Brian McCullough

Ok guys its been a few months since I first wrote about personal SEO and now it is time to reveal my result. The results you are about to see have been up for several weeks, however, I am just now getting around to recording them today. What I did to impove personal SEO and SEM for Brian McCullough “bpmccullough”

1. Setup & Posted a few blogs ( This is one of them ; ) )
2. Created accounts on several networking web
   1. http://my.mashable.com/bpmccullough (One of my Favs.)
   2. MY BAD!!! My accounts will not be as affective because I did NOT fill in all the info in my accounts. I plan on filling in all the info and using the services, however, some just make it too hard to conveniently use them. A good example is twitter.com I can update my twitter account (twitter.com/mccullough) through their website, the normal way, on my phone via SMS, through Google Talk and one of the most unique ways is, via my URL field in Firefox, those are just a few ways that I twitter. A poor example of user convenience is Vox, I hate posting this about Vox because I really like their website and business model but, why would I use their service if I already have a blog? Few other blogging website have answered that question by allowing you to syndicate your primary blog on their blog section allowing you to utilize their services. Vox does do this, however, they only let you syndicate Live Journal and TypePad. WHY? I mean just allow me to use my RSS feed, come on guys. Again this is why I like Mashable because they let you include a small part of every network I us, all in one place and although I wish for more interaction at least I am reminded that I have an account with like 20 networks and need to fill the accounts with information about me.
