Warmest Greetings,

:: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 ::

If you search the 'Net using Google a zillion times a day, and need to keep track of your excessive searching for some reason, Google offers Google Frequent Searches

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to High Search Engine Ranking's Kalena Jordan, who writes the Search Engine News Blog
A day off is always a good thing!

Earn money with your brains >>> Trivial Pursuit online offers online games, and monetary prizes. We don't do that in MY house. (Offer money, that is.)

Have camera. Love town. Own blog. Brooklynkid.com is fun to look at it, even if you're not from NYC. Think anyone wants to see pics of my puppy?

FindWhat is just confusing me. Andy Beal digs up more of their dealings >>> Will the Espotting deal with FindWhat collapse?

I just have to have another look at the link.

Don't lie to me.
Contempt of Consumer: It's a Real Crime

Snips:

"More than 12 people a second signed up for the Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call list on its first day. Consumers are voting with their pocketbooks, choosing to visit the retailers that treat them with respect, not avarice."

"We're making those people -- our customers -- angry. In our race to make as much money as possible (as fast as possible), we take time and resources and esteem and careers and use them up as fast as we can. We've lost sight of what it means to treat customers with respect. We also disrespect our shareholders, our employees, and our government -- but it's all part of the same problem."

Just in time for the holiday season. More shopping sites. More search engines to find gifts. Same big names. Amazon.com to Compete With Google's Froogle Comparison Shopping Engine

and

Yahoo! Launches New Comparison Shopping Search Engine

Job priorities. My friends at ABAKUS SEO Blog have discovered there's no "Pub" within 15 miles of Google headquarters. That's because here in the US, we go out to bars (although some places will call themselves a "Pub" just to be creative.)

Try Bars near Mountain View, CA

A list of SEO events can be located quickly on SEMPO's homepage.

No pressure or anything >>> New British Accessibility and Usability Pressure Group Launched - "The British Web Design and Marketing Association (BWDMA) has set up a working group for accessibility and usability. Professionals from both the blind and deaf communities have already joined, and the call has attracted members across the digital economy."

I can't get no. Sat. is. fac. tion. (I loved the DEVO version of that song!) The Relevance of Satisfaction comes from a "Conversion Rate Marketing Newsletter:
Persuading your Prospects to Take Action". Might be something worth your while, eh?

An I try. An I try. An I try try try try try try. (Still singing the DEVO 80's verison of the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction")...

Do you ever have those "If the kids in High School could see me now?" moments? Me neither. But a link from someone who says nice things about your work is up there on my list of "Reasons For Keeping This Crap Up". See Chris Ridings' Chriseo Reviews Blogs. Thanks Chris!

"This report exceeded my expectations. After reading it a few times, I went through and highlighted those parts of your actionable advice that I want to implement right away...

"I have implemented the most obvious changes and I suppose the fact that we've seen an immediate increase in sales/conversions is no coincidence. I'd highly recommend your service to anyone running a serious web based business." -- Steve Clay, Plumeriabay.com
