    Wow that is really cool. I can’t believe who they have me connected to. Pretty interesting. Oh ~ I just did my name and that came up. I haven’t tried to do it with my keywords yet.

    Hi Jack,
    Are you updating the Authority Black Book for 2010? Specifically the WordPress Plugins for SEO. I was wondering if you would still recommend the same ones or if you would change anything now. I am just putting together a wordpress blog for http://www.yankeesblog.com
    Thanks,
    Buddy

      Im not sure yet if I will update the book or go with another format. The plugins that are super important to me today (for SEO): All In 1 SEO, any plugin that posts to Ping.fm when you update your blog, any related posts plugin, and a linking plugin that links words you select to other pages on your site (wish I could remember the thing off hand – think its called cross linker or something like that).

    This could be very handy, would be cool if you could control both you facebook and twitter account through one interface and direct your blog post to them

    It sounds pretty cool at first, but it seems that Google loves to invade the privacy of all their visitors. I mean, I don’t want people to know EVERYTHING about me. They should just leave my social circle alone.

    yeah google is getting very specialized these days. I would get different search results logging in from different computers. Cool for the search user if it is actually accurate but aggravating for me because I am trying to perform SEO for my websites!!!
