People have started noticing new PR from Google.

My Google page.

Yeah, I’ve been reading Friedman. This gal, Nikki Neal, is the prime example of what Tom is on about. She is 21 and all she has done is a video of herself mouthing the words to a song.? Her video is a popular video at Google.? Which is going to be driving a whole bunch of traffic to her myspaces.

The world voted by doing.? And she won.? She is in a class, at least on video.google.com, as Budweiser and Jetta.? And the funny thing is ad compaines will probably try to emulate what she has done.? The little guy, that being Nikki, can go up against the big guy, that being Bud, and possibly win.? Too bad she isn’t selling anything.

I offered a friend of mine some space on one of my sites.? He said, but why would I want that?? That page would have no PR.? Yeah, of course it won?€™t have PR I replied.

But don?€™t look at today look at tomorrow.? Because as soon as you get that little magic green bar you are looking at history.

I think he thought I was a little too philosophical that morning.

The point is this ?€“ you cannot change the rankings or the PR of today, only the rankings and PR of tomorrow.

Yahoo! is slow slow or I’m the kid in the closet waiting to be found and Yahoo!’s gone home for dinner.

In both my races, Yahoo! has not found anything yet.

Race your there

I bailed out of GOOG. I lost a little bit of money, not much. Would be further into the hole if I had held on. Would have made a big % if I had sold when it was kicking around $470.00.

Why did I bail? I believe in Google, I don’t believe in the street.

Had a client recently want a KW stuffed domain name. Lets say he wants to place for [San Jose red furry widgets builders] he wanted a domain like:

www.sanjoseredfurrywidgetbuilders.com

Um, well, I tried to explain that KWs in the domain do help, but it was more important to have a short domain name people could type in and say to each other over the phone. He didn’t listen. He’s now got a 17 character long domain name.

Not PPC and they can have me at #1 today. I think I would like the term [insurance]!? This is a cash grab.

I recently had the opportunity to take Andrew Goodman of Page-Zero out to lunch in downtown Toronto. I?€™ve seen Andrew at SES, but this is the first time I?€™ve formally meet Andrew.

Andrew started his professional life teaching political science. He?€™s got a masters in the said subject and 8 of the 9 chapters, his words, of his PHD. How ironic to be seated with a political guru on Election Day in Canada?

Andrew started to discover the opportunities in the on-line marketing world were abound back in late 90?€™s and early 2000?€™s. He left the political science gig and has not turned back since.

His company is a mix of about 9 people some of them employees and others partners.

Andrew and I talked about most of the basics revolving around SEO. He was a little guarded. Maybe he thought I was a company spy or would post his golden nuggets on my blog. Not the case ?€“ anything off the record would stay that way.

Andrew is a cool guy. And I would recommend his companies services. He says they do mostly PPC management.
