There is some talk about “SEO Fame” going around started off by Lee Odden and then continued today with a post over on SEOmoz by Rand Fishkin – they both seem to be saying the same thing… It’s not an end in and of itself. Well, yeah, duh… But it sure doesn’t [...]

As we all do on our free time, I was discussing PPC over lunch with someone.  Her claim was that bidding on branded terms was illegal and unethical.  While I respect her opinion as she is highly regarded in the search marketing world – I disagree.

www/no-www – Pick one or the other and do it when you set up your hosting – from the start NOT HARD
Descriptions ARE NOT OPTIONAL – Sure they technically [...]

2007 marked the rise to god-like popularity for social networks. Starting in late ’06 with a deal ranging in the billions of dollars when Google acquired YouTube to the hundreds of million’s invested into Facebook just a few months ago – it is clear that being social is big business.  Social networks are so popular [...]

So I haven’t actually written about SEO in quite a while and a few of my readers (well, one really – and no, It wasn’t my Mom) have expressed concern that my SEO blog is losing focus and turning into a Social Media blog. This is true, I have been addicted to social [...]

When I was a young SEOer, small-time, freelancing my way through life – charging a set fee for one or two sessions with the client to do what I could optimize their sites in as little as time possible – things were great. They were happy, I was happy – life was grand. They [...]

Yesterday thanks to our team doing the best it has ever done by more than $20k my boss decided to give us all an iPod Touch. (Sorry if my job perks are better than yours.)

Why did I pick WingnutSEO.com rather than DaveWinget.com for this blog? Simple. I wanted to finally start branding myself – Dave Winget is just a name. A name that people forget and MISPRONOUNCE (I’m talking to you – everyone reading this – it’s Win-JET not Wing-ET)
