April 3rd, 2009 SEO and Internet Marketing Training
In the last week I completed my “Master and Advanced Skills” training in SEO and internet marketing with the Bay Area Search Engine Academy. I was very fortunate to have Thomas Petty (no, not that Tom Petty) as my instructor for four days of intensive and yes FUN schooling. As a result, I am stamped, embossed and officially certified as an “SEO Expert” by way of the Search Engine Academy. I am excited about all the information that has been downloaded into my brain and I have been putting all that data to use by creating a new site Internet Marketing Help. It is the new direction for my consulting and design business as well as, I feel, the ONLY way to do SEO. Organically and in the “white hat” tradition. As Tom says… “With a lot of hard work and a little time” I’ll get you ranked higher!

I’d definetly go with the handle idea. Its what I do, and after a while it just becomes your name anyway.
Me personally, I use all the browsers, each for different reasons.
I use firefox for my day to day activites, especially websurfing.
IE to check up on firefox and do my banking.
I use Opera when I think I am doing too much in Firefox or am visiting risky pages. I use Flock for my social networking and blogging. I just haven’t made it to Chrome yet, and with all my supercool firefox extensions, I may not.
Privacy, is not going to be found at your computer with a service being provided by an ISP that records everything, it is in your head. Main reason I use a handle, VizFact, you get the real name when its justified only, or if you subpeona or hack my ISP. Now if you are signing me over a check, you can have my SSN, lol.
As far as internet marketing goes, I prefer the handle because of all the promoting, posting and social interactions, you just don’t know who you are dealing with. As a professional debt collector, I can get your life story with simply a last name and a city, and maybe a third peice of reference information like a zip code or area code. I always sign out of google when performing search engine queries.
