I’ve made it a point not to read too far into my notes from SMX until next week when I’ll start blogging more in depth posts… but I simply can’t resist the temptation tonight to just address the holier than though attitude practiced by some wikipedians. So, if you’re a wikipedia volunteer, editor or admin… please listen up. I understand that your time is valuable.

Apparently today is the day to discuss landing pages. At the office we’ve been proactive in studying landing pages for both organic and paid search purposes. Hell, we even launched a long awaited microsite for our clients to profit from…. though, it did come about three months after we had hoped. Why?
