For me nothing is worse than my own @#$% emailbox to get me off-track, and for the first part of 2009 I was actually doing great checking email only twice a day max, but by Spring I was back to my old bad habits. Going to 5 new conferences for me is probably out of my budget - but attending TWO new ones are are my plan, and I've already booked my first one in April. As for my business goals, I'll stick to the same as last year, which is to have1/3 fewer SEO clients at the end of the year than I do at the beginning for my third year in a row. My plan has been to be 100% client free by May of 2011, and I'm still heading in that direction, trying to focus on other things ranging from affiliate sites to personal projects. Industry-wise, I hate to be a wet blanket, but I just don't think the infighting will stop, and in fact will probably get worse and worse. Our industry is just a microcosm of the rest of society, and face it, we're a bunch of uber-critical stone throwers - Hell, look at our "leaders" in Washington DC! That said, I CAN try to ignore it more, and certainly will try not to participate - I'm actually pretty happy (and surprised) at the avoidance level I've shown so far... I think the tools for analytics are there, but I agree about desiring one package. What I really want is to find a way to become more efficient at analyzing the data I can already get, which is an awful lot. Finally, my #1 goal for 2010 - (but probably unattainable) Become less reliant on Google for the majority of traffic - If I could just get a SINGLE site or project to have less than 50% of it's traffic from Google, I'd be a happy camper. Unfortunately, the only way I know how to do that involves blocking them with my robots.txt file, or removing URLs with Webmaster tools - not a very profitable strategy - ;( Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:14:08 +0000 http://www.10e20.com/blog/2009/12/31/what-do-you-want-to-accomplish-in-2010/#IDComment49839444
