Barry Schwartz, Ophir Cohen and Olivier Amar (L2R)

Today Compucall had the pleasure of hosting a nice SEO get together. With the arrival of Barry Schwartz to Israel, we got a chance to meet and also host some of brighter SEO minds and agencies in Israel for a few hours. In attendance was, of course, Barry of Rustybrick.com, Itai Levitan of Easynet.co.il, Mayer Reich of Rankabove.com, Gilad Sasson of Nekuda.co.il and the Compucall Staff including Ophir Cohen and myself, Olivier Amar, amongst others. There was also a great presentation by the founders of articlesbase.com and bukisa.com. Read More »

Firstly, I want to apologize for this taking so long, but I actually thought I’d never get around to it. I wasn’t sure what to write. I didn’t know if I wanted to get into technical summaries and my opinions of panels; if I wanted to go in the look at the pictures of drunk SEO people etc..

Then something happened. I came across a post on Outspoken Media written by Lisa Barone that talked about personal branding in SEO and the race to  follow the SEO Stars. I suggest you read it and read the comments too. Very worthwhile. I even learned a new word: Scoble. In any case, where it took me was what I took back from SMX West 2009 in Santa Clara and how it turned out to be much more rewarding than I thought because of the personal branding.

Yesterday I had the privilege of being invited and to speak at Wordcamp Israel 2008. I was asked to give a presentation about optimizing your Wordpress blog for SEO. To tell you the truth, what I thought would be a pretty easy subject matter, turned out to be very hard to fit into 20 minutes. What started off as a big explanation of SEO add-ons for Wordpress and linking and keyword research, turned into something much more simple. Read More »

Daniel and Zipi under the Chuppa

Compucall Web Marketing is proud to announce that another one of their own, Daniel Katz (Our very own Business Development Manager), tied the knot last night to the beautiful Zipi Weinreich. The wedding included an incredible mix of Israelis and South Americans that came together to celebrate the joyous event. The ceremony was heartwarming, as both bride and groom were each accompanied by their parents to a beautifully designed Jewish “Chuppah.” The walk down the aisle was exciting as the up tempo Latin music had the crowd clapping and the Bride dancing her way down the aisle. The ceremony ended with a bang – confetti and water dispersing in the background. Read More »

Walking down the isle

Our very own SEO specialist and content writer got married last night to his beautiful fiance Ilona.  The entire (save for one frolicking abroad) staff was on hand to witness the beautiful ceremony followed by a great meal and party!

The Compucall staff, I must say, did a great job of keeping the party going till basically being told it was time to let the newly married couple get on with their night. They outlasted the parents and the rest of the guests. It was really a fantastic night for everyone. Even the minister of defence for Israel (I’m not kidding), Ehud Barak, showed up to say congratulations and pose with the couple for a few pictures.

So again, let’s congratulate the newly married couple and wish them all the best. We also want to thank them for putting on a fantastic party.

Pictures will follow shortly, here on the Compucall Facebook group.
