If you’d like to follow me, I’m @lyndseo.

Update to Airport Post – YYT

April 29th, 2008 Lyndsay Walker No comments

Thanks to @Bloggeries for letting me know that there actually IS an airport out there that offers free WiFi!

Of course, you’d have to go to St. John’s, Newfoundland to get it. And hey if you’re going to go to St. John’s International Airport, you might as well fly WestJet! :)

I know I don’t post often, but I promise, it hasn’t been since 2006 since I lasted posted.

I’m having some database problems.  Hope to have them resolved soon!

Airports!

February 27th, 2008 Lyndsay Walker 1 comment

Seriously.

Okay I work for an airline, and I’d say I fly anywhere from 6-10 times in a month. Most of the time that’s standby so I do a LOT of airport waiting.

You’d think airports might take into consideration that travellers are often tired, and possibly stressed or irate because of flight delays, cancellations, etc.

Right now I’m sitting at the Buffalo International Airport, thanking the good Lord that I found an unused plug and can just work with my headphones on. Why? Apparently someone decided it would be a good idea to have ALL the carts that have to drive through the terminal have a constant “BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP”, like a reverse indicator. Really, wouldn’t a horn suffice? Just use it as needed.

SEO – or Search Engine Optimization – on business card?

January 25th, 2008 Lyndsay Walker No comments

It’s about time for me to order business cards again, and this time I want to stray from my OFFICIAL title of “Web Business Coordinator” and go with something that better describes my actual role with WestJet, which is Web Analytics and SEO Coordinator.

Here’s my thing.  That’s a long title if I spell out “Search Engine Optimization”.  Web Analytics and Search Engine Optimization Coordinator.  Or Search Engine Optimization and Web Analytics Coordinator.

So if I go with “Web Analytics and SEO Coordinator”, will people know what SEO means?  When I think back to who I’ve given my card to in the past year, most were at conferences I’d say.  But am I just confusing those who don’t know the lingo?

Hey FlightStats – great customer service!

January 15th, 2008 Lyndsay Walker No comments

Not three hours after I posted last month about the incorrect spelling of WestJet in Google’s flight tracking (supplied by www.flightstats.com) I received an email from Conducive Technology Corp’s CEO Jeff Kennedy. He stated that the spelling error had been corrected and would be updated within a few hours.

Actually for a few days the actual word “WestJet” didn’t show up at all, but now I am pleased to say that WestJet is spelled correctly in Google’s FlightStats results.

Thanks to Jeff and the FlightStats team for doing what more people should – watching the web and blogs for any mention of their company name, and going into action when something needs to be done.
