The world of backlinks and SEO
One common theme of mine is automation -- not "home automation" where robots wash your dishes, but a way of automating conversation, research, personal engagements. Things where you, a real live person, can be more efficient or effective because a computer does some basic or simple or repetitive task for you.
In that vein, I discovered Zemanta awhile back, which was (is?) a tool for automatically finding related stuff based on what you write in a blog post.
Which I think is pretty cool! I've got it out at http://ret.ention.net for the Story of America card project (which hasn't seen any action in ages, by the way)
Anyway, I didn't give it much thought, until I found this email way down deep in my archive:
Anyway, Zac Johnson's page is linked from those posts thanks to Zemanta, which is apparently where the problem lies?
I still like Zemanta. It's the thing that, in one click, let me highlight Zac's name right there! And it'll take you to his homepage! Pretty cool, I'd say. And I'm not sure if using LinkRemovalHelp.com to send cryptic messages to bloggers is the best way to boost your SEO. But maybe it worked in this case?

No, Link Remove, thank you for the lovely note. By the way, there's usually a name or signature that goes at the bottom, especially when you're leaving off with "Thank You," ...and that comma just sits there, alone, dangling...
