Oh Months, Must you Keep Flying By

So November came and went, and now December is half through, and I haven't had anything to blog about...well, not really true - lots to blog about, just no good time to do it. I had a couple major website releases for some clients, so work prevents other work, you know?

But in releasing some new stuff for these clients (one here in Atlanta, two up in Wisconsin), I am streamlining the way I communicate SEO. I have talked before about why the suits like numbers, so I have created a few report templates that now allow me to offer really solid reporting for any website...it is a plug-and-play way for me to keep the communication flowing upstream. And they have all the money, so I keep them happy.

So in October/November, I concentrated on 3 clients, helping 2 others with some minor updates. I did some SEO copywriting and web optimization, and actually did a pretty cool print ad. I gathered up some year-end data, and reported tons of great progress to a lot of my existing folks.

I have also been bitten pretty hard by Facebook - lots of friends out there, and it's been fun. Got a couple light leads from it, but it is a social valve for me right now - not a phishing tool. I have plenty of work - I actually have very few places to use the web for any fun. Social media is a little weird for me - I am not that casual on the web. But this is still pretty fun, and it's great to talk to friends I haven't seen in 20 years or more.

I traveled some in the past two months. Attended some training and webinars, but nothing earth shattering. Have had some direct contact with some industry types, which is cool...simply talking to more like me is always a good thing.

But I didn't build much for myself in the past 8 weeks - it has been all about the Benjamins. But now that the Christmas coffers are full, I am going to try to balance 2009 and the holidays more in my own favor.
