A Grammar Lesson From Danny Sullivan
Danny has been on a tear as of late. In the latest post from his new blog, he points out some grammar issues in the DOJ Google subpoena. 
SEM Quarterly Print Magazine?
Shortly after finishing reading Rand’s comments on yet another inaccurate lame ass article about SEM written by someone who has no clue, I found this in my inbox:
Matt Cutts On SEO Rockstars
I’m thrilled to announce that Matt Cutts will be joining us on SEO Rockstars this coming Tuesday. (4:00 pm Pacific Time). Matt’s agreed to consider answering whatever questions (other than Google vs. the government) we can come up with, so if you have some SEO questions you’d like us to ask, go ahead and post them either here, or on Todd’s blog.
Link Data and Drunken Whores
Google is now showing anywhere between 450,000 and 2,700,00 pages (depending on the data center) for v7ndotcom elursrebmem.
The backlink data for the top 10 is now starting to show some interesting stuff like blog spam and some user-agent cloaking.
John Scott was also gracious enough to add me to his list of recommended blogs (using the anchor text "drunken whore")
Thank’s John.
MSN Doesn’t Love Me Anymore
I just received a "Dear John" letter from my buddies at MSN Search:
Greg,
Thank you for expressing interest in attending MSN Search Champs v4. Unfortunately, due to a huge amount of very qualified responses, we are unable to extend invitations to everyone that wanted to attend. However we are already planning for Champs v5, so keep an eye out for future opportunities to join us in Redmond.
As we noted in our privacy policy, we are not keeping your survey information on file for any future events or contact.
Again, thanks for your interest and we hope to see you at a future Champs!
Now, I’m not really upset that they found somone to replace me. But I do think as a 2-time Search Champ I could have at least received a personal email telling me they don’t love me anymore. Getting the same auto-genrated rejection notice that was sent out to the hundreds of new people who applied just hurts. I thought our relationship was deeper than that….
