A lot of heavy work that we can hear from downstairs, some drilling and other things that either sound like some slamming in a wresting match or someone playing bowling upstairs. And then suddenly this happens at Megan’s desk:

Good thing Megan was out for some errands and no one was hurt. Hopefully the laptop is fine and if not, I hope it gets replace by who ever is responsible.

This year, you may have noticed some already from Google’s CADIE, YouTube’s mirror image and the one I liked was Reddit’s pages were redesigned on various parts of their site that look like Digg, Fark, Slashdot and maybe more.

Here at BusinessOnLine, as mentioned in our last years April Fool’s Day blog post, we work hard and we play hard. For some reason, everyone seemed so busy with client projects that no well coordinated prank was executed this day of the pranks in 2009.

But since we do play hard aside from work hard, any day here can be like April Fool’s day. An earlier prank happened on March 4, 2009. This is the office cubicle of our HR manager.

And in this prank we did, blackhat hidden content. We cloaked the HR’s office.

Too bad, all of us never saw Trevor’s reaction that day. He usually comes in at 5:00am. Too early for the rest of the company.

Any day can be April Fool’s Day here at BusinessOnLine.

I am very stoked to announce that this Wednesday night, April 2nd, my band Dive Bomber will be opening for WWE Superstar Christy Hemme.

Here is a pic of Christy in case you are unfamiliar with her career. And if you are really interested (and over 18..lol), here are some Christy Hemme videos.

I checked out her band on MySpace and they rock. Needless to say, we are excited to share the stage with such an accomplished performer. Hopefully she won’t decide to body slam me off the stage if I accidently get in her way…lol. So if you are in San Diego this Wed, we will be starting the party around 9pm at Brick by Brick.

If you don’t see me on Twitter until noon on Thursday, you’ll know why ;)

Have a great week.

Catfish

The SEO Blues (© Copyright 2008)
Lyrics by Catfish


It was Monday morning and I was just out of bed
Logged onto Hitbox just to see if I had
Any reason to be happy that day
Cause ya never know what Googles gonna take away
(I got the)

Chorus:
SEO Blues
The SEO Blues
The SEO Blues
Another Google Dance is all ya need to wake up to
SEO Blues

Number one the first day and you’re gone the next
Trying to run a business man is such a mess
Page Rank, Back links, 302s
I already had enough to do (without the)

Chorus

I’m sinkin in the sandbox cause I got no links
I talked to Rand Fishkin just to see what he thinks
I talked to Matt Cutts and Shoemoney too
Not even Greg Boser knew what I should do (about my)

Chorus

It seems I had a problem that I couldn’t understand
Until I read an article at search engine land
My site got hijacked by my own IP
And a 302 redirect I couldn’t see (I had the)

Chorus

PS. This is purely a fictional story ;)

It’s called The SEO Blues. Everyday on my lunch I go to my band studio to eat and relax. Fortunately it’s only about 10 minutes from work. I wrote this song over the last couple weeks and today I decided to record it on my iPod. There are a couple mistakes on the guitar but I only had time for one take. I hope everyone enjoys it. I think its kinda funny. I am sure many people can relate to the theme. *LOL* Just click on the player below to listen to the song or download the SEO Blues mp3 file. Maybe someday I’ll do a video ;)
