Dean - Time is a valuable resource.  I try to stay focused in my social media interactions and when using sites like Facebook I really only interact with true friends.

Diane - I feel your pain.  If only we could add hours to our days.  Twitter is a fun and easy to use social media site.  There are always some fun posts.

Larry - Keep up the SEO it will pay off.  There are lots of great resources on AR.

Elizabeth - Thanks and best wishes to you with your SEO and Twittering efforts.

JB - Thanks.  Keep working on the SEO you will see a return on your efforts.

Michael - That is amazing.  There are some great SEO folks here on AR.

Kathleen - Don't get overwhelmed.  Take it one day at a time and your efforts will pay off.  SEO and social media change daily so just take it day by day.

Kay - If done right SEO will work but it is a daily battle so don't give up the good fight.

Erica - Yep things they are a changing.  Technology is not going away and everyone uses the internet these days.  If your not online you might as well not exists.

Beth - Sorry about leaving off the definition.  Good luck with your blogging and SEO efforts. I am almost at a point where I don't need sleep (if only...)

Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting.

Carolyn - Those are great calls and usually more qualified folks too.  There even better when they say something like "I read your article on..."

Joan - This is definitely a balancing act.  For me it is about finding what you enjoy and focus your time.  Of course you have to make sure the time is well spent so sending hours on MySpace and Facebook is probably less valuable then spending the same time on a site like AR.

Jacqulyn - Completely agree.  You need to test different sites and find what works.

David - Thanks

John - I agree.  I don't think you can have the same success by just using one site.  Each site offers something unique.  It pays to plant more then one seed,

Christine - Time management is the biggest challenge with all this.  You still need to run your business or do your job.  You can start sleeping less... of course that is not a long term solution.

Missy - You mean you didn't accept my Facebook friend request.  I am crushed...Your doing the right thing.  Social media for me is about the connections and relationships.

Christina - Completely agree.  AR is great and there are tons of resources for anyone who spends the time exploring.

Ilyce - Thanks it was a very rewarding week both personally and professionally.

Russ - We all need more time.  Wish I could help on that one.  I just sleep a little less each day.

Jeremy,

The WSJ was more coincidence then anything else.  I thought it was a great example of how SEO help can pay off.  It is all about the terms people search.  Thanks for the compliment.

Troy - Thanks for the note.  Keep up the work.  New relationships will blossom and your network will grow. Remember to give more then you get and you will benefit.  If you want to talk about your site and SEO drop me a direct message and we can find a time to talk.

James, Social media and blogging are good ways to build links but I am not sure what you mean by defendable link building.  Can you explain?

James - gotcha.  Makes sense. That is the only sort of linking that makes sense long term. Thanks.
