Universal Search = Sticky SEO?

Sexy Title eh?  Sexy titles aside let me just take a minute to point out the fact that I VERY SELDOM endorse anything! Am I one of those geek elitist’s? Yeah a little, but mostly, it’s the fact that I’ve been screwed by eBooks promising fruitful knowledge, How-To do x,y, or z only to be told near the end of a ridiculously long read that I’m going to need to buy something else… Great! How far down the rabbit hole do you continue to follow that? I still believe that the best things in life are free!

And with all the crap ebooks out there who has the time to waste anymore? So needless to say I was more than a bit Leary when David asked me if I’d review his ebook “Sticky SEO” I looked at his site, then I saw the ‘Sales page’ - not to worry, David just has a great sense of humor! After all a Sales Page for a Free ebook, I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny!

While David calls this new algorithm the “usefullness Algorithm” Any of you that have listened to Brian and I for the last few years know that we’ve been preaching about “Universal Search” well it’s finally here! Matt Cutts said in an interview w/ Mike McDonald that Universal Search is hitting Shelves Q1 of ‘09! Plain and simple this is a 25 page ebook w/ some real down to earth common sense.

SEO 101 update and some yadda yadda

So after successfully winning the Lancaster SEO contest I figured I should hop in and give everyone some much needed updates! First things first SEO 101 on WebmasterRadio.fm had quite the surprise last week when our producer told us in chat that we had a caller on our Toll Free Question line! And who was this surprise caller? It was the 1 the only… Brian Mark! His question? Well he wanted to know if Carolyn and I wanted him back on the show… Which we jumped at… Brian has been on hiatus for 5 months now… Carolyn Rawks… but I do have to say I missed my bud ;) So WELCOME BACK BRIAN! 

And if that’s not enough awesomeness for you first thing in the morning… How about this? Heather Fox over at IBM Press has sent me a Draft Manuscript copy of Search Engine Marketing, Inc.  Second Edition (Mike Moran & Bill Hunt) Mike will be joining us on SEO 101 to discuss the new book… look for that episode in the first weeks of October!
