1. You shall… Never, ever “out”, “call out”, “rat”, or “snitch” on what another SEM is doing.
2. You shall… Never be stingy with links.
3. You shalll… Never use a condom, they just don’t feel right. The only exception is to prevent comment spam.
4. You shall… Attend conferences… make allies… buy allies a beer… if they happen to tell you what they are making a goldmine on refer back to #1.
5. You shall… Never stop learning. You should be reading for a couple of hours a day at least, because you’re not as smart as you think you are.
6. You shall… Work in your bathrobe at least 2 days / week.
7. You shall… Work 7 days / week. The Internet never sleeps.
8. You shall… Obsessively check email, Digg, SEPRS, commissions, leads and sales. When you’re not at home you shall use your “crackberry”
9. You shall… Constantly complain about GOOG and how it sucks for screwing you.
10. You shall… Find a new service or site and immediately figure out a way to game it.

I just wanted everyone to know where I stand on certain subjects that affect our community, no big whoop. I feel like I need to “blog tag” somebody with this… but I’ll refrain since nobody knows who I am yet

After months of anticipation from all my readers (consisting of myself), I have finally decided to start blogging. I’m still working on some design changes and some page copy, but I think it’s far enough along to at least make some spider-food. Add me to your Google Reader or Bloglines so you can keep up on all my witty banter. Sometimes I’ll give advice on what I would do in certain situations, but use it at your own risk. If you end up crashing your web server don’t sue me; I’ll just move and change my name again.

My posts are going to cover a broad spectrum of topics including: Search Engine Optimization, technology problems and solutions that I constantly face with Wordpress, web servers, database servers, PHP and the like, affiliate techniques, social networks, analytics, and whatever else I feel like. There are plenty of other blogs out there that cover this information, and cover it much better than I will, so my main focus will be on usability.

This blog is really about helping you make your site(s) more user-friendly in order to do more business. Some posts will be targeted for mom and pops running their own web business and some will targeted for advanced technophiles. I’m sure I’ll be hitting many topics that the old-school Internet Marketers know inside and out, but maybe they can pick up a few gems here and there as well. So, without further adieu, let the blogging begin!
