Hey everybody I need to divert from Internet Marketing for a little bit and ask for some help. Ya see a golden opportunity has fallen in my lap and it will only work with some help from my friends. The other night my wife told me she wants to run a marathon to help raise money for cancer.

Team In Training is a program that has professionals that will help train you for a marathon and handle all the marathon day logistics in exchange for you raising a few thousand dollars. So my wife has registered and is officially in training to run the San Francisco marathon (yes we live in NY but the NY marathon didnt have space). For her to be allowed to run the marathon she needs to raise at least $5,000.

Please help me make my wife run the marathon and go donate some money at her donation page. In case you need more reasons why you should help me here are some and yes most of them are shallow but I’m only being shallow in order to help kids with cancer.

• No women has ever gotten fat running a marathon
• Running helps reduce stress and therefore make her less angry at my mistakes
• The money raised helps fight cancer which is a good cause
• I can give her exercise clothes as a present and not be yelled at
• Running will tone her legs and they’ll look better in her overpriced Jimmy Choo shoes
• While she is training every week I’ll have more free time to go drinking
• Did I mention no women has ever gotten fat training for a marathon?
• I get bonus points with for supporting her and letting her do her things

come on and help a buddy out

It seems to be harder to deliver interesting information about internet marketing nowadays.  That is one reason I don’t blog daily (the other reason is I am lazy).   I do enjoy helping people and covering interesting information.  So I am asking for help to identify areas that you would like me to blog about or discuss on my GoodKarma radio show.  Get your thinking caps on and start shouting out ideas.  If you think you have good information yourself and want to guestblog on GoodROI or join me on the radio just let me know.
Just remember I want to cover interesting stuff that other people will find interesting.  Thankfully there is an overabundance of other sources (blogs and radio shows) compared with several years ago when there were just a few sources of information.

Last night was the IMNY charity party.  Basically it was a bunch of geeks that donated $40 at the door to get drunk for charity.  We raised over $5000 (exact figure to be coming soon) for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

I personally enjoyed this party the best not because it was the most lavish but because for the first time an Internet party was giving back to the community by helping sick kids.  I think everybody who attended or at least the warm blooded people would agree with me that it is nice to do something good.

I was surprised by a few things:

• 2 people refused to donate and still though they were entitled to the party because they were “press”.
• Never underestimate the generosity/showmanship of people.  When we started selling $1 raffle tickets several people started buying them in groups of $100 just so they could donate more than the previous person.
• The SEO wives club is getting really big and the wives are smart & SEO literate.
• Every lady appreciates being given a rose at the end of the night. (not really a suprise)

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this charity party a success.

I belong to Internet Marketers of New York. It is a local group of guys and gals that meets once a month so I have an excuse to leave my apartment and socialize with people face to face. Since we are a local group and Search Engine Strategies is coming to town we figured we should have a party to celebrate.

Since everyone throws parties we wanted to do something different. So we decided on a Charity Party. On April 9th, at the Town Tavern on 3rd St and 6th Ave we are asking everyone to join us to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. It is $40 donation at the door (all of which goes to charity) for a 3 hour open bar with cocktail food and raffles. Come on and help do a good think while having a good time.  Everyone is welcome to come.
In case you were wondering Best of The Web and Text Link Ads are covering all of the costs, so your donation at the door can go all to charity. Finally you have a good reason to go out drinking. If you don’t go drinking, children will die. Well maybe not, but seriously Ronald McDonald House helps alot of kids going through a really bad time. If you can’t come then tell your friends and have them go.

In case anyone has forgotten (which I doubt is possible) way, way back I made a fau pax when I innocently said something about a certain lady in the industry and her hair.  I was trying to be nice and needless to say that is not how she took my comment.  I am regularly reminded about this at the search conferences.  Since SES NY is fast approaching I figured I would take no chances and took my usual incredibly looking hair over to Arrojo Studios (thanks nevdull for recon).  In case you don’t know Arrojo Studios, that is the hair salon that is on the TLC tv show “What Not To Wear”.

Here is the before and after.  Victoria (my hairstylist at Arrojo Studios) gave me a bed hair style.  Which is actually not very different from what my looked like before.  I’m starting to wonder what I paid for.  I work from home in my pajamas and I just paid an expert to make my hair look like I am fresh out of bed.  Still trying to understand it.  Anyway  Enjoy my extra incredible new hairstyle and try not to get jealous.

If you are interested in upgrading your own hairstyle check out Arrojo Studios and ask for Victoria.
