DISQUS

That was a fun night. Well, up til that one point. And I would so help you with a young Kelly LeBrock. she was a fox, speaking of foxes, i hope Megan Fox never gets fat.

Hmmm. I like the math of it all, so while linking out to quality sites is useful- there is a threshold where you do have too many outbound links and you leak too much PR to other sites so you can never flow enough through to your internal pages to boost PR and gain real authority.

PR is leaked in this fashion - you leak up to 85% of your PR to other sites from each page of your site. The value of the links you give to others diminishes as you link out to more and more pages, so over linking is not helping you or your friends. SEOmoz.org suggests very specific link limits to pages of specific PRs - check out their whiteboard Friday for PR sculpting/siloing and it will all make sense.

Thank so much what an honor to be among such other great bloggers and thanks for the shout out to my rebellious ways. I am a fighter and I love stirring up hornets nests online!!! Congrats to all the other winners especially my partner in crime @Nik_Nik / NikNIk/Nicole Nicolay.

A note to all, our new site has been so effective at generating buzz that we have had over 3K visitors today already. And this is before our publicist has had the chance to get the word out.

Yesterday Nicole called out the Mean Girls for Outing Sarah Palin and today, I posed the question "Are you a good bitch or a bad bitch?"

Had a wonderful time hanging out with the SEOs. I don't live in your world, but it was fun to visit and surprisingly not as geeky as I imagined. I think props have to go to Samantha Snyder for keeping the bus clean by draping barf bags from people's ears.

Thanks Scott. If we were selling something, we were hoping you would buy it.

Thanks for the plug, Joe. We'd always love for you to contribute over there.

Teresa,

We don't sell anything. We have a main stream marketing book being published in the Spring of 09. It is not for real estate or bloggers, just general stuff, probably not something you would be interested in.

Sacriliciously,
Mary

yeah- there are a lot of people I want to see NUDE- starting with the ROCK and ending with Ryan Reynolds. The guy in "Forgetting Sarah Silverman" not one of them.

Thanks Barry - wonderful analysis of how social media can directly impact the reputation of ones brand.

I love the analysis.

Well said, Joe.
By simply writing rich copy about real estate and for the transactional visitor- you get both long and short tail traffic. The rub has been that the real estate space took a turn sometime in the past where they started only blogging to the long tail- completely forgetting about the sheer volume of the short tail could easily be targeted with fewer posts. I sometimes wonder if the long tail isn't responsible for the all this prolific daily blogging I see. My best clients don't spend hours blogging every day- they spend maybe 3 hours a week. That's it. They get lots of short tail and long tail searches and more importantly- they get LEADS.
