Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve updated the site.  Very remiss of me.  I’ve got some new sites to tell you about.  Firstly a little creation by me.  It’s a directory site called Search Engine Optimisation UK.  Basically it’s a directory of UK based seo companies and consultants, although there are very few listed at the moment.  Submissions are currently free, so if you are in the seo business and have a web site advertising your services get listed now!

Another new site, but this time not by me!  This site has been created by a guy called Chris Callaghan who after some lessons from me has created The Truth About Bird Flu.  Now some of what he has to say about bird flu is pretty scary stuff and it might make you want to go and live in a cave away from anyone, so be warned.  Anyway, Chris has taken some of my advice and created a great source of information and plugged in some Adsense ads to hopefully earn a few pennies.

As well as several new clients web sites I’m working on, I’ve also decided to enter into the SEO World Championships.  This is basically a competition to see who can get a new site to rank the highest on a search term which does not currently show any web pages. The term that I have to get ranked high on is Globalwarming Awareness2007. The winner wins a new car, which seems a strange prize bearing in mind the ranking phrase.  I think it’s a new Citroen or something.  I don’t think it’s a hybrid car or one of those new environmentally friendly ones.

SEO companies and consultants from around the world are entering so I don’t really stand much chance.  As the saying goes you got to be in it to win it!
