Quantum of Solace

Me and my wife Natasa went to see the new bond movie quantum of solace on it’s release date this friday just gone (for me it was mostly to avoid having to deal with all the fucking trick or treat armys of council benefit scroungers in the area).

I pre-booked the tickets on the Vue website, and we popped off to the pub beforehand just after work as my wife works for a cool company that has company drinks every month where everyone gets to socialise and enjoy time outside of work together, you know, one of those companies that gives a fuck about it’s employees, before you ask no she does not work for Google.

Anyway back to the movie, although I booked tickets in advance the seating for movies in the UK is not on a booked seat basis its just find what you can when you get in there. So having arrived 10 mins before the start time (including all the shitty adverts that you pay to see…) we find ourselves in the main screen in row two, so pretty much litterally in screen 1.

There is so much hype here about this film and I didnt see what the hell it’s all about the film had the most sudden ending ever and I felt like it had at least another half an hour to run, there looked to be some good action scenes in it but when you are in row two everything it just a blur when it comes to fast action scenes… we got home and I was releved to see that Haloween had come and gone only to see a programme about QoS on the TV… I felt englightened to what I had missed… looked like the action scenes were indeed very good. But what happened to the end of the movie?…

I paid for and downloaded Wordtrackers Kick-Ass keywords last week and I must say its pretty impressive. I found lots of “outside the box” thinking for coming up with more “kick ass” keyword strategies.

The book is also co-authored by a renowned SEO expert Aaron wall a name with his quality of reputation in the field of SEO should speak for itself about the book quality.

So I have to say out of all the internet marketing books I have owned over the last couple years this new one is definately the most comprehensive. I highly recommend it.

Keyword research tool Wordtracker has invited one of the smartest SEOs on the planet, Aaron Wall to create a powerful new e-book, “50 Kick-Ass Keyword Strategies” focused on simple, smart and speedy ways to use keywords to attract more customers online.

50 Kick-Ass Keyword Strategies” is packed with pointed, practical tips that focus on what today’s online marketers care about most: getting real PROFIT from keywords.

“We wanted to create a simple, readable book that got people buzzing with fresh keyword ideas — ideas they could start using right away to improve their business profit. And knowing how busy people are, we insisted that Aaron cut out the fluff and get to the meat of what you really need to know.” said Ken McGaffin CMO Wordtracker.com

“Online success is not so much about spending tons of money, but more about working hard to come up with unique, creative and useful ideas that attract and engage your audiences,” said Aaron Wall.

This practical and inspiring e-book gives businesses of all sizes lessons and insights that includes:

  • Clever, little-known strategies for getting more valuable website visitors.
  • Outwitting competitors, and impressing clients with surefire ways to skyrocket their website traffic.
  • How to reach beyond the obvious keywords to discover terms and phrases with untapped commercial value.
  • How getting rid of words like free and discount can boost your conversion rates and get better customers.
  • How mining analytics data can be the key to uncovering valuable, low-competition keywords that bring in valuable streams of traffic.
  • How a site’s search box is the key to finding profitable new keywords and content ideas as well as ideas for new products to add to a website.

“It’s not just the right keywords that guarantee your online success – but how you use them. Most marketers tend to blindly follow the same, tired research path that everybody else follows. As a result, they miss out on all of the traffic and profits that some clever keyword thinking could bring them.” added Wall.

Concentrate on the four dots in the middle of the picture below for about 10 seconds.

Then close your eyes and tilt your head back.

Keep them closed. You will see a circle of light, continue looking at the circle…

What did you see?
