What’s Going On Around the Cyberworld…and Las Vegas
Dec 6th, 2007 by msdanielle
Tonight I figured I’d spend some time cruising my RSS reader since it’s been feeling mighty lonely lately. And I came across some great stuff! Check it…
PPC
What do you get when you combine two second tier search engines? A second tier PPC platform. Bet most of you didn’t even know Lycos was still around… The Ask Sponsored Listings pretty much suck but I suppose they bring in some traffic that sort of converts. I’ll wait a little while before I opt into testing any new system.
Google has completed their series on Content Network Tips. Google’s content network can be tricky, and operates completely differently than their search network. If you still have questions about the content network after reading their series of tips, you can always contact an AdWords representative for further clarification. You can read the articles here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3
Bloggers In Vegas…Again
Many bloggers, internet entrepreneurs, and webmasters are meeting up this week for WebmasterWorld’s annual Pubcon conference in Las Vegas. Do I want to be there? Hell yea. But I can’t and that’s OK, I’ve been living vicariously through Nate Whitehill whose informed me he will not take any incriminating photos and subsequently he will not secretly show them to me after his return home 
So who’s partying it up like a search engine rock star this week? Well, Nate of course, along with ShoeMoney, and the guys over at the Rubicon Project (who by the way rejected my application into their beta program). Nate apparently got a hold of a lot of convention crap, er, I mean, swag, and will be giving it away on his blog. Two of my co-workers are there, plus my buddy Dave Davis of RedFly Marketing. Oh how I wish I was there… It sounds like some serious partying, oh yea and networking, is going on.
And Aaron Wall gives us some feedback on his panel participation regarding the unjust fear of link buying. It’s a sensible read and I recommend you check it out.
Other Great Stuff
Jamie Harrop asks the question that crosses every bloggers mind: Should Bloggers Get Personal? Well, I think we all agree at the very least that it depends on the blogger. Chip in your two cents on the topic at his blog.
Steve Pavlina says we’re partially responsible for the consequences for the actions of our company (i.e. employer), even if we privately object to them, and that we are essentially all self-employed. And he’s right. I like the way he thinks.
Need a big ole list of social bookmarking sites? Well, Search Engine Journal has compiled a big ole list of 125 of them. How many on the list are you using?

1. That is a great information stuff…thanks a lot for sending this out all the Parts…of Google Content Network Tips
2. I agree that the bloggers can get personal…and that is how we get to know personal stuff…why not share it……it may be useful to few people….and also add value at times :-)…but yes they should know where to draw the line…..and stay behind
thanks for reading it! i know a lot of people have concerns about google’s content network and their concerns are well warranted.
make sure to leave your comments on jamie’s blog too!
many of my posts tend to include personal anecdotes (not TOO personal) but i like to just show another side of my personality. if i were attempting to be an authority, i would probably leave out a lot of the posts i’ve published

Thanks for the link, Danielle.
you’re welcome!
i wrote a similar type of post when i published a Daft Punk concert review and footage…
Bah, everything is always in Los Vegas. We need some Canadian content here!
where is los vegas?
jk
you should bring the canadian spirit to vegas!
Why is everything happening in Las Vegas!?
are you going to be at affiliate summit west? also in vegas… ad:tech is in san francisco if you’re thinking of going. also a great convention city, if you like to eat well
i wish i knew about the convention. i was in LA a couple of days ago. i would have extended my stay to go, had i known. from my experience, conventions aren’t that useful but it’s good to go at least once to any given trade convention
i think they can be great networking events. if you did go, i’m sure you would’ve made lots of great connections. you should check out which ones are coming up and see if they fit your bill
We will do Vegas soon… soon enough.. Must wrap up some contracts..
yea we’ll rock vegas. for sure…
Vegas.. So far from my country..
And what I know about Vegas is Casino and CSI Vegas..
Ha ha ha….
Maybe I will ask uncle ‘Altavista’ about Vegas..
