Let me start by letting you know that I’m not forgetting about my beloved Star Trek. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched my copy of Into Darkness. But something else has captured my attention this week, and we should all be afraid—very afraid.
Season 4 of The Walking Dead premieres this Sunday! In honor of the return of one of my favorite shows, I decided to try to “dead” myself. Alas, my blasted helmet got in the way!

Oh well, I’ll still be tuning in this Sunday, even if some of the other members of the pit crew prefer their TV characters alive rather than dead. (I have it on good authority that Kathy would much rather catch the latest episode of Downton Abbey. Where have I gone wrong?!?) In the meantime, get your fill of some good reads on analytics, link building, SEO, and content marketing.
