I am now in Canada! This is me on my new patio in Toronto.
The easiest way to get a mention on SEOish is to give me a Tshirt. Sad but true.
For example, when Acquisio gave me one of their now famous “I hate doing this shit” t-shirts, I knew that for damn sure I would be checking them out and giving them some link love. T-shirts are great. You know how after a conference you are hazy and confused after all the drinking, information overload, and meeting 12,000 people?
Well T-shirts serve as absolute reminders of something. They are right there in my bag and I can see them and touch them. I am dumb, I require such simplicity. I don’t want to have to remember a products web page, I want a t-shirt with that address on there.
Now, even if you don’t give me a tshirt, you can still get some SEOish link love. Lisa from SEO Chicks didn’t give me a t-shirt. But she rocks and so does her blog where she has conveniently gathered together all the smart search hotties in one easy to find place. The new addition of some familiar faces over there pleases me to no end.
(Hi Dewitt! Hi Rebecca!)
If anyone wants to give me a tshirt, I will link to them. Pretty simple, no? I am thinking of starting an SEO directory that consists solely of companies that have provided me a t-shirt.
Rhea has a new blog that I wanted to mention, even though she has not provided me with a t-shirt.
Barry Schwartz gets a bubble which is about neato as can be and he also mentions a very very interesting article about how 25 percent of search queries in Google are new and so longtail is super important and search is hard to do… awww poor Google.
Didn’t I already explain this whole thing using midgets and recycling?
SERoundtable wraps up SES Latino is a pretty package, much as they had done with SMX earlier.
MarketingPilgrim continues working on weekends to tell us about the search strategies event in New Zealand. The part that stuck out in my brain is that the event was 40 percent women, which means I will probably be covering this event next time because New Zealand women (Kiwis) often look like this.
Nice link roundup Pat. Thanks for sharing Rhea’s blog, hadn’t seen that, her theme is killer!
Bubble Guru looks cool, saw it on Marketing Pilgrim a couple of days ago and checked it out, neat stuff.
So, by “new porch,” did you mean you are living in Toronto, or that’s your porch for now? Saw that comment about the job offer, thought maybe you took them up on it.
Too bad Hockey is over for the season. Have fun, eh.
Does the T shirt have to be new?
New T-shirts… should have been more specific…
I was just about to send you a used shirt, unwashed, with pit stains and my url scribbled in permanent marker underneath.
Be careful what you wish for.
Hey Kwyjibo, good to hear from you. Thanks for the beer. You are my hero, but so are other people who have bought me beer. It is good to see you so active at SEOmoz, take care
Ummm, I think they preferred to be called little people. Or is it dwarfs. Or maybe dwarves. Hell, I don’t know. That’s why I stick to granny porn.
hey Pat,
You will look so cute in one!
Thanks for the link =) And don’t worry you will get a SEO Chick t-shirt
Pat, thanks for your round-up and for keeping us posted about your cross-country(ies) exploits. And also for visiting Mihmorandum earlier this morning! A T-shirt may be on its way in the fall…
Thanks for wearing our t-shirt on your balcony – in Toronto
You would look much better wearing that same shirt in Montreal.
Thanks for the shout out… now I have to come up with a t-shirt in addition to some actual posts.
Maybe I’ll come up with a creative alternative instead… stay tuned!
