Support your favorite pirate today! Yeah, it’s on the 19th this year, but I like to party like a pirate a little early. Never heard of Talk Like a Pirate Day? Only cool people do it, so if you aren’t doing it… Well, you already know you’re ‘that’ guy. Sad…

Marketing Socially: Robyn Tippins from Converge SC on Vimeo.
FYI, the very first of my talk is cut off, but what you miss is my telling you that I started a diaper company in 1998, at age 22, and in month one, using forums to market it, we grossed ~$30k. The video picks up there.

When I talk SEO, most people new to internet marketing want to know what keywords are and how to use them. Many still think that appropriate keyword usage is just keyword stuffing at it’s best. ::sigh::
There is never a reason to ‘fool’ the search engines with keyword stuffing, unless you are a Tool. And, yes, I mean tool as in a clever way to say jerk, not tool as in a useful thing that get’s stuff done. But, I digress…
Search engines like keywords. They literally eat them up. By understanding keywords and SEO, you are helping both Google, and Yahoo!, to provide relevant results (disclaimer, I work for Yahoo!). Keywords tell search engines what your site is about. Using keywords in ‘key’ places is what makes your site appear high up in search engine results pages (SERPs). If I want to rank well for the term SEO, I’m going to use ‘SEO’ all over my site. But, it’s not just the main word that’s important. The words that often appear with ‘SEO’ are key as well. Words like relevance, SERPs, H1 tags, keywords, etc. tell the search engines that they can trust my usage of SEO, because there are other words that usually appear with this word in natural language groupings.
In my daily wanderings, I found this SEO tutorial for the person who is new to SEO. I hope it helps.

I’m very impressed to see these thoughtful blogging guidelines from the US Air Force. Corporations should take some notes from these very clear tips, that also leave room for creative response.

Jeff Pulver is putting together a conference and is looking for speakers.
So I’m putting out this “Call for Speakers” and looking for creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to come forward and pitch me about a topic they are passionate about and would like to speak about. (Practical talks are also welcome.)
What I hope to bring together is a gathering of people with a variety of backgrounds and industries and together explore the future of where things are going and what business models will be used to provide the dollar returns needed to get us there. I expect to bring together people from across the worlds of: Media / Internet / Communications / Entertainment. Something I would call a “MICE” event.
If you are interested in speaking at SocComm, and or would like to suggest a speaker, please contact me ASAP. The deadline for speaking proposals is December 5th but the first to approach me will be the first I consider for the event.
If you are interested in pitching your idea to him, do it via email.

BizTechDay is October 25th at the Hilton in San Francisco. Tim Ferris, of 4 Hour Work Week fame (you may have seen my own praises for his book here), is the keynote, and if he was the only speaker there, the conference would be worth more than the $250ish that it costs. Of course, he’s not the only speaker though, the lineup is fab (below).
The organizers are setting up a genius bar, much like the Apple Stores’ famed guru corner, and I’ve been asked to be the Blog Monetization genius (woot!). If you are thinking of attending, but are still on the fence, let me know as I have a significant discount for 5 people (significant=discount of $150).
Full speaker list is here:

After seeing a series of tweets from a broad range of cool men, I stumbled upon Chris Brogan’s newest site, Dadomatic. The site is a range of posts from men who are taking fatherhood seriously.
From Eric Peterson:
Children can be so inspirational. It’s neat to see how they grow and develop, and even teach adults important lessons. So, that was my toddler taught adversity lesson. Or maybe it was actually a lesson on “independence” or “perseverance” or “toughness.” At any rate, it’s another valuable lesson from a special child!
From Scott Wilder:
In the pursuit of evaluating my stewardship of time; I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve allowed deadly toxins to invade my schedule. Toxins in the form of people and activities that impare my ability to lavish love and attention on my bride and forthcoming child.
From Joe Hage (on a subject we’re also dealing with at home):
Four-year-old Lukey got in trouble today.
Hitting at school. This after yesterday’s “pushing game” at school and the day before’s “spitting at school.”
This site gives a voice to a segment of people who rarely get to really talk about parenting. We applaud women as mothers, single mothers, females in general who blog, but when do we pat men on the back for the roles they play in our children’s lives? My husband is an amazing father, and I’m so glad to be able to show him this site and give him a way to speak out on the amazing things he does with our kids.
My only suggestion is to have the author’s names link to their home blog so when people (like me) quote this blog, we can link back to them correctly.
Thanks Chris, for giving men a community like BlogHer. To quote Martha Stewart, it’s a good thing.

Dadomatic – BlogHim?
Much has been made of Obama’s slick use of social media, and while McCain’s team is doing a pretty good job w/videos, Obama is clearly doing a better job giving his supporters sharable media.
One easy way to get the word out is with buddy icons. I remember back when I was active in politics, our policy was to push out bumper stickers at every opportunity (dating myself here). Free advertising! Buddy icons are the new bumper stickers when it comes to politics.
Buddy Icons
Obama’s buddy icons, for use on Instant Message services and Twitter, are easy to find and he has a large variety encompassing children, women, veterans, etc. (19 in all). McCain’s do not exist.
In my own self-interest, as a McCain supporter, I’ll offer up a buddy icon for McCain. Kudos to Obama’s marketing machine for realizing that the easier you make it to share, the more likely people are to share.

No, I didn’t go to BarCamp London but I noticed that Slideshare was featuring their presos in the header. Glancing through a few of the topics, I was intrigued by the Moo API preso. It’s a great ’sharing’ preso, because I don’t really need to hear the person talking to get the bulk of the info.
I initially clicked because I love Moo, but the preso was a great way to really show off what their API does and how easy it is to get it working for you. Very cool!

I'm totally taking part. Don't worry, I'll be hard to miss. I'll be the lone republican californian on twitter making my voice heard
@Duzins is my handle.
This of course assumes the debates go on and our economy doesn't end up in the loo.
