I know I said I’ll be posting more often, but it takes some time getting used to the new life: waking up at 11 am, yawning for 10 minutes, getting myself motivated for working, actually working and so on. It’s something on the softer side of life, so bare with me…

I just came from seing a cheezy comedy, What happens in Vegas, which turned out surprinsingly well. In this movie, this chick gets dumped by her boyfriend and decides to go to Vegas, where, whilst drunk, marries a stranger. To get straight to the point, she realizes she’s always trying to please others and forgets how to be herself. Basically, it’s a movie about following your instincts, doing what you love and going after those you love.

Probably one of the reasons I seldom post here, although I have an idea every once or two days is the lack of time.I am caught up with work and some projects aside which I really love (the latter part that is). If you have been following me on twitter, you know what happened these recent days. After more than a year of doing SEO in one of the dullest industries you can come across, I’m moving towards what I love, which is web 2.0 and social media.

It’s a big step considering I have been working for 2-3 years for different companies. I can now choose where I work from, when I do it and what I want to do. My plans are pretty clear at this moment: write more on my blogs, take on more projects, write more linkbaits, contribute more to social media (just passed the 9,000 pages milestone on StumbleUpon) and take some more for myself. Plan on meeting new people, traveling more and just seeing how far I can go.

I’ll still be online most of the day and night active on digg, stumbleupon, reddit and the others, writing, chatting and blogging. So hope to meet new people and strenghten the relationship with my existing friends. Looking forward to a happy, productive summer! Thanks to all the friends that support me now and in the past!

I have recently did a guest post for Daniel from DailyBlogTips.com. This article continues the topic about StumbleUpon spring cleaning I have already tackled. After banning users that only stumble upon spam and commercial content, StumbleUpon is now going after spam websites.

Seems that the social media environment will be a cleaner one.

I am trying to get a constant rate of updating this blog, but I am caught up with some other projects I am really excited about. But have some ideas in mind, I’ll keep you posted!

I was talking about a SEO strategy with a client when I was hit with one of the most absurd offers I ever came across. Indeed, SEO is a job where you cannot really make promises because there are a lot of unknown factors in the ecuation. This is a follow-up to another post I did about SEO and social media services that promises but don’t promise but don’t deliver, but this time with a twist: outrageous prices for practically useless things.

It seems there are a lot of clients with practically no SEO experience that believe that such a service is generally worth over $2000. Otherwise, I cannot explain the crazy offer that follows :
