Few days ago I was looking for some online service or software for checking individual Google Pagerank of my web pages.
Of course, you can do that with Google Toolbar, but it’s time consuming - you have to manually open every single page.
Finally I found this service - http://www.mypranalyzer.com/multiple-pagerank-checker.php , it will let you check individual PR of 100 web pages at one time.
Today’s guest at MikeShakin.com - Daniel Scocco, famous blogger from Brazil, author of Dailyblogtips.com. I think that Daniel is one of the best bloggers around. I appreciate that Daniel took time to answer my questions.
Thanks for talking with us, Daniel. You’re a blogging celebrity, but what about regular Daniel? Where do you live? What do you do in your spare time? Give us a glimpse into your non-blogging life.
I don’t share too much of my personal life online, because I figure it would bother people to death….
But since you are asking, I am a 26 year old guy currently living in Brazil. Most of my day is spent working. When I am not online I am either training (weight-lifting and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), playing the saxophone, or going out with friends.
Could you explain how you became a full-time blogger?
Back in 2005 when I got my degree in International Economics I was left with a big document that I had prepared for my thesis. I had put a lot of effort into researching and writing it out, but I was sure that apart from myself only two people would end up reading it, my teacher and my father….
Instead of letting the document sit idle and gather dust, therefore, I decided to chop it off into small articles and publish them on the web.
A few days ago Google has announced new service - Google Buzz. It appears now in every Gmail account. Since then, millions of Gmail users have checked Buzz out.
More than 9 million of posts and comments were created for the first two days after launching Google Buzz.
So how will Google Buzz help your search marketing efforts?
Let’s start with the obvious. Buzz is completely new tool that helps you create your own social network based on your Gmail contacts. It will also help you to increase the audience of your blog.
Google Buzz allows users to post views and share it with the public or a specific group. You can create a buzz by boosting the views with images, videos and link extensions.
Today’s guest at MikeShakin.com is Loren Baker, Editor in Chief of world famous SEO resource Search Engine Journal. This interview was originally given for my Russian blog Shakin.ru but i decided to publish it’s English version on this blog. I appreciate that Loren took time to answer my questions.
Loren, thanks for the interview. When did you first get involved with search marketing?
Thanks for interviewing me. I first got involved with search marketing in 1999 when I was a university student. I was looking for an internship in advertising and marketing as I was majoring in both fields. A lot of students were taking jobs at large businesses, but I found an opportunity interning for a small online marketing consultant, and took a chance in a field which was it its infancy at the time, but I knew it would be a challenge and would result in a lot of opportunity.
Now, search marketing is a huge industry and almost all businesses use search to gain customers or sell products. It was a good choice.
How many hours do you work daily and what are your daily tasks?
I really do not clock my hours, but I would guess that I more or less work about 12 hours a day.
I usually wake up in the morning and check email, reply to tweets, check rankings, analytics and drink coffee for about an hour. then I review blog posts in draft mode on Search Engine Journal, moderate comments, track search news and view some forums for another hour or so.
