Good article Nalts . Three legs good, no legs bad…or something Orwellian like that. Seriously, though, it was a very insightful article which got me thinking.

I’m gonna chew around on it for awhile and see if you get any real comments (besides your regulars, whom you seemed to have bored to tears). Then I’ll come back at ya with something.

One thought keeps nagging away at me, however, and that is that everyone…EVERYONE has put most of their SEM eggs into the SEO (read Google) basket and I can’t help but think that this is incredibly short-sighted. There will come a day, don’t ask me when or how, but search engines as we know them (with all their revolving algorithmic wonder) will be superseded by something else…maybe the social media sites are that thing (and I consider Youtube as belonging widely to that category broadly). Doesn’t matter I suppose, since your strategy encompasses more than just SEO.

Anyhow. I got you “digged/dug” and will be sending the article to some friends of mine in the bizz… (is it just me or do all professional marketing folks –me included – moonlight online?)

I’m like- hey… 15 comments. Maybe I stirred up a debate or got an inbound link from a trade rag. Then I realize people who are interested in this would never comment. And people that are interesting comment about stuff that’s more interesting. Like bulging gymnasts and real drunken sailors.

Speaking of bargains, I used to live in a town that was completely owned by Viacom. I mean EVERYTHING: houses, roads, buildings, utilities, company story, the works. You can probably pick it up for a song today and its just minutes from Vail, Colorado. Descriptions and links to pictures of it are in my latest video.

$500k is more than a bargain.

Thanks, sukatra. “Dem” is east coast dialect. “Them thar” is geographically correct for the Black Hills rush. You’re so smart!

Oh yeah, and it’s “there’s gold in them thar hills”, not “gold in dem hills”. Geez.

Has anyone else noticed that in the men’s gymnastics competitions, you frequently see the guy’s package bulging out of his leotard? What’s up with that? I mean, some of those guys are keeping their packages private. Why aren’t the rest of them?
