If you have not run into PixelHead, henceforth referred to as Adam, the fact that you are reading this means you now have, sorta. I ran into Adam early when I was just starting my blog, and all the while I’ve found that I enjoy his posts. For several reasons.
One, he writes on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques and practices. What is that you might ask? Well, what SEO entails is creating web pages (or blog posts, one in the same right?) that are optimized for the best ranking possible in any given search engine. There are always little things that you can do to help you out on this front. These efforts are complimentary to what I write about also, so once you figure out how to build your blog or web site here, you can also use his site to help you optimize it for search engines.
Search engine traffic can account for a good percentage of the traffic your blog or web site receives. Ignoring this means that you could be leaving some traffic on the table as it were. Why not put out a little effort to best prepare your site for the traffic you may get from there?
Just take a look at one of his recent posts titled “Ways to Get Your Website Indexed Fast – FREE Links with Possible High PR!“. He’s literally telling you where to go to help get your site spidered more often with the potential of placing links on some very high PageRank sites!
The second reason I like his site is because he writes on environmental issues. I’ve never fancied myself an environmentalist, and the trail of litter behind me only proves that. However, in light of my aging and the impending world doom, I’ve decided to at least become more aware of those little things that I can do to lessen my burden on the earth. I don’t plan to have any children, so I’m doing this for everyone else’s children, yours included. Ain’t I a nice guy? (Don’t answer that)
Adam also runs a web directory where you can submit your link for inclusion into his directory. This isn’t a free service and there are submission guidelines as well. However the cost is quite affordable from what I’ve seen around the web.
Please check out Adam’s site. If you are interested in learning more about SEO practices and care for the environment, his blog is a great place to get some really good ideas for both. An easy way to do this is to subscribe to his feed.
I would also like to mention that Adam had nothing to do with this post, he didn’t pay for it, nor did he ask for it. I simply wanted to give back where I could to someone that has helped me learn more about some aspects of web site optimization that I haven’t had time to dig into. It’s my way of saying thank you.
Thanks a bunch Adam for all those ideas and tips! I’m glad to have met you online and keep those tips coming!

Alright, for those that care for pete’s sake, hahahaha.
I was going to post on that, yeah saw that and thought ‘you have to be kidding me…’ and decided not to read it. I couldn’t bear the thought of a murdered kitty, even an avatar version I guess. lol
I really don’t worry about ranking and all that as I don’t sell anything and couldn’t care less. Last time I checked I was number one position on Google big whoop.
Did you hear about the gal who murdered her online husbands’ avatar. She had to hack his account hence got into trouble. A virtual Lorana Bobbit no? Or as Arnold would say “you’ve been virtually erased”.
You missed Missy she’s been hiding under the bed. I’ll see is I can get a picture of her for Halloween and post it.
I’m sure we can think of plenty of names to call you! Shall we begin? hahaha
I’ve been called a lot of things, but never pixelhead, lol !
I thought you deserved it. After all, you came to me with ideas and suggestions without me asking, and it’s helped out. For that, being proactive and seeing some small things that I can do to change for the better, I appreciate it and wanted to give back to you.
I’m constantly trying to learn more and more about my field and related ares, SEO being one of them. So any help you throw my way is greatly appreciated. I hope this serves as a way of bringing new people to your blog who are interested in the same.
Wow, nice post Wayne…I am speechless.
I do have a bit of knowledge in the SEO realm, but I try not portray myself as an expert as there is always someone else with a bit more knowledge. All I need to do is look over to my right and look at my wife, whom I work with, to see someone who is vastly more knowledgeable than I in quite a few areas…on-page SEO being one of the big ones.
Gary, I was checking out your blog. I really like your writing voice…keep it up. SEO is something that you should keep in mind when writing your posts, but don’t let it control or distort your voice.
Like everything in this world, one size does not fit all, but there is always something to take away I think. The problem I find is that I usually get a mixture of ‘I already know this’ or ‘I don’t know this’ type posts when I look at it from a learning perspective. Adam gives SEO advice which is a skill I have been lacking (also marketing).
However, because he also blends in environmental topics, I get two topics I’m interested in from someone that enjoys what he does. And your right, he does know what he’s doing. Methinks so at least.
He also does these videos that I’ve been taking notes on how he evolves that skill, because one day I’ll want to do something like that perhaps.
I’m sorry you found some issue Gary!
tried to sign up for some of those free links he offers but guess I don’t qualify as I only have a PR of 3, and the one site that allows page rank of two , required me to mess with my template code—-which I don’t care to mess with. but it sounds like he knows what he is doing.
