Hey Stoney … congrats on the event. Any one blogging it?
I’ve read a good review of your PDF book from Andy Beal’s blog. Now I have to finally get my hands on it.
February 9th, 2007 at 6:21 amThanks. It’s pretty much a local event so I have not seen much about it except for a few others speaking.
I’ll give you a special deal on the book… only $19.95! But wait, there’s more. You get to give it a good review TOO!
February 9th, 2007 at 8:55 amStoney … are we talking about the same thing? The Keyword Research book is free, no?
The other book I gave you a review for
February 9th, 2007 at 9:01 amYes, its free. I was kidding.
