Vacation mixed with company planning

On the May 11-12, 2006 I was out for vacation/planning in a very nice place in Sweden called Bċstad and Hovs Hallar.

I had been working for many weeks in front of the computer and so it was very nice to have some real nature. With my partner Peter Larsson we did some major financial and strategic planning for this and next year.

It was real fun. Before the “conference” I told Peter that I think that what the company earned most with the least expenses was link building for clients and during the meeting while we studied the financial records he told me: “You think, look at this calculation. No shit!”, hehe.

Some major targets for 2007:

  • 100 web sites, 40 of those in Swedish (currently I have 30).
  • End of 2007 we will be in a level in which we easily can make a living doing only link building on own sites for clients combined with Adsense. Big SEO clients will only be icing of the cake.

For 2008:

  • I will spend half of the weeks doing my real interest - writing.
  • Completion of my first novel and the next one started.

A reporter from a Swedish major newspaper (Sydsvenskan) called me regarding the V7N SEO contest, and that interview resulted in this article.

    Hey Jim I’m interested in Your Novel is it gonna be about SEO, if so Can you make an email list and put me on it and let me know when it’s ready and where to purchase. he he thanks
    I agree Jim, Link building is the Hot Topic Today, everyone with a Website needs it. You should Capitalize on it. If I where you I would concentrate on that part of your business, If you could make it automated then you could score great profits with very little effort, especially with your SEO skills.

    @SEO hosting -> Thanks. You can read about my first novel here, it is not about SEO. Yes, link building is the thing I will concentrate on.
