It’s been a busy year for me, and that means I didn’t get around to do all the things I wanted to do. So here’s a 2012 resolutions list to remind myself what I want to achieve in the new year.

1. Become Google Adwords Certified because Adwords seems to become a bigger part of my business. More often than not, new clients not only want an SEO solution, but they’re also looking to get their Adwords campaigns managed. While I do have good working knowledge of the Adwords product, I’m sure that getting a certification will help me tremendously in creating fully optimised Adwords campaigns for them.
2. Get the Google Analytics Certification for the same reasons as above. I know my way around Google Analytics, and I am comfortable enough with it to get all the data I need from it, but I think that there’s a lot more power behind analytics. It will be especially important to give my CRO (conversion rate optimisation) skills a boost.
3. Get an article or two published on the front page of SEOmoz. No particular reason – I just think that’s the fastest way to get to 1000 mozpoints, which equals a free SEOmoz t-shirt.
4. Attend an event such as SMX, Search Love or Mozcon. Unfortunately, I live in the most remote city on earth, so the time and money involved in actually attending one of these is going to be a significant investment.
5. Improve my coding skills beyond the current copy-paste-cross-fingers-it-will-work level. Perhaps I too can come up with a handy SEO tool such as SEO Spider or an SEO WordPress plugin.
6. Increase my Klout score to 50+ Not because anyone cares, but secretly it makes me feel good about myself.
