Next Tuesday and Wednesday I will be attending SMX Advanced in Seattle.
I really like the way the changed some things up, this year they have some additional workshops that if you just get an expo pass (free until day of show) that you can attend.
Here is a list of those tracks:
Tuesday
Jane and Robots Presents: SEO Overview for Developers
Google Presents: Dive Deep into the new AdWords interface
Facebook Ads: Reaching Prospects Earlier In The Decision Cycle
Wednesday
Live Search? Kumo?? The Next Generation of Search from Microsoft
(Which I guess now will be all about Bing!)
Omniture Presents: How to Incorporate Deeper Metrics and Optimization Technologies into Your SEM Efforts Using Omniture’s Online Marketing Suite
Believe it or not these tracks really interest me and that is why I just got the expo pass only. Also Goolge, MSN, Ask.com, and Facebook, (plus others) will all have booths there and those are the ones I am most interested in speaking to one on one.
If you’re going hit me up on Twitter or leave a comment here and we can get together.
See ya there!
This Memorial Day Weekend We headed to our cabin on Harstine Island and being that I wasn’t in my usual surroundings for a few days I really thought I was going to have a rough time, but I think I did pretty well.
This week’s weight loss was half of what I have been losing on average, but I’m still happy with the results.
Starting Weight: 251 Pounds
Last Week’s Weight: 245
Today’s Weight: 243.5 Pounds
Lost: 1.5 Pounds
Total Lost: 7.5 Pounds
A lot of people forget about what this day is truly about. Most think it’s another day off, a long weekend, the start of camping season. Remember Memorial Day is to commemorate the brave U.S. men and women who died while in the military service.
Memorial Day formerly was observed on May 30. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) advocate returning to this fixed date, although the significance of the date is tenuous. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address:
“Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day”
I completely agree!
If you see someone in uniform or know someone that served, thank them, because without them we would not have the freedom nor the ability to do the things we do today for granted.
I thank them those who have fought and died for us and I hope you take some time to do the same.
Here are some pictures I took last year at Mt. Tahoma National Cemetery last year up on Flickr.
Oh Mom! Manicotti? Really?
This week has been a little rough, but I did alright.
We had a lot going on this week, on Friday I had to a new shed down to our cabin, on Saturday I was at the Meetup202 Seattle, on Sunday I was at my mom’s house, helping her pull out some old roots and some rhododendrons out of her yard. For lunch she made my favorite meal ever, manicotti! She didn’t know that I was on a diet and trying to lose weight; I did eat a couple and then went back out to work in her yard doing other things just to work off what I just ate.
So as you can see, it was a very busy week, although I didn’t exercise, besides the normal walking, with my diet I did lose some weight.
Starting weight: 251 Pounds
Last Week’s Weight: 248
Today’s weight: 245 Pounds
Lost: 3 Pounds
Total Lost: 6 Pounds
My business partner and I are looking for beta testers for our new affiliate poll software, this software will allow you to create several poll styling landing pages within minutes, not hours.
We built our software from the ground up and added what we wanted, as affiliate marketers we know what you would want in a program, like the ability to add Tracking202 codes and/or Google Analytics to each and every poll page, without touching a piece of code, add multiple offers for each answer, ability to copy polls, and much more.
For you honest feedback you will receive a copy of the full version when released along with lifetime upgrades. To become a beta tester we will also require you to sign a NDA (Non-Disclosure agreement) before receiving a beta copy.
If you are interested in beta testing please contact me and let me know that you would be interested.
