When I saw a Google Alert on my name just now and found myself at Bloglist: Marshall Sponder in Practical ECommerce; I almost forgot that I gave an interview to Practical ECommerce about 9 months ago (and totally forgot about it).
Actually, the interview with me was published in July, but for some reason, I didn't find out about it till now – when Google Alert picked it up.
Me, earlier this year – actually this is a photo I like (decide to use a group portrait from the evening I met Craig Newmark at a Mediabistro Blogger Party and masked out those surrounding me – I guess I have my reasons)
Well – here's the interview http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/528/Bloglist:-Marshall-Sponder/
BTW, if you want to see what company I'm in, look at the other interviews that Practical ECommerce published - here are some of the more notable one's from my perspective – Interview: Oneupweb CEO On The Future Of Search, Interview: Microsoft Exec on Future of Software, Jeremiah Owyang is on my WAA Social Media Committee Interview: Ecommerce Implications From Social Media while Andrew Goodman is pretty well known in the SEM industry Bloglist: Andrew Goodman as is Rand Fishkin in the SEO Community (which I'm also part of) Bloglist: Rand Fishkin. Who can forget about Jakob Nielsen (even when we want to) Bloglist: Jakob Nielsen. I used to get Yaro Starak's email Bloglist: From SEO to Self Development but ended up finding it didn't really fit me – still, he's interviewed here too. Also Anne Holland from MarketingSherpa, a woman I've met a couple of times briefly – Marketing Tips From Marketing's Sherpa and Craig Newmark, who've I've met earlier this year Craigslist.com's Craig Newmark while Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is a brand that I keep running into – even if I've done no work with them up till now. Chris Anderson, who wrote the Long Tail was also interviewed – Wired Magazine's Chris Anderson while GoDaddy's Bob Parsons: We're Only Seeing the Tip of the Iceberg is famous for his GoDaddy domain and the Superbowl.
Ok, I'm in good company – just wish they told me about the post earlier – I'd have promoted it over the summer had I known – oh well, better late than never.
I took a look at Practical Ecommerce traffic stats as compared with my own blog, Webmetricsguru.
It looks like Practical Ecommerce gets about as much traffic as I'm getting now on Webmetricsguru.com (70,000 – 90,000 visits per month) if Compete.com is not too far off.
Since my blog gets and has gotten very good traffic for a Web Analytics Blog getting interviewed here, is an honor and I'll be reading Practical ECommerce regularly ongoing.
Anyway, I am glad my Interview with Practical ECommerce was just published…and on Thanksgiving…what more can a blogger ask for? Ok, they didn't actually publish it on Thanksgiving – but since I found out about it today, to me it's like it had been published on Thanksgiving.
