There are two kinds of people in this world: those who pick up the phone and call support, and those who dont. My husband sits squarely in the latter category he will exhaust every resource known to man before hell get to the point where hell seek out a phone number.

We cant tell you what it is just yet, but its coming soon and were going to need the help of three Find a Pro members )i.e. those who have passed the Accredited Professional exam and have opted in to the Find a Pro directory( to get it off the ground. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to dedicate a few hours each week during the month of March to share your SEM expertise. To whom,

Its that time of year again. Your holiday vacation is over, but youre already looking forward to the next one if you live in the colder climates, no doubt youre daydreaming of someplace warm and sunny. Although it might be.
