SES Speakers to Be Outfitted with Buzzword Shock Wristband
From: searchenginewatch.com
Was last week’s SES New York just too filled with buzzwords? Was Guy Kawasaki’s keynote too predictable? Did you feel that reading Lisa Barone’s live blog coverage was the same as actually being there?
Those days are over.
From now on, if an SES speaker ever utters a buzzword, they will be shocked by this hi-tech wristband from ThinkGeek.

Buzzwords that trigger the wristband include:
- integration
- transparency
- visibility
- user intent
- funnel
- engagement
- conversation
- buzzword
- tactics
- collaboration
- syncing
- maturation
- competency
- paradigm
- discovery
- relationship
- leveraging
- globalization
- optimization
What do YOU think of the buzzword shock wristband? Leave your comments below.

Exceeding expectations (or don’t bother)
From: google.com
Today, as you’ve no doubt discovered, is April Fools, the official holiday of the web.
I had, as I do every year, a fools post written and queued up. (It was about out JD Salinger and the Dalai Lama as twitter users.) It was good, not great.
So I posted nothing.
I couldn’t exceed my (or your) expectations, so I posted nothing.
That’s a brave thing to do and a good feeling as well. Next time all you have is ‘good’, try nothing on for size.

No Copy on Home Page - Forum Thread of the Week
From: highrankings.com
I am doing SEO for a website, and I have tried to persuade the owner to include some copy on the home page to sell their services and for ranking, but they prefer just an image and navigation. Is this going to be a big setback in terms of SEO?

Is Your IT Department the Department of SEO Prevention?
From: searchenginewatch.com
Although I conducted this interview with Jill Whalen, the CEO of HighRankings, in February at SES London 2009, I’ve been saving it for April Fool’s Day. Why? Because we talk about the IT Department, which is often called the Department of SEO Prevention in many organizations.
One of my tips to get the IT folks on board with that an SEO consultant recommends and your organization needs to make is to buy pizza for everyone who claims to be too busy to implement them. Check out some of the other practical advice that Whalen shares in what has become an ongoing mission of hers.

Jill Whalen, HighRankings, on building better relationships between marketing and IT
By the way, High Rankings is offering new intermediate-advanced 1/2 day SEO workshops on April 2 and 3, 2009, in Framingham, MA. One is on keyword research, another on SEO copywriting, a third on social media marketing, and the fourth is about web analytics.
If you tell Jill that you’re from the IT Department, you could get a slice of pizza. Then again, this could be an April Fool’s joke that I just made up and all you’ll get is an in-depth website marketing workshop.
