Story: Are You Plurking Yet?
Well I guess every man or women to his or her own. Somethings are just better left to debate :)
Good stuff, I have been working on an idea for a new social media site that is focus on the business communiity and its nothing like LinkedIn. This is a inspiring story.
I hope they have some serious resources ready once they make their improved search engine. From what I have read it consumes alot of resources with the amount of data and computing power you will need. But on the other hand, having Rand and Danny working on this subject is bound to bring good results.
I have always been very consious about what I write online. I give the "Warren Buffett" test of anything I write I would be able to defend if it was on the first page of the New York Times.
Yeah its called two people and two micro-recorders :). It is correct about sitting down and mapping our your conference strategy ahead of time so you get the most out of it.
I think Google should re-think its stance on paid links. If you make people feel demonized for purchasing relevant links in our "free-market" economy you will just end of with ever more clever and pervasive spam throughout the internet. Purchasing paid links took alot spam out of the system. I have noticed on one of my blogs I have had since Jan 2005 the spam has been reduced greatly over the last two years. People are now just emailing about buying ad space on my blog. What I think this comes down to in the end as always is "control". Google does not dominate the link purchasing and selling market so it see it as a threat to there Adwords system. Agree or Not?

I think you can not overly rely on any one strategy. With that said, what link baiting really shows is compelling content is very important and can a cornerstone of any search marketing campaign. I think the problem lies with alot of these seo professionals is that they seem to specialize too much and when you handling "all" a person search marketing you are doing them a dis-service. The question you have to ask is what happens when "tactic x" is no longer working or even worse has brought the wraith of the "quality control"? It has been my personal experience that the SEO bails on them or plays the blame game. I find that is the case because there marketing strategy was very "one dimensional" overly relying on certain tactics to give them the desired result.

I have my plates made already. I am just waiting til the wire to see if anyone really brings it before I unless my vanity greatiness.
I have to say "no" on this one. Communities need something to rally around to give it the "staying power" that a website needs to keep the crowd coming back. In my experience, great content builds the community. Take SEOMoz for example. Rand has put many hours into writing great articles covering many topics. So well that now he not only has a premium membership (yes I am a member BTW) but attracted investment capital because they liked what he was doing and what they had built up. Content will always be king but there willl be more in the "King's Court".
I disagree, the Wikipedia has alot of good information (and bad) and when I link to it I feel that I am rewarding this great community effort. Also I link to others as well. What I find is that most other sites do not approach giving a definition of some term as well as the wiki. When I link too the wiki it is usally for come technical term that will help a reader that might not be as familiar some help so they can understand the artcile a little more.
