According to Ron Jackson's latest Lowdown post, Skip Hoagland has added another key player to his development team at Domains New Media (DMN). After award winning work at Richmond.com, Jon Lumpkin is coming onboard at DMN to work on the development of Alexandria.com which is shaping up to be a very ambitious project. Lumpkin will be working alongside Josh Stauffer and Jeremia Froyland (who developed Portland.com for DMN) to develop the Virginia site. At the same time Gastón Piarrette (who is based in DMN's Buenos Aires, Argentina office) will head up development and content creation for the Egyptian site. Click here to read more on this.
Jackson continues his posts with the teaser: "SEO is hot again." That pronunciation from SEO expert Rand Fishkin (SEOmoz.org) comes just three weeks after the Nov. 10 item in which LearnToDuck.com's Micah Baldwin declared "SEO is Dead!" In a post on his SEOmoz blog yesterday, Fishkin commented on "Why Companies Are Investing in SEO During the Economic Downturn." Click here for more.
