I’d like to take this opportunity to…. (this sounds too corporate). I am wishing all the loyal readers of the BizMord blog as well as the folks in our SEM industry happy holidays and all the best in the year 2007.

Personal wishes to the great people in this industry;

To Jim Boykin - please get more sleep. You’re doing a great job, but your recent revelation of your sleeping habits being around 4-6 hours a day are disturbing

To Stoney deGeyter - Keep up the great job you’re doing at PolePositionMarketing. I am glad we met this last PubCon conference but I do feel bad that we didn’t get a chance to talk more. I look forward to the next one we both might attend. Meanwhile … the next Apprentice show is starting soon. As we always do (hopefully) we’ll chat about that on your blog again.

To David Temple - Continue being a very knowledgeable and a pleasant person to speak to. Anyone who’s had a chance to speak with you had only the greatest things to say. It’s always great to see your comments on many, many blogs as well as this one.

To Rand Fishkin - Even though we have never met (couldn’t catch you at Las Vegas PubCon) … those shoes of yours are not only eye catching but must have some sort of a propeller in them. Anyway, Rand, continue being one of the leaders in this industry.

To Aaron Wall - I had the pleasure of speaking with you over the phone a long time ago when we were researching help for our SEO projects. After speaking with 40 other SEO “experts”, conversation with you was one of the most beneficial and interesting to me. Wishing you success with your new company … ReviewMe.com. I am sure we’ll be using it in the future.

To Lee Odden - I had a pleasure of speaking with Lee in Vegas Pubcon and just like on the phone Lee is a very pleasant guy to speak to. I am wishing you much success not only with your excellent blog but also with your PR company. You are a true leaders and let 2007 be a great year for you.

To Marshall Sponder - The amount of work you put into your blog and the quality information is amazing. I am wishing you all the best this coming year. Look forward to meeting you soon.

To Mike and Vishen at MindValleyLabs - I found you guys just recently and am I glad I did. The information is excellent and I do hope to see more of it in 2007. You guys are passionate about what you do and this is why your writing is so interesting and informative. Keep up the great job. Now go test some more ads!

To Andy Beal - It’s not the first time I hear Andy speak at the search related conferences and as always I am glad to be there. The amount of knowledge you have is great and when you share it … it’s even better. Wishing you more success with your consulting company in 2007 and once again … thanks for doing the 1 tip video for me (even though you thought I was one of the Mordkovich brothers who publish the Search Marketing Standard magazine.

To Boris and Eugene Mordkovich - It’s quite amazing how our last names match, we’re Russians and live / work almost in the same zip code. I wish you guys only success with your new search related magazine. I heard only the best things about it and am proud to open up each issue of it and find my last name near the “publisher’s” name. Look forward to meeting both of you soon.

To Todd Malicoat - Heard you speak at the Pubcon this year and harassed you for a “1 tip video” … I do appreciate your willingness to participate and share your knowledge. I also appreciate you forwarding my question to Shoemoney when you did the radio show. Todd … keep up the great job with your blog and do more speaking at those conferences. I heard people mentioning how they enjoyed your speaking.

To Shimon Sandler - It’s always a pleasure to speak with you whether it’s by commenting on your blog or replying to your comments on my blog. Keep sharing your knowledge that you have so much of. I like what you did with the design of your blog. Great job.

To Chris at 10e20 blog - I am glad I found your blog as it’s filled with quality content. Keep up the great job. I am sure Tamar is a great help to you as I see so many of her posts there. I am a loyal visitor.

To Chris Hooley - First of all, you’ve done a great job branding yourself. I see green … I see you. Those that see you comment on different blogs will understand what I mean. You’re an “outside the box thinker” and some of the ideas you come up with are excellent. Keep it up man!

Did I forget anyone? Oh I am sure I did and I’ll get the heat for it.

Happy holidays folks.
