Time to spice up the David Naylor Blog. Many ask does Dave really have an SEO Rock Star Lifestyle ? Well now is your chance to find out. What does he really think ? Do you have a specific question you want to ask him ? Starting next week we will be profiling the larger than life SEO and finding out what really makes him tick.

When you explore the SEO community many newcomers ask the question, what exactly are the famous SEO folk famous for? Good point. I’ll be asking those questions too.

Feel free to input your Seo questions,,to Dave and others…

As an addendum to his article on link building for kindergartner’s over at SEOMoz Pritam Barhate posits the idea of an SEO Wiki, which is an interesting idea to which my first reaction was “Cool! Let’s do it!”. But on reflection I think there are several reasons a public SEO wiki just wouldn’t work:

• SEO moves too fast
  Techniques and tricks change almost daily in the current environment. Much of an SEO wiki’s content would be out of date almost as soon as it was written. Even with a core of dedicated users trying to keep things current it’s not hard to imagine out of the way areas being forgotten and showing inaccurate content. And just like real encyclopedias bad information can sometimes be worse than no information at all.
• SEOs argue too much
  The endless point/counterpoint that fills the days of Editors and contributors on Wikipedia has nothing on the SEO community. For every person who’ll stand up and champion a certain method you’ll find at least one other authoritative voice willing to swear blind such a thing will get you googleslapped. SEO seems to be an area where it’s impossible to please all of the people all of the time. That isn’t a good fit for a community edited wiki.
• An SEO wiki
  When a blogger outlines techniques or methods you know who’s speaking and wether you value their word. An SEO wiki would be faceless and easily gameable. What’s to stop some nefarious SEO (no, not DaveN) seeding the wiki with techniques that lead to banning/lost rankings? Or to use a competiting sites techniques they’ve investigated as an example on how to do (or not to do) things, thus exposing their competition in a very public place? In short there’d be any number of ways to game an SEO wiki for commerical advantage, and few of them would be benign.

I’d love to see an authoritative wiki-style resource for SEO, but if it’s going to happen it’d need to be a closed system edited by a handful of experts…and who’s going to give away their entire armoury of techniques in that way?

Ok, I was chatting to a salesman about mattresses the other day, I have always liked the Big Heavy Feather filled type the sort you can actually snuggle into. Well Becky has been sold on the memory foam idea, but I’m not sure. Dan used to have memory foam but said “he just sank to the bottom but his wife said her side was fine!” … hmm Becky is about the same size as Dan’s wife and I’m only slightly smaller than Dan, So what’s the score… is Memory foam ok if you are 6 foot and heavy and you partner is 5′6 and very light ! Do you end up sleeping at different levels in the bed?

Every so often I find a blog or site that just makes me shout out YES !!!!! while is was wasting my time twittering I came across this :

“My latest post about Chrome clearly proves my own point about mob mentality of the web 2.0 world - just try disagreeing with the crowd :)” so I quickly popped over to10 myths about Google chrome browser

Ok I’m Microsoft biased but Svetlana was right on the money and the comments read more like that gay guy screaming about leaving Brittany Spears alone, with complaints about the title of the post, this is just free IE advertising and crap like that.

so if you don’t subscribe to her RSS then do so for the Love of God do so
