There have been many historic rivalries over the years… but NOTHING comes close, to momentous rivalry between the East Side (of the Wpromote office) and the West Side.

Viral Video Friday!
Friday, July 30th, 2010It’s Friday and that means only one thing here at Wpromote! Ok, we lied, it means two: bagels for the entire office (score!), and we get to dazzle you with fun videos found ’round the web. Here are this weeks gems:
The Social Network (feat. “Creep” by Vega Choir)
Everyone here is nerdishly excited for this to hit the big screen. This version of “The Social Network” trailer (featuring Radiohead’s “Creep”, performed by Vega Choir) will raise the hairs on your arm. Go ahead, watch it. We dare you not to get chills.
One Semester of Spanish
Fellas, listen up! Traveling overseas this Summer? You can woo the ladies of Latin America with only a semesters worth of Spanish (or by memorizing this song)! You’re welcome.
Skydiving Prank
Many of us here at Wpromote have recently gone skydiving, and a few more brave souls are planning to do so over the next few months. For those of you who have fears of your parachute not opening, watch this!
Family Guy- Lois Mom Mum Mummy
I know, I know. We have all seen this clip, if not the actual Family Guy episode itself, many, many times. But seriously, it never gets old. Ever. At least we don’t think so.
Return of the Video Blog: The WprOlympics!
Friday, July 23rd, 2010Over a year in exile - but now WE’RE BACK!
I’d like to thank my partner, Jeff Collins, for always having the camera rolling when it counts, and for doing a bang-up job in the editing bay. He single-handedly turned hours of boring interviews into this spicy little 8 minute treasure that now awaits you… Enjoy!
Next week you’ll have to endure some nonsense from Team Mars (aka Mars Attacks), but we’ll be back in 2 with more cinematic gold.
Webmaster World / Pubcon Las Vegas Recap: VIDEO
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Las Vegas Pubcon 2009
Wpromote was fortunate enough to attend this year’s pubcon in Las Vegas in a slightly different manner than the previous two years we’ve attended. This time Christian (@itsxtian) and I (@KRONiS) had different agenda’s as I had a speaking gig on a great SEO Tools Panel and was armed with my new Zi8 Kodak HD camera. After having lots of experience with our SEO team, Christian was looking for more interesting and specific advanced SEO tactics to take away from pubcon, while supporting my efforts of speaking, networking and also enjoying our time at Pubcon.
Now that we’ve attended several of these events and I’ve spoken at BlogWorld, 140character conf, and the Wordcamp LA/Vegas confs, our world of SEO and search-related networking has expanded such that we know who most of the movers and shakers are in this industry. This gives us some piece of mind in knowing who we are looking to meet up with at these events and what we wish to accomplish.
I was asked to speak on a SEO / SEM Tools panel with Rand Fishkin (@randfish of SEOMoz), Jon Henshaw (@RavenJon of RavenTools), Jim Boykin (@jimboykin of WeBuildPages) and at first I was simply introducing myself to the community, explaining the things I did to become an SEO.
For example: Going to as many conferences as possible and meeting the guys like the ones on this panel and exchanging information, asking the burning SEO questions I had for my clients and also becoming a go green blogger as well.
Lots of SEOs at the Werewolf SEOMoz Party (l to r: Erika Mamber (Demand Media), Michael Martin (Google Android Blogger), Emily Spence, Shirley Tan, Aaron Kronis, Evan Fishkin)
Video where matt talks about malware, international domains and more.
I decided to put together a video compilation of what I could film at pubcon, including some candid moments where Matt Cutts was shaving people’s heads and answering SEO questions. That inspired this graphic:
Which you can pass around with this link: http://bit.ly/3baldmoon
Part 2, matt shaves another SEO, Nelson James who has questions, Matt answers several International questions for others as well as one for me about Canadian .ca domains hosted in USA.
Then he gets into Malware and Hacking being really on the rise and how webmaster central will help you diagnose your hacked sites using ‘fetch as Googlebot’ to combat sneaky hackers who don’t show the hacked page unless it is Googlebot coming to fetch it, and if you have a noarchive meta tag, you would never know you were hacked.
(note: Matt says “.ca we already know is relevant to Canada and the US IP should still be fine. You can have the TLD and then host it somewhere else, in theory we might think that you are relevant to both the spots…usually i don’t recommend that sort of granularity and tinkering with that stuff because people make mistakes and can shoot themselves in the foot if they are not careful“)
This next clip is from the PUBCON part of pubcon…
Till 2010! - thanks Brett Tabke and Joe Morin for doing such a great job with everything from the conference to the parties.
