AIMCLEAR-birthday-cake

March 2008 marks the 1 year anniversary of AIMCLEAR Blog and WHAT an amazing year it’s been! We covered 7 major SES, SMX, and PhocusWright shows, immersed in Sphinn, I became an ongoing contributor to SearchEngineWatch Blog and recently posted my inaugural article regarding reputation management in SearchEngineLand.

This year we took on StumbleTrolls, discussed social rock star rules for little people, mingled with giants, discussed the evaporating yellow line between SEO & social media, and learned the ropes from consummate professionals. Tamar taught me not to Pee in the Pool.

As a company, AIMCLEAR is growing quickly-our client base expanding in a measured way. We’ve mined buzz pockets, made new friends, helped save Christmas, fell in love with StumbleUpon, and were accused of being “craven whores.” Holy smoke Batman, WOW, what a year! (Hey we even have the organic #2 right now for “craven whores.”)

Thank You
The entire AIMCLEAR family of employees and strategic partners is grateful to SearchEngineLand, Sphinn, SEO RoundTable, and SearchEngineWatch communities for support, provocative dialog, links, blogging lessons, press passes, interviews, ideas and pure expressions of SEM guile. Thanks to our wonderful readers. You are priceless to us.

We’re truly humbled for the privilege of sharing. THANK you to our amazing clients who put trust in us every day. You guys ROCK!

    Happy first birthday, Marty! Well I mean Happy Birthday aimClear, of course. I’m guessing you’re older than one, right?

    Right?

    Marty – and everyone else at aimClear – congratulations on this milestone and all of the accomplishments thus far!

    My personal blog also reached the 1 year milestone in March so I will re-light the birthday candles and sing a little diddy for you as well.

    Looking forward to everything that lies ahead!

  • MikeMarshall

    Wow Marty, you have come an amazingly long way in 1 year. It was almost this time last year (May, I think) that I cold called you and you told me I had a “wicked cool” product, but you could couldn’t talk right now because you were about to go fishing 🙂 Ironically, that day you sold me the aimClear blog.

    From my time spent surfing the blogs, you’ve gone from a relative obscurity to a respected authority. Your achievements are an inspiration, even if you are about to go fishing.

  • Marty Weintraub

    @Mike: Thank you. Your friendship and participation has really mattered to the evolution of this blog. You were among the first to engage in comment threads here and your contributions of insight and energy have been much appreciated.

    I WISH I had time to go fishing this Spring. 🙂 The Minnesota Canoe Boundary Waters (BWCA) beckon as the ice breaks. Honestly you could drag an old SOCK behind a canoe and pull a 10 LB Northern out of Lake Sagnaga along the Canadian border.
