Not too long ago, Google switched to a mobile-first index, meaning they use the mobile version of your site for ranking and indexing.

I'm working on a site review for a client, and I was checking to see how well the site was indexed across the major search engines. Normally we do a site: command and skip to the last page of results to get as accurate a count as we can; however, MSN's count is a little puzzling. When I first performed a count, it said the client's site had 180 pages indexed (it's a brand new site). Jumping to the...
I'm halfway through my next post on rewriting the Beginner's Guide, but I'm just too tired to go on. Losing three hours coming over to New York doesn't help, either. So, I've turned my attention away from the project for now and thought I'd ask something a bit more participatory of the crowd here... What are the 5 industry-related websites (excluding the search engines themselves) that ...

Today we wrapped up our first ever SEOmoz training seminar - covering topics from keyword research to technical issues to search algorithms and social media. Despite the 7 straight hours of speaking on stage, I feel pretty good - the people in attendance appeared to have a terrific time and our after-hours party was still going strong when I left an hour ago. One of the most frequently ...
You know the feeling... That competitor who, no matter what you do, always ranks above your site. You've got more links, better links, better optimization, more targeted anchor text, tons of better viral content and yet, somehow, as though blessed by a higher power, your site simply can't outrank that @#$%! I'd like to do something a little different on the SEOmoz blog today, and ask yo...
Do we always even know? The more I think about the “up and coming” engines, I have to wonder who will be the first genius to consolidate our human desire for getting what we want when we want it with our desire to poke around on the internet. Reading through random articles on Wikipedia is, of course, a very popular phenomena and the entire premise of Digg is built ...
This coming Thursday, I've been invited to present to the Live Search team over in Redmond. We'll be discussing all sorts of issues, including spam on Live, increasing retention rates for searchers and growing relationships between Live and webmasters. However, I can't represent the entire search community on my own, so I'm hoping to solicit your input. What would you like to see Live do to mak...
Late last week, Danny Sullivan launched Sphinn, the search engine industry's own social news & networking site, with remarkably little fanfare. However, despite the relatively covert launch, the site itself has some fairly exceptional functionality and a very fast learning curve. And, if that wasn't enough, one of the top stories right now is on the lazin...
As a writer/editor for Drivl, I do a lot of image searches in order to add relevant, amusing pictures to supplement stories that either I've written or that one of our users has submitted. At first, I would default to Google for all of my image searching needs, but the relevance is often low (and sometimes porn-tastic). Yahoo! Images is sometimes better, sometim...
This is a short entry because it's very late, I'm very tired, and I still have tons of unread email... In thinking about Google's future competitively and how they might eventually fall by the wayside, I always bring up the single example of a site I consistently use to find better content than what's available through Google's SERPs. Granted, this engine doesn't operate perfectly for e...
I have several questions about URL formatting. I'll start with some questions about Amazon, and then relate them to where I work every day. But, I think the questions, and their answers, are broadly relevant to those with URL formatting questions.1) How does Amazon get away with having multiple URLs for the same website pages? Don't bots penalize them ...
A short while ago, I wrote about the Ask.com advertising campaign that seems to have gone slightly wrong (what with the vandalism and deceptive ads). The comments on the blog showed quite clearly the backlash they faced from the population who visited.Well, it seems th...
MSN has found a way to capitalize on user generated content through the shootings in Virginia. Certainly not in great taste given the scope of the tragedy. The page is called “Were you on the Virginia Tech campus?" There is a section that allows you to share your story, as ...
