Ok, I keep getting pulled further and further in to the Google abyss…

Every morning, this is my routine:

  • Open Gmail, also check any of the other 452 Google Apps “webmaster” accounts I think I might need to
  • Open Google Reader: Reader saves me so many hours being able to stay on top of most everything without having to hop site to site – plus I have it set to only show me which sites have updated.  (This is the time now when I open any of those new articles and tag them on Del.icio.us which then propagates out according to tag to my various sites)
  • Open Google Calendar: check to see what’s coming up, add any events off of varoius scraps of paper off my desk
  • Open Google Analytics: check the stats on the higher traffic sites
  • Open Google AdWords: check click-throughs and impressions for RDL

Bam. They’ve got my whole life.  I know a lot of the SEO people don’t like them for the whole hand-editing and link degredation for bought links thing, but I can deal.  As long as I have broadband, I can deal…
