Sugarrae - Never Mess With a Woman Who Can Pull Rank

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my feed or subscribe to me on Twitter, which is updated on a more frequent - and more meaningless - basis.

Its that kid again, Michael Streko - the one who was unable to write a post because of some crappy car accident, remember it could have been awesome? Well guess what - its going to be awesome. While Rae is out drinking speaking at the SMX I have invaded her blog for the guestwhore post that should have been…

Sunday, the day of god. The day that was bestowed upon me to take a shot of awesomeness & go down in history as the last guestwhore for guestwhore week round 2. My name is Michael Streko - I work for a SEO company in New York City & a Affiliate Network.

It was going to be amazing, it was going to be ground shattering - the pictures I had made were hysterical, this was my in! At conferences everyone would know me - they would ask to take pictures with me & ask for me to autograph random body parts.

Good day fellow whores friends. While most of you are probably still drooling on your pillows watching Saturday morning cartoons today, I will be wondering who the hell will actually be reading this right now. For those that don’t know me, my name’s Joseph Stein from Area 1 Labs. When I’m not working or watching ingenious infomercial products I always enjoy learning new things or playing some good old Texas Hold’em.

Everyone is constantly saying that you need a business degree to understand how to do business. But I think that is outdated. Trust me when I say that you can learn everything you need to know from your neighborhood whore. So in the spirit of public service, I took it upon myself to get close and personal with some of them and then to report back to my readers. Now, I am not going to say exactly what I did during my time with them, but I think that was $200 well spent.

Hi Sugarrae readers! I’ve prepared something a little less fun today. To make my guest post worthwhile (and to donate about 3,000 words of heavy SEO material to Rae’s blog), we’re going back to SEO Kindergarten to review one of the most basic tenets of SEO – canonicalization (C14N) - in excruciating detail. Examples here include excerpts from one chapter of Advanced URL Management, a work in progress currently looking for a publisher. (If anyone from O’Reilly is reading this – let’s talk)

If you’re in a hurry, skip to the good part. Otherwise, read on. If you’re not interested in SEO, go watch me put mentos up my nose and immerse my head in Diet Coke.

Rae reminded all us whores not to forget introductions… Hello. My name is Ian Ring. I met Sugarrae during a stint working in Guelph a couple of years ago. I build websites long time. My interests include random poetry, building facebook apps, and eating sandwiches. Some of you may know me by a pseudonym. Let’s move on.

Rhea’s required intro:
My name’s Rhea as in Dia-, Gono- and Pizza. [ew] Yeah, my parents doomed me to playground hell. In 2004 I stumbled into the acronym-filled SEO world and have since grown to love it. I write occasionally (emphasis on occasionally) for Search Engine Journal (check it out here) and work full-time as an Internet Marketing Manager for a staffing and recruitment company.

I’m guestwhoring it up, because my buddy, Graywolf wants me to babysit for him and the Mrs at the next Pubcon. Rather than pay for my mad big-sis skills, he begged Rae to give me a shot while she basked in the sun and consumed copious amounts of alcohol. I might have blurred the lines on that, but the point is I’m here and you’re reading this.

If this is entirely incoherent, it isn’t my fault. I blame Lisa. Speaking of which, she’s writing my introduction for me so:

[Hi. I’m not sure how I got commissioned into writing this, but okay. If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out who the hell this Susan Esparza chick is, I’ll help you out. Susan is Senior Editor at Bruce Clay, Inc., which basically means she corrects my blog typos, plays a lot of Scrabulous, and silently resents the attention I get. She’s been at Bruce Clay for 3 years and in her free time collects dolls that cost more than my rent. She doesn’t like to go out in public.

Oh, and I’ll be adding some interjections. I can’t let Susan have the whole spotlight. Huzzah! -- Lisa]

Thank you, oh millstone around my neck. It’s your fault I got tapped to do this in the first place.

Hello everyone,

For those of you that don’t know (and that’s probably all of you), my name is Gyutae Park and I work as a professional SEO at a top agency in New York City (blah blah blah). I also run a blog on Internet marketing strategy at Winning the Web so be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed for some of my online tips and experiences.

Now that I’ve gotten that introduction out of the way, you’re probably wondering who the hell I am and what I’m doing on Rae’s blog. As a matter of fact, I’m not much of a potty mouth so the tone of this post might be completely different from what you might expect here. But hey if Will Smith can sell records without cussing, I think I can manage to make a fool of myself without using the special nouns, adjectives, and verbs that account for a large percentage of Rae’s content in keyword density.

Guestwhore post from TheMadHat

So many moons ago Rea Rae offered to let me be a whore mongering pirate and do a guest post. Well…what the hell am I supposed to write? It had to be something a little different than calling someone a douchebag or teaching you how to piss off the Cutter. Coincidentally this was the same week I purchased my digital HD camcorder so I figured it would be a nice place to do some video publishing.

Once again, I’m away on vacation to the fabulous Dominican Republic - Puerto Plata to be more precise. No kids, no work and a fantastic crew that I’m going with. As with last year - ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Since Guestwhore week last year was such a blast, I decided to do it again, but with the rule that we wanted an all new cast to give some up and comers a chance to be able to let loose. Without further ado, here is the list…
