Been a while since I last read/wrote about the SEO beat. I’ve got over 2000 unread feeds in Bloglines and I thought I’d try bringing that count down a bit. While there’s very little free time for blogging and blogline-ing, I do accept the fact that it’s now a necessary ‘evil’. In this industry of ours, one can’t be gone for an extended period. A day spent away from the SEO life might mean:

1. losing the registration race for some nice expiring domains
2. learning your once impregnable niche has been taken over by a bunch of me too squatters
3. getting your PPC campaigns clickfrauded
4. getting your AdSense account clickbotted
5. losing contact with the mentors who got you started in the field
6. missing out on the latest ultra-secret link network
7. and lastly, missing the chance to make an impression

Now imagine abandoning SEO for a month :) that’s enough to discourage even the most happy go lucky SEO.

I’m back.
