much SEO, not enough natural growth'.

We're looking at about 10 debt related terms in total, a couple of nice little sites. Think we'll be working on the content quite a bit, getting some RSS going and updating the content regularly.

Been checking out Google trends quite a lot, seems there a clear difference between the UK market in that 'debt management' seems to be a lot more popular than 'debt consolidation'. Closely followed by 'debt advice', 'debt help' & 'debt solutions'.

I wonder if this signifies a larger trend in the US to go for a remo rather than tackling the debt head on with a debt management plan?
