Wow, now that’s a dodgy and gramatically incorrect title if there ever was one. So sorry I’m so late in posting the finalists for the #SEScrapmas competition . Turns out Wednesday (which was the deadline) was actually yesterday, days kind of blur when you are on maternity leave. The other day I walked out in my slippers, have also found my house keyes in strange places, you get the drift – I’m “two sandwiches short of a picnic” at the moment. Anywho, thanks to everyone that entered the competition and hellped us spread the word, we had some cracking coverage and entries. We had so much fun hearing some of the stories and seeing the pictures of your “crap” Christmas [...]

Win SES London tickets with your Christmas Crap
SES London is just around the corner (22-24th February), and as official, associated sponsors; the SEO Chicks have a little Christmas love for you. And no greater love can an SEO have to give, than a free conference pass to one of the hottest search events of the year. Yeah,.. that’s right. I said “hottest” and “search event” together, (and that’s before we get to the party that Nichola Stott and Joanna Butler are organising – supported by SES. More to follow on party details later) Now; we Chicks don’t just give our goodies away. Oh-no! You have to work for them. So we thought it would be great to put on a little festive competition to give YOU the [...]

The Future of Search – Crowdsourced at SES NY
In advance of SES Chicago; which kicks off in about *glances at watch*, now; we thought we’d share this little video to whet your appetite. Jonathan Allen over at Search Engine Watch put this one togther, and you will notice a rather heavy focus on our own Lisa Myers’ other ‘arf, Jon D Myers. Apparently Jon is too tall to ever be properly captured on video. FACT. (D, of course, stands for Daddy. Plus big hello to our newsest SEO Chick.) Have a look at the video, get your swag hashtag on #seschi and let’s get this show on the road. Please do let me know what YOU think will be the future of search. Final p.s. – hat-tip to [...]

Find A Mentor (Or Some Mentos)
Along with the list of skills that you need to possess in order to be a good SEO, I’d like to add the following: Knows how to find a good mentor. I’ve been in the industry for enough years that I do think that, for the most part, I know what I’m doing. I know what’s going on, I can adapt to industry changes very quickly, and I feel confident that the advice that I give is valid and worthwhile. However, I’m not stupid enough to believe that I can’t be wrong, which is why I am so fond of having mentors. No matter how much experience you have, someone else has more of it, and someone else has better [...]

The Best Job In The World
It’s Wednesday night, and I’m sitting trying desperately to think of something to blog about. I considered doing something about the election & social media, but quickly realised that I am bored to tears by the election, so I’m assuming everyone else is too. That still leaves me with the question of what to blog about. Then it dawned on me, I’m spending my Wednesday night working, I’ve spent every night this week working in fact, and the weekend. This should, really, be a slightly depressing thought, I’m sure for most people it would be, but the fact is, it’s not. The reason it’s not, is that I love what I do, and (I’m sure I’m not alone in this) [...]
