Death of Cheezhead

I've recently noticed the Cheezhead and HRSEO domains are redirecting to Jobing.

You might ask.. So what?

Well for those of you who compete with Jobing, all of the back links (aka Google Juice) your blog or site was giving Cheezhead and HRSEO are now providing the "CheezJuice" to Jobing, resulting in a healthy heaping helping of "link-love" for Jobing instead of the originally intended admiration or daily shots taken at Cheez.

None of this is a surprise, although if you were linking to Cheezhead.com you may way to revisit those links. (You can always point to Joel's LinkedIN profile)

Joel was one of the ones from way back show started and never stopped and kept his focus. It;s great to see that focus pay off. decisions need to be made every so often and Joel reached that point and it was probably a "do I continue at it alone or do I take what I have built and allow someone else to leverage it to a greater degree than I am capable of" I think he dis the right thing. I just hope he was paid a good amount for the good will and equity he built into it. I have no doubt the day to day expertise he brings to Jobing is well worth everything big I hope they are paying him. Congrats again Joel. Don't forget who interviewed the big cheez first. I need to find that interview.

All of cannot be so lucky. Jobing wants to leverage Joel's relationships, creative business ideas, and his SEO all of which I see no problem. You didn't think he'd be blogging as Cheezhead forever did you?

Comment by Chad Sowash on January 25, 2010 at 11:36am: Gotcha.. Although, I wasn't starting a conversation on the "right or wrong" aspect of Joel's business decision. Was merely pointing out that his Google Juice, from Cheezhead, is pointed toward Jobing now.

I title it "Death of Cheezhead" because it's gone..
