Why It’s Been So Quiet Around Here

by Matt on Sep 26, 2008 in General

quiet pleaseOne: Because I’ve spent most of this week at the Small Business Marketing Unleashed conference in Columbus, where I gave three presentations over two days. One of my goals for 2009 is to successfully pitch one of the marketing conferences on the idea of doing a presentation about local blogging. Cross your fingers for me. :)

Two: Because I’m going through some career changes. As of the beginning of this week, I’m open for business as an independent SEO and marketing consultant. (I can also provide training to folks who want to learn to do it themselves.) And next week I’ll be starting to help Search Engine Land as its new Assignment Editor.

Three: Because much of my free time has been focused on developing ideas to promote my soon-to-be-published book, U2 – A Diary.

Four: Because, with all this going on simultaneously, I just haven’t had much time to blog, either here or on our hyperlocal blogs. :(

On the bright side, I began a post on the flight home from Columbus that should make an appearance in this space in the next couple days. Look for things to slowly get back to normal, and thanks for sticking around in my recent absence!

    I figured as much, Matt. Take it easy. Your schedule is no joke.

    Rest assured, Hyperlocalblogger.com sits in an honored spot in my feedreader and I check every day to see if it’s bolded. I’ll read what you have to say at any time, when you find the time.
