Metamend Brain Jam

On Friday February 23, the staff at Metamend is getting together for a brain jam about Google Personalization. Over the next two weeks, we will each be running separate but coordinated experiments at work and in our spare time.

While I am not going to outline the exact specifications of our experiments until we have completed them, I believe the results will give the SEO team plenty to think and talk about.

It should be noted that we do not believe personalization will have a tremendous immediate impact. Therefore, this series of experiments will have to be conducted on a regular basis, likely every three months or so.

This is going to be the first brain-jam I have participated in since signing on with Metamend and I am very excited about it. We will release the results of our experiments and brain-jam session two weeks from now in this blog.  Stay tuned.

Springtime in Victoria

Much to the annoyance of friends, family and pretty much everyone else on the other side of the mountains, it is now officially springtime on the south-west coast of Canada. The cherry blossems are out and the temperature is ranging into the double-digits (celcius) more often than not.

This has relatively nothing to do with search marketing, SEO or technology but I thought I would mention it. I know my family is reading with fratricidical interest. By the way, I scored 34 on a 9-hole course on Sunday. Chip away at that Dad.
