Personal note: wedding pictures!
So I’ve been meaning to show a couple of these to all my readers for a while but just didn’t get to doing it, but here goes. Serge Chamuleau of Trouwen in Arnhem made these wonderful pictures of my wife Marieke and son Tycho at our wedding (ow yeah, warning, I’m in some of them [...]
Leaving Onetomarket
Typing this blog post gives me a weird feeling. I won’t beat around the bush: I’m leaving Onetomarket. It’s time for a new challenge, and it’s time to broaden my horizon. Because of that, I will be joining a new company as of October 1st, and will be diving into another corner of online marketing. [...]
Just Married!
Just before we go off on our honeymoon, 12 days on lovely Rhodes, I wanted you all to know that last friday, the 29th of August, I got married to my lovely Marieke! We had an awesome day, and as you can see, Marieke looked absolutely stunning! If you want something to read in the [...]
The meaning of “de Valk”
Another great query found in my 103bees account “what does devalk mean?”. Well, this one is simple. “de Valk” is “the falcon” in Dutch.

5 Things you didn’t know about me
Jaimie Sirovich tagged me, so I’m now thinking of 5 things you didn’t know about me yet. I guess these are good:

Search & Social – you can’t get the cream out of the coffee
Yesterday, Google launched “Search plus your World”, intermixing search and social and providing even more “personalized” results. There’s a lot of outcry about some parts of this, with people saying they don’t want “personalized” results. I actually think that normal users do want personalized results and that this is, for the most part, a good thing. [...]
SEO Ranking Data: Tracking Passively and Actively
People ask me at times whether I talk about SEO ranking data with my clients and/or monitor it for them. In almost all cases I do monitor it, in some cases, we talk about them, in a lot of cases we don’t, as it’s just not that reliable of a metric. On the other hand, with [...]
VPS.net issues: what’s up and what will they do about it?
When I posted my interview with Terry Myers about cloud hosting, I wasn’t really prepared for the backlash that would come in on that post. Quite a few people responded and a lot of them weren’t too happy. On top of that, there were several instances of downtime in both the AMS and several US [...]
Archive SEO: archive by topic, not by date
It seems I run into a (WordPress) blog every day that has a full date archive. You’ll know what I mean, a list of links, with one link for every month in the last 3, 4, X years that they published a post in. My buddy Avinash has one (sorry Avinash for using you as [...]
