Rex Dixon: Social Media Director of Lending Club Blog

I ran across Rex Dixon’s blog. He is the Social Media Director at Lending Club. I think that means that he blogs, searches forums and blogs to comment, and does other cool stuff that most of us do for free. (Are you jealous too?) Anyway, Rex Dixon blogged on Lending Club and he did disclose that he works for Lending Club.
Speaking of Lending Club and Who is Who, I must note that if you go to my review of my initial Lending Club experience, the CEO of Lending Club (Renaud Laplanche) responded. Thanks Renaud!
Anyway, in Rex’s post on Lending Club, he stated nothing out of the norm. To just take an excerpt:
Caught in the wake of the credit crisis, people in every community across America are looking for alternatives to traditional banks and credit institutions to help meet their financial needs. Over the course of the last six months, lenders have earned an average 12.2 percent annualized return after fees and losses.
Members of Lending Club have loaned and borrowed more than $3.5 million within the network, growing 100 percent monthly since it launched six months ago. To help people identify lending and borrowing opportunities, Lending Club uses its proprietary affinity-matching technology, LendingMatch ™. See these statistics for more information.
Rex often posts in the P2P No Bank Forums.
To answer your question, my URL is p=xxxx because my web host has moved my site a number of times, and I haven’t bothered to check to see if he ever updated my .htaccess file; it wasn’t before. I get free web hosting due to a past business deal, so I don’t really bother him too much.

I took the question off the post a couple of minutes after I posted it because I decided it really did not matter. A person can run their blog how they want and everyone has different goals for their site. I guess the question came through in the ping back to your site.
Anyway, I do recommend that you change the URL format if it won’t disrupt your current blog too badly. I think that there is a plug in for 301 redirects to assist with the conversion and keep external links working and your PR. It helps a lot from a SEO point of view to have static URLs with your post title in it. Installing vbSEO on a forum completely proved that to me.
Thanks for stopping by though to respond. And I did like your blog. I browsed around several posts it seems to be a high quality site. Did it help you get the job you have?
