Speedlink V37/2011, Google+, Social Web, SEO And Guy Kawasaki

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week. On my end, things are finally starting to get better. Got a new ISP, fixed hacked websites and managed to be more active on the social web. Have to admit that it has been a nightmare for the last couple of weeks. We’ll see how it goes 🙂

Anyway, if don’t know already, today marks the official launch of Hesham’s “Best Selling Affiliate Products Blogging Contest”. As with everything Hesham does when hosting contests, this one, is quite interesting due to a number of reasons, the most compelling being the topic. If you like to participate in blogging contests and get the chance to win $1.000, I suggest you head over there to find out more.

BTW, this weeks video is not about Matt Cutts (sorry). Decided to favor Guy Kawasaki’s interview from Chris Brogan. In this interview, among other things, Guy mentions why he favors Google+ over other social media platforms. Must watch.
