Last Sunday I learned there is a specific Neighborhood in San Francisco with a big Hellenic Heritage. It’s a part of SOMA where Greek immigrants settled in the early 1900’s. I learned this by paying attention to the signs and plagues placed on the sides of the streets to remind people what has happened in the past. […]
Another Day, Another Drama in SEO Land
Sometimes you wonder if we, SEO’s, should all come together and just start ignoring these kind of link bait posts. I’m talking about the article from Paul Boag at Smashing Magazine today with the title: The Inconvenient Truth about SEO. To avoid playing into Paul’s cards, I’m not linking to his article, but instead linking to the […]
Google Dance 2007 T-Shirt
Back in 2007, at the SES San Jose, I picked up the T-Shirt I was wearing today. I believe it must have been the last Google Dance at a large search marketing conference. The SES in San Jose in 2007 has gone down in history as the point Google brought down the hammer on Paid […]
Local SEO Travel Guides or Great UX
Three weeks ago, I wrote a post of my move to join Airbnb. Then I got a major shout out for a new product of Airbnb launched just a couple of weeks ago, the local travel guides for Neighborhoods. I wish I could take that much credit, but these Neighborhood guides were already in the […]

OMG I Joined AirBnB
OMG, just like that, I switched jobs! Just after 14 months I’m moving from Geeknet, to AirBnB to head up their Global SEO efforts. New Adventures Begin With my departure from eBay last year, after almost 10 years, I got the chance to see different companies from up close. Geeknet was somewhat familiar territory, as […]
How To Become a San Francisco Hipster
A couple of weeks ago I made some radical changes. I shaved my head with an electric hair clipper and for fun I groomed my unshaved face with a moustache. I could only do this because my family was still spending time back in The Netherlands. The first time my daughter saw me on Skype, she started […]
Dreamforce 2012 San Francisco Traffic Nightmare
Another week, another technology conference. Just short of a week after the announcement of the iPhone 5 by Apple, is now SalesForce taking up the whole of the Moscone Center in San Francisco for their yearly Dreamforce conference. The city of San Francisco is probably very happy right now with SalesForce. Not only do they […]
Google Plus Growth through Fembots
According to this article of TheNextWeb, Google plus shows healthy growth, with more than 400 million activated profiles, and 100 million monthly active users. How the active user is defined, I’m not sure, as Google keeps the definition unclear. I, for one, am usually always logged into my Google account, which would make me an […]
