I thought it was time I gave a proper update here, I’ve been very remiss about blogging – more on that in another post to follow. It’s been a very busy couple of weeks at LogOn.ie with lots going on. I hope to be able to announce some very positive news for the company at the end of this week so stay tuned!
What has kept me off the blog in the last week or so? Two weeks ago I was…
- Last Thursday week speaking about SEO and Internet Marketing at the Online Edge Seminar hosted by Digiweb Hosting (thanks Emma for a great organisational job).
- Travelling to Galway on Saturday morning train for a truly superb Barcamp Galway (again thanks to the organisational guys at DERI and everyone else involved).
- I gave a talk on SEO including about dodgy SEO cowboys, link building and the Wizards
ThirdFirst Rule “People believe lies they want to be true” - Great evening in the pub on Saturday night (of course including making sure we spent 100% of LogOn.ie’s share of the sponsorship in the pub)
- I’ll write up more on Barcamp Galway later.
This week extracurricular activities included:
- Creating a 25 page formal proposal document including concept art in 24 hours. Huge thanks to Dimitar for getting exceptional artwork on time (as usual). Huge thanks also to Sinéad, Pauline and Kylie for the real work of getting the document worded and formatted correctly: we simply wouldn’t have made the deadline without your help, you guys rock!
- Flying to Zurich at short notice late in the week and getting a train down to Geneva for a couple of meetings to discuss the proposal (getting the train was much better than flying the short hop like I did last time)
- After wrapping up business I got to spend Saturday night at the Neuchatel Wine Festival (what a great party experience – these guys would teach the Irish a thing or 2 on running a party)
- 3 hours sleep later, up at 8am Sunday to catch the TGV to Paris
- After 5 hours we arrived in Paris on time to the minute, TGV rocks!
- Headed over to Parc des Princes to watch Ireland vs Argentina (you can find my rant about Ireland’s RWC07 performance elsewhere)
- Flying back in Dublin Tuesday morning via Ryanair (always an interesting experience in itself).
That’s not everything I’ve been up to, but it’s definitely a good cross-sample. I now have a new plan.

Dodgy SEO cowboys and People believe lies they want to be true.” both sound like very interesting topics. Any chance of future posts about them?
You sound like you have been extremely busy. I find your blog very informative and will use your SEO tips.
Thank you for the dofollow

Wow. Seems like a lot of work! SEO is a tough matter that seems to be the big buzzword for seminars and presentations. SEO is very important for the web. Glad to see people talking about it more.
Traveling wears me out BIG TIME…. I think your new plan is great ;)
Damn…ur crazy busy. lol.
I don’t comment too much, but I’ve been reading it for the past week or so.
Love the tips you given so far.
Keep em coming..

Wow, that’s a pretty busy schedule. Good thing you have pretty good time management. A week of sleep sounds like a pretty sweet plan.
Best of luck on your plans!
I hope you are able to juggle everything while keeping it all balanced! :-)
Insightful information- thanks a lot for the post.
