… and you’re an internet marketer then you need to check this one out. This had my attention the second I saw the URL as it was passed along to me from my boss over IM.

Alright so I haven’t posted in a while and my Google Analytics is looking like crap and I have  some splainin’ to do. Actually no I don’t really need to explain anything to anyone, but my girlfriend isn’t home from work yet and I have some time, so read on.

I started this blog as my SEO outlet pertaining to any and everything under the SEO sun that I learn or find interesting on a daily basis as I entered my first consulting gig.

After having Christmas and New Years both fall on a Friday in 2009, today marks the first hump day of the New Year, as well as the first Wednesday of the first full work week in my last two.  Inevitably making this week seem like the longest work week on record in recent memory.

Not only is this week dreadfully hated by many for being the first fully in a while, it’s also going unusually slow from what I can remember.  This is usually the busiest time of the year when it comes to the Internet and there really just doesn’t seem to be that much going on in the IM sector.  I guess since I work in the e-commerce niche, a lot has slowed down since the Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas rush to my sites.

My latest project at work involves doing some research on whether or not I can successfully use the canonical tag across domains, and even sub-domains.  Basically we host numerous amounts of awesome content on our e-commerce store in order to bring in lots of traffic from long tail as well as the unique and legitimate information our content offers.  However recently I’ve re-designed our company blog and placed more attention there trying to utilize the social scene.  We’ve also recently come to a crossroads where we decided that we’d rather separate product from content.  In turn, meaning move all the content over to the blog, and focus strictly on selling product on the e-commerce store.

The reason we want to implement the canonical tag is that we do not want to have any duplicate issues between our blog and our main site.  My feeling is that, if the canonical tag is supported across domains and sub-domains, we should definitely utilize it and post our content on our blog.  It allows for us to re-use great original content that has been buried on our main e-commerce site for months and getting it in front of fresh eyes on our newly designed blog.  However I could be wrong, but that’s just my opinion.

Yuck…

The first day back from a nice holiday break is never really that fun. Getting back into your morning and office routine’s after waking up feeling nice and plump from a weekend full of good food and drink. (By the way I am definitely hitting the gym after work tonight for a good long workout this evening.)

I tried to distance myself from everything search over the holiday weekend and managed to barely even open my laptop. Mainly in part to a few holiday dinners and the new Nintendo Wii my girlfriends parents bought me. I am obsessed with MarioKart and will dominate anyone who wants to challenge me. (send me your Wii user # and lets do this)
