A few months ago I decided to turn my blog into a do-follow blog to see if it helps increase activity, but honestly I can't really say how much it's helped or not. Sure, I've gotten some spam comments, but I always remove them. Just because it's a do-follow blog doesn't mean I have to approve every comment or allow every link. However, I have a moral question for all you bloggers.

Not long ago I had the opportunity to go to my first Internet marketing conference in May at the Search & Social Spring Summit ; and to my second one in July to BlueGlass LA . They were great experiences and I was really excited for both. I was going to finally get to meet a lot of the people I had met online and get to hear some awesome speakers. But like some first time conference goers, I was a little nervous about it.

I work as an in-house SEO for a company that has a good-sized website, just over 150,000 pages and growing. I'm one of few people in the company whose job it is to daily review our web stats, and suggest changes we need to implement. But with a site this big, it's pretty daunting. After swallowing some pride, I was pleased to hear we had a company to consult with on larger projects so I could stay focused on other tasks. Everything has been going okay so far,
