Cre8tive Flow

In an end of the year slap in the face to web site owners and marketers, Google shows it is now a true kissing cousin to Microsoft.

I’m quite convinced the Google “response” was misdirection. Oh hell. Its a lie.

There is some real disdain being felt right now for the screwy way in which Google has responded to questions about why they made this change. Google has a way of compounding existent frustrations caused by poor communication by then giving conflicting responses to issues like these.

the google reaction was weak. Something is going on. They aren’t being straight.

We are thrilled to join in the celebration at the news of the birth of a baby girl for Barry (aka Rustybrick) and Yisha.

As our gift, we brought back a Mother’s Day logo created by fellow forums Moderator, Risa, of RB3WebDesign.com.

It’s amazing how one small bit of code can create such debate.

Major Search Engines Agree On New Canonical Tag discusses first the news about this new tag and then rolls right into a rollicking debate about whether or not anyone should waste their time with it.

Here are some comments:

What I think is interesting is that all the SE’s came together on this. I’m hope to migrate 80% of my traffic away from Search engines by the end of the year, and I hope others follow suit. — Glyn

We’re having a party!

Cre8asiteforums celebrates its 6th year anniversary this month with a month long series of interviews, games, reunions, and the launch of new forums. Kim Krause Berg is interviewing Cre8tive Community members, industry folks and forums Moderators.

Are We 6 or 10?

Technically, if you’re Kim Krause Berg, we’re 10 years old. This is how long I’ve been at the wheel. Cre8asiteforums began as the Cre8pc Website Promotion Club, back in 1998, in Egroups. Egroups was acquired by Yahoo! and changed into Yahoo! Clubs.

Today we say goodbye to a role, but not the man.

Bill Slawski Stepping Down As Administrator

Bill joined the original Cre8pc Web Site Promotion Club in Yahoo! (was Egroups) in 1998. In 2002, he agreed to become a co-administrator for a bigger version, called Cre8asiteforums. After 10 years, he is moving on.

You can still find Bill at Seobythesea and the KeyRelevance blog, SemClubhouse.

As founder and administrator for Cre8asiteforums, I announced two days ago to our Members that the moderating and site administration staff were taking time off, away from their daily duties. It seemed appropriate that after over 5 years of dedication, it was time to set aside some time for a little break.

As stated in my post, Cre8asiteforums Staff Taking Time Off,

Each of us is more than our work. Our passions are as varied and unique as ourselves. The moderators and I are growing in our awareness for how our work affects our world. Our business practices, for example, reflect on our respective industries. We understand that our best practices beliefs apply to how we interact with our world and everyone we meet.
