As proud sponsors of Ignite Portland 9 we were tasked with creating a 30 second promotional video to be played during the event’s intermission at the Bagdad theater. Our original idea was to create a 70’s stylized buddy cop movie trailer with my 1 year old son, but when the “Lil’ Dictator” was more inclined to eat the fake mustache than he was to wear it, we decided to go in a new direction.
While only one of WebRanking’s “two bad brothers you know so well” were available for the filming of the trailer, Tony and I decided to move forward without the “one lone Beastie” and create our own version of Sabotage. While WebRanking certainly have no aspirations of leaving the Search Engine Marketing community after 12 ½ years in order to pursue film making, we did enjoy the process plus it gave me an excuse to sport a mustache for the past couple of months.
The above video is the complete trailer, which is different from the 30 second teaser shown at Ignite Portland 9 and which can be viewed below. Continue reading “Ignite Portland 9 Video | Sabotage: The Movie” »

At WebRanking, we are dedicated to our own continuing education in the industry we have been apart of for over a decade.

Congratulations Chris & Welcome Owen!
On behalf of the entire WebRanking staff, I would like to congratulate Chris Lister and his wife on the birth of their baby boy, Owen. Congratulations and welcome on the new addition! We wish you all a happy and healthy beginning on your new adventure.
My first born is now officially 3 days overdue. Am I patiently waiting? Heck no, not in the least. I’ve seem to have turned into a hyperactive child in need of his Ritalin at the end of a three day candy binge waiting for his habitually late sleeping parents to finally get out of bed on Christmas morning. Except I’m not even sure what day my Christmas is going to fall on. Yeah, I really am that bad off. Continue reading “Patience in Life as in SEO” »

Chris, James & Tony at SMX Advanced 09
Last Monday I made the quick trip up I-5 to Seattle for this year’s SMX Advanced. Not only did this yearly expo provide our management team with an opportunity to meet and network with some of the search industry’s top minds, but to also attend some very informative sessions on Organic, Paid, Social and the Business side of search marketing.
James, Chris and myself will be in Seattle, Monday June 1st thru Thursday the 4th 2009 to attend the SMX Advanced. We are all really excited about attending the conference and a chance to learn some new skills and ideas that we can apply to our clients’ search marketing campaigns to get them better results, and to meet other people in our industry. The conference is 2 full days of speakers and classes, with a few meet and greet evening social interaction sessions. We bought our tickets a month ago, and looking on their site today, the event is all sold out, glad we got our tickets when we did, as the event is only in Seattle once a year.
