SEO Dark Lord - 94%

Are you an SEO Expert?

OK I took the SEOmoz SEO Expert Quizz tonight and did pretty well with a wopping 94%. I’m not sure if that qualifies me as an expert but I was pretty happy with the result. The thing I’ve found after over 9 years of working in SEO is that it’s about actually following the fundamental rules of optimisation in order to get your sites and your clients ranked well. The SEOmoz Quiz is designed to test your mettle with 75 action-packed questions covering all corners of the SEO universe from beginner knowledge, to sneaky tricks only true Dark Lords of the SERPs will know. I did this test in about 20 minutes and promise I didn’t cheat.

We were out surfing last week and the little bro was on the esky lid (boogy board) with his legs dangling (and I do mean dangling as he’s 6 foot 4.).

We’ve headed into shore and started walking back to the car when we saw a bunch of people at the end of the beach (Cosy Corner, Byron Bay).

There was Ben, a mate of ours, with a huge shark bite out of his board. See the whole Byron Bay Sharks story here.

Well we’ve been having a ball whitewater rafting in the Philippines last week. Frankly it was a blast. We rode a grade 4 rapid in Mindanao. Southern Philppines just after a huge storm.

Whitewater rapids are rated on a scale of one through six, indicating the difficulty of each rapid at “normal” water level. The scale is a subjective one. While rapids are individually classed, rivers are given an overall classification that takes the whole stretch of river into account. As an example, the wilderness section of the Cagayan de Oro River has lots of Class IV rapids, but the overall classification is Class III and III+, indicating that a rafter with strong Class III skills would find the challenges OK. We went with the top crew from Rafting Cagayan De Oro (www.RaftingCDO.com)

I’m writing this from the launch of Phase 2 of our youth fund (www.ysei.org) in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. We’re holding the launch of the YSEI Fellowships 2008 at the GKP Pavilion at the WCIT 2008 Exhibition Area in tandem with The Tiger’s Lair which is a scale up pitching opportunity for 4 young social entrepreneurs, 2 of whom were YSEI fellows last year in 2007.
