If you’re like me, you try to take a break from the virtual world over the weekend. If you do so though, you may miss a good story or 2. I’m going to be posting on this idea every Monday. Here are some of the news stories for this weekend:
1. Matt Cutts gave us a “concrete example of paid posts and show why the major search engines don’t want to be affected by links within paid posts,” and a good discussion is starting at Sphinn. I was a little disheartened by this, as it really doesn’t prove anything more than the idea that some bloggers aren’t giving their all. Well, Matt, welcome to our world. We think we are going to call it the “Internet.” The name is still in talks though. We will let you know.
2. Aaron Wall wrote a post on procrastination, and the negative effects. This hit home a bit for me as the new SEO Factor design was to also carry with it a lot of neat resources. I seem to have let client work overcome mine. Though I’m proud of my attention to them, I really should be managing my time better.
3. Google Blogscoped wrote on Google’s move to ban (most) ads selling PR. Whatever your opinion on Google’s stance on this subject, this is at least a move to make them a little less hypocritical.
4. I had a super busy weekend, so didn’t get to get into a lot of the happenings, but I really will be doing this weekly. It’s part of my “write better posts” commitment to readers and myself. So, come back next Monday, and we will see what happened next weekend. No…wait….don’t wait until next Monday to come back…seo
