Digg!

 

Giving thanks for the kindness of others

Over the last year we have been fortunate to have some great people drop by the FireHorse Trail and I thought to start a page dedicated to them and show my appreciation.

If you haven't met these folks or read their great insights, their posts and personal blogs are listed below;

 

Medical Miracles

These guys all stepped up to the plate when I busted my wing - with a special shout out to Smarty for Twittering my woes which was nice ;0)

The Indirect Value of SMM - Steven Bradely; Van's SEO and Designs
Do you have Blog Insurance? - James Duthie; Online Marketing Banter

Old friends and New

One of the greatest part to sharing space is the chance to have people you meet and know drop by to tell tall tales...

When SEO is all about the bottom line - Steve Gerencser
Plurk; the power of wasting time - Samir Balwani; Left the Box
How to get the most from AdWords Geo-Targeting – Brian Carter; Fuel Interactive

 

Who's next?

... it could BE YOU! As I reach the 2 year anniversary ranting here, one thing that has been great the last while, having others drop by for a ride while regaling stories of search and marketing goodiness. As this blog is a record of my life in many ways, I have been blessed in having such great friends and industry cohorts willing to lend me some precious time... if you're interested in sharing a yarn on the trail; get in touch.

...once again to my past guests, thanks folks - you simply make this a better place for everyone!

Ann Smarty  - Thanks :)     |2008-05-28 06:58:09
I wish I got a link back each time I drop a link on Twitter

Seriously, I didn't expect that! Thank you! Besides, once I didn't have time for a guest post of mine, that was the least I could do... Thank you!
Ann Smarty     |2008-05-28 07:00:08
Ok, I guess that was too many "thank you" for one tiny comment
Dave   |2008-05-28 07:09:03
NP Ann... you got 2 linkies even... but I do appreciate ya'll spreading the word to the TwitterShpere... no too mention your great post.... you are going in the FireHorse Hall of Fame dear...
Bill  - Thank you     |2008-05-28 07:13:57
It's been a real pleasure sharing ideas with you over the past year or so, Dave.

I've learned a lot from your thoughts and opinions here. So, thanks back at you.
Dave   |2008-05-28 07:34:00
Hiya Mr.B - yes it has been a pleasure knowing you fer sure - always nice to talk search geekiness as there aren't many of us out here and it's really not that 'sexy' a topic.

Funny that my guests 'social media' related posts are always better recieved than my boring old SEO stuff... give one a complex if they had an ego... fortunately I care not..love my search

Really liked the patent round up idea BTW... too much to cover out there....
Gab Goldenberg  - Shady?   |2008-05-28 14:21:56
I think, as I notice once again your awesome RSS icon, that you need to do a piece with Slightly Shady SEO. He's a smart guy and you guys would have a great conversation, I'm sure.

Besides, that, I appreciate this not just for the links to my site, but for helping me find other quality guest pieces I hadn't noticed!

Cheers
Gab
Dave   |2008-05-28 14:51:36
Aaahh yes... I have harrassed the big M on a few occasions... maybe when School is out he will have the time...

As for the other entries, glad you found some goodies. Highlighting them was really the point of saying tnx
James Duthie     |2008-05-28 16:03:21
The pleasure is all ours Dave. Thanks again for the opportunity.
Garrett Pierson  - Great Group of Peeps     |2008-05-29 08:44:23
Dave,

What a great group of people. The SEO industry is somewhat small but we are strong!

Thanks
Dave   |2008-05-29 10:24:11
Lol... getting smaller Garrett - seems Social Media is just too sexy and many have left the search world to play in the land of dreamers and schemers...

I hope to add to this great list as others take the plunge and play with me here on the trail....
