Time for a round-up of some of my favourite things on t’internet this week.  I’ll be trying to make this a regular weekly thing from now on, but I’m making no promises if I miss one from time to time.

Let’s start with a bit of shameless self-promotion

I did my first guest post this week on SEO-Scoop so, naturally, I want everybody to go over there and read my delightful tale of Dr. Strangelink, or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the Googlebomb.  But then come back and read the rest of this.

Hot pics of teenage (SEO-)Chicks!

Taking her inspiration from my SEO is like High School post, LisaD has gathered up some snapshots of the SEO-Chicks from their high school years and has now started a High School Meme to try and get other SEO bloggers to do the same.  And she’s tagged me for it.  Damn you Ditlefsen!  Now I’m gonna have to go digging around looking for pictures from an era I’d just as soon forget (I was a FAT kid) and I’ll have to finally get round to sorting out avatar pics for Sphinn, Twitter etc (just to prove that I’m not fat anymore )

While we’re on the subject of linkbait

Jane and Rand from SEOmoz managed to RickRoll the internet with their post about Google Onebox results that should be, but aren’t, real.  Once you’ve checked out the original post and finished chuckling about the things Rick Astley would never do, have a look at Jane’s follow-up post to see just what the effects of a truly successful piece of linkbait look like.  Makes my SEO High School post look positively wimpy by comparison.

Darren Rowse - ProSpeedBlogger

Darren’s come up with a rather novel challenge for himself.  He’s collected a bunch of questions from his followers on Twitter and over the next couple of days will be answering them all, with the self-imposed limitation of only being able to spend 3 minutes writing each reply.
PS It’s his birthday on Sunday, so Happy Birthday Darren!

How to spot a Real SEO

John Carcutt gives a really funny and (seemingly) accurate list of 14 Things You Didn’t Know About Real SEOs.  Seems like I manage to tick most of the boxes, but I had no idea about the SEO Sex Tape.  Still I’m new, so there’s still time to find out ;-).

Not at all search-related, but just plain funny

Last Sunday was 20/04/08 to those of us in parts of the world that drive on the correct (i.e. left-hand) side of the road, but to our American-style date-formatting brethren that means it was 4/20 and that’s kind of a big deal to a certain (*cough cough*) segment of the community.
The Funny or Die Blog posted their (anonymous) celebrations of 4/20 and @ShoeMoney Twittered the link for this BOTW collection of 4/20 related Top 10s.
Snootch to tha mutha-fuggin’ nootch!

Enjoy your weekend kids.
