I haven’t been blogging much….sorry……ya know, I’m totally down with staying under the radar. There’s enough other people keeping each other in check that I’m fine with sitting back and watching the games being played. I’m fine with reacting internally to what goes on out there, and not being a part of the conversation these days.
But hey, I thought I’d give a brief update on what Jim’s been up to, or what’s on my mind at the moment.
So what’s Jim been up to?
Well, besides Internet Marketing Ninjas and SEO Class (first one April 11th)…as far as We Build Pages stuff…
We still take on the occasional client….but at least we’re able to “cherry pick” leads to match our open time slots.
We continue to improve our methods all the time via people, knowledge, tools, and the build up of the Ninja Army at We Build Pages.
We’ll soon be cycling in some of our own sites into our work mix …just as if they were a client.
…I’ve seen a lot of website business plans since I started over 9 years ago, and I’m out to follow the money.
We still continue to find amazing trusted old websites.
The trick is how to preserve the content and trust, and build upon it so that it makes a profit. That’s a challenge in itself.
We strive to preserve the content, and add more resources to it. We’ve been working on widgets, and “long-term linkbait” content/stats, and we’re starting to spread the word on other related webpages ( 😉 ).
I’ve been studying up on companies who offer good lead programs (I’m open to suggestions, fyi, we’ve got an inventory of just about every type of site/industry).
I’ve been reading/re-reading/analyzing documents that tell what a human might think when they view your webpage, and how they may judge your page, so that we can build the type of quality resource search engines might be looking for.
We’re working on doubling our staff this year (from 25 to 50), so lots of interviews/training going on.
We still building internal tools to make our jobs easier – while still keeping a human touch where it needs to be.
I lost 10 pounds in the SEO’s Fight Fat contest.
The entire team is going to Atlantic City tomorrow and monday – nicely fully paid for by one of our happy clients.
I’m going to Amsterdam in 3 weeks to visit a client. I hear the coffee is really good over there.
FYI, I’ve turned down all speaking gigs this year (except SEO Class)….I’m happy to stay under the radar and just do my thing now.
I owe Mr Wall a favor, and next to my Internet marketing training program I’ll mention his SEO training, and my SEO Class. (buy them all 😉 )
Did I mention that SEO Class is April 11th in Troy NY?
How’s everyone out there doing?
I’m Feeling Lucky.

Missed your wise posts Jim! 🙂
Seems Google stock is down about 10% since you sold it in January ’07. Do you think it’s time to get back in? (or are you not interested in the stock market anymore?)
Actually, coffee in Europe sucks. The only decent coffee I’ve had made by Europeans is Italians. The rest of it is crap. Of course, in Amsterdam, you may not be fully in touch with your regular senses anyway and most anything tastes good.
Nice anchor text Jim…thank you. 🙂
May I suggest a delicious brownie (or 2) to go with the Jamaican coffee you will be drinking?
still seo domaining over here, Jim.. now trying to identify a handful of sites to begin concentrating my time on..
but…soo..hard..to..resist..buying…more….
Jim, ll have to buy you a coffee when you’re in A’dam 🙂
Coffee in Europe sucks but at least people are thin here.
Hi Jim, I checked the Internet Marketing Ninja Program and am very interested in assisting to one of them. Do you offer any options to pay for this program like in 3 o 6 installments for those of us that don’t have all the money? I know what your offer is the best and it will really be worth the $ and time.
Sorry Jim, I have one more question. Have you ever thought about the possibility of offering this conferences for us in Latin America? I know a lot of people would be interested.
Great article! I’ve never been to Amsterdam, and therefore have never tried their coffee. Apparently according to one commenter, the people are thin there, so if you go there and drink their coffee, maybe you could lose that other 20 pounds you’re wanting to eh?? 🙂
Congrats on your weight loss though as well. I’m working on this myself…always!

Nice to see a new blog post Jim. I hoped to see you at SMX West but it sounds like you have been especially busy. Good luck with the SEO Class. -Tom
SEO Blog,
“Latin America”…. hum….nope, the thought never crossed my mind…but ya never know.
Just keep on blogging Jim. No excuses please I like to read your posts.
gr,
Peter
Well, I just bought a bunch of google shares hehe 🙂
Nils….best wishes….maybe yahoo or msn might be opportunities now….who knows….right now I’ve got no money in the stock market….maybe I should invest in gold or other currencies since the dollar is so shitty now.
Hi Jim
Would you consider ever offering your SEO class to somewhere closer to New Zealand or Australia? – I’d be soooo keen to attend, but unfortunately don’t think I’m allowed in America. :/
You reckon this could ever be on the cards?
Staying under the radar is wise these days. Too much of face forward and people seem to want to bash it. As far as linkbait goes, keep up the good work — it is something that I work on frequently myself.
