Happy New Year!

Raro1 Raro2Hi everyone!

Can you believe we’re already in our second month of 2015? It seems like Xmas was just last week.

Apologies for the blog silence, but I’ve been taking a well-earned break to rest and recover from a difficult year. I managed to sneak away for my first holiday in three years and my son and I spent 8 glorious days in tropical Rarotonga in the Cook Islands (check out the photos). If ever you get a chance to visit islands in the Pacific, I highly recommend it.

I’ll be spending more time focusing on my role at Search Engine College this year, as well as producing training courses at Udemy and running digital marketing training workshops around New Zealand for the IITP. I’ve also scored a bit of consulting work in the field of online education, so 2015 is going to be full of challenges!Raro4

With such a hectic schedule, I won’t be able to post here as much and – sadly – I won’t be reprising my Fast Five in Search series this year. But I will be answering as many Q and A’s as I can, so please do keep sending in your tricky questions about search engines and I’ll do my best to publish my answers here.

Wishing you all a safe and memorable 2015.

Spread the joy!
