SEO Mentor

So if you haven’t heard yet Google SearchWiki has just launched which some say is going to forever change personal search. You decide for yourself and check out this video by a Google SearchWiki engineer:

SearchWiki lets you customize your Google Web Search results. You can rank, remove and add notes to any result page and see those tailored results anytime you do that search while you’re logged in to your Google Account.

So all you need is a Google account and log in for Google SearchWiki to work. There is going to be a lot written on this subject in the near future so I don’t want to take a lot of your time just wanted to inform you on the new addition to Google’s arsenal.

To find out more check out the “SearchWiki: make search your own” Google blog post.

I had a blast interviewing James Duthie from Down Under! With his amazing Australian accent and wonderful online marketing tips and content, James is the epitome of a up and rising online star. James is famous for his powerful guest posts that rock the industry every time a new one is posted. Listen above to my interview with James or read the transcript below!

Garrett: Hello everyone, Garrett Pierson, Your SEO Mentor here with James Duthie. How are you, buddy?

James: Very good, Garrett, how are you?

Garrett: I’m great. I hear that Australian accent there, is that right?

James: Yes, that is correct. I’m from Melbourne, Australia, sunny Australia. It’s a beautiful spring morning where I am, at the moment. It’s a good time of year to be in Australia. It’s just coming into summer in the next few months.

Garrett: That’s awesome. I’m going to ask you a couple of questions throughout the interview, and it sounds like there’s a slight delay. We’ll work through that. James, tell us a little bit more about yourself. For those who may not know you, what is your background in the online-marketing industry, your family, your hobbies, or whatever you want?

So here is my take on the browser, I have downloaded it and you can also at http://www.google.com/chrome.

But this is a Google product and I know it will get better so therefore I will wait until I can’t live without it.

Anyways I am sure you have read enough about the new Google Chrome browser and therefore I am ending this post.

So I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop quick and talk about two top news items today that I thought were worth throwing a quick post up about.

First Google just announced the new analytics–Google Insights. You can read more about the announcement and check out the new tool but here is what I think quick and then I will give you Andy Beal’s post about the topic.
