Since we opened the doors to our little world of warriors, (Oct. 19 09) we’ve had some nice experiences, feedback and coverage from around the sphere. We decided that we should put together an informal ‘Press Page’ (term used loosely).

And for those that we don’t get around to posting about, as there were so many, I want to say thanks to you as well. Thanks for all the support to those that have… Most appreciated.

 

First the Video…

When we asked if a few members would throw a few words our way for the testimonial page, we were stunned. Not only did we get far more than I had hoped, but one member went the extra mile.

Below is a video that Garrett Pierson of Your SEO Mentor and Building Social Equity sent over. I was pumped about it all… definitely above and beyond! Here’s what he had to say;

Then the Poll

Another thing that happened was a poll Lee Odden had over on his most excellent Top Rank Blog. As any good geek would be, I was checking new linkees/referrers to the Dojo one day and noticed some traffic coming over from Lee’s blog. Hmmmm… says I. After following the trail back, lo and behold he had a Poll for; Best Paid Subscription SEM Communities

Considering there was only four in the running, and seriously, we’re too young to compete with the entrenched masters of the domain, I was happy just to be on the list. But it didn’t end there. Many of the warriors swooped down on the poll and not only voted, but there was comment after comment one more passionate than the next.

At the end of it all, when the dust had settled, we managed to come away at the top of the list. Far more pleasing were the comments than the actual vote count – A big thanks to ALL the membership!

 

Here and there

We’ve also enjoyed a wide range of coverage since we’ve been open (and even before we were open actually). Here are some of them if you want to learn what others have felt about the SEO Dojo experience;

MediaPost also covered our collective musings in; Hot SEO Topics In 2010 - And of course there’s always more… Just look here!

I want to once again thank the members and all of those that have been so supportive of our cause. Something that started as some grumpy SEOs looking for a place to call home; it has grown into so much more.

If you're NOT a member… then why not join us today!

 

NOTE: it should be known that ALL of the posts and people mentioned here wrote of their own fee will. No money changed hands and no back rubbing deals took place. <That’s what makes it so humbling>
