		<description>Thanks Dave

TBH I don't half as much time these days to do the networking stuff. Which is a shame, because that's where most of the real value lies, both in terms of lead generation and research/education. Not to mention I'm not picking up half as many new in-bound links as I used to and my rankings are getting hit as a result. Not affecting business too much :)

		<description>Hi guys thanks for the thoughts, did you guys get a trackback notification? Didn't think you got that for incoming blog homepage links.

Well anyhow I replied with a two liner, basically informing him that in fact it was spelt correctly and that he really shouldn't be wasting my time. I didn't point him in the direction of this post though. Perhaps he'll stumble on it.

I don't suppose Google is helping at the moment either though, it always tries to suggest 'optimization' when I type in 'optimisation' even when I'm on Google.ie or Google.co.uk. Surely Google has a passport?

Richard congratulations on your very successful year of blogging as noted by your recent post @ http://www.redcardinal.ie/google/18-07-2007/red-cardinal-is-one-yo-today/ - Noticed your a PR 6 already. I think where my blogging fails short is my consistency and of course the networking element, I don't get around to other peoples blogs as much as I should.</description>

		<description>Hi Dave, yea, I get these ALL the time. Usually in the form of:

"How do you expect to get SEO clients if you cannot even spell optimization correctly? I went to analyze your site and while I like the color scheme and content, you don't know how to spell! I don't want to start an argument, but what is your defense?"

I stopped replying at this stage.</description>
