Just a quick cross post to Fused Nation. I wrote this post today that focuses on some of the sins made by SEOs writing copy for their agency or consultancy sites, but I think there are some good general points in there for anyone writing sales copy.

I’m conscious I haven’t been posting nearly as much as intended for which I apologise for – just been insanely busy with setting up some new sites and doing some consultancy work.
I’ll be speaking to an agency this week about hiring someone to write a few blog posts for Blogged Out and some of my other blogs (kinda hard to find decent copywriters these days) which should keep the action going. But on top of that I do want to bring my own “flavour” to the blog as well – I have a few topics I’m working on, but I thought it was worth putting the feelers out and seeing if anyone has anything they’d particularly like me to post about? Answers on a postcard… 
Cheers

Not a full post here, but I thought I’d point out an article I wrote on my SEO blog which has sparked a few comments – feel free to pop along and chip in.
I don’t really like summary type posts, but I had intended starting off my takeover of Blogged Out with a decent summary post so here it is. Basically, a list of other articles, blog posts and discussions that have grabbed my attention over the past few months. Continue reading
Apologies for the delays in any decent posts – had a million things on lately so haven’t really got round to blogging much anywhere, but planning on getting back to it soon. Also apologies for any comments that were held in moderation for too long – the spam queues are getting bigger each day and I didn’t have much time to sort them out. All up to date now!

The latest Adsense incarnation – rounded corners – nice! About time Google got out of the dark ages and realised that angular ad placements are sooooo last decade! 
Not exactly groundbreaking, but I do like the change – the whole Adsense-badly-implemented-and-looking-crap thing wasn’t doing it for me. I think these will help ads stand out a little better and help with click throughs.
I realise this has been out for a few months new, but I don’t really use Adsense that much and I confess – I just discovered it! It got me thinking – what other hidden gems have I been missing out on?
Anyone care to share there most useful titbit of 2007 so far?

Entirely my fault – been busy with work so the transfer took a little longer than anticipated, but it’s all done now.
Soooo….I’m Scott, 28 from Edinburgh and as Darren mentioned in his last post, I’m an SEO and have been for 6 years now. I started off in SEO when I setup a small site of my own and fell into a job with a SEO agency and haven’t looked back since. 2 years ago I left a job with a different agency to freelance and work on my projects and here we are!
I’d love to hear from everyone who visits Blogged Out regularly – what do you do, what would you like to see here?
Being an SEO, I’ll be focusing some posts on SEO for blogs, but I’m hoping to keep things a little more general than focus too much on SEO, so I’ll also be covering some other areas.
So just a quick hi from me – looking forward to hearing from you all!
Scott
