Changing User Agents with Firefox
In the last Whiteboard Friday (12/20/07) Rand talked with Stephan Spencer on the subject of conditional 301 redirects using user agent detection. I thought it might be useful to briefly cover how easy it is to set up Firefox to use a non-default user agent (like Yahoo, Google etc) for testing and development...

Today marks the completion of our first ever external funding - $1.1million (sorry, no Shoemoney shot here). I wrote about this move twice before, asking in August for your feedback on whether to take venture capital and in September about ...

Hello, devoted Mozbers out there (Moz + Members). We're currently in the process of redesigning our business cards, and we want some amusing, fun, not at all corporate or stuffy-sounding job titles.

Living in an SEO World
Living in an SEO world can be strange at times; forget about the internal politics of black hats, white hats, and no hats, I'm talking about being on the inside looking out, an SEO Professional in a corporate environment, professional title: Link Developer. I can't say I'm getting used to it, but I have always taken this question in stride, "What do you do …exa...

Answers to Questions for Rand: Round 2
Sorry it's taken me so long to get to all of these. The past few days trying to get grounded after a week in Stockholm have been even busier than the usual (and that's saying something). With a little luck, though, we'll have two very exciting announcements tomorrow and Thursday, and we've managed to get some great YOUmoz entries over the last few days - keep 'em coming! For those who m...
Should You Optimize Your Site For Each Individual Search Engine?
I was reading through Search Engine Land today (as I do every day--kissuptodannykissuptodanny) and came across the following blurb in Stoney deGeyter's 10 Useless SEO Worries post: Don't think that you need to optimize a page for each search engine. It doesn't work that way. Just do good optimization and all eng...
Snippets from 30,000 Feet
I'm on a plane from Newark to Seattle. It's late at night, and the first hour was spent on the ground waiting for low CIGS (low ceilings of clouds & rain) to clear. So, while I still have another 4.5 hours in front of me, I'm just grateful to be in the air. The last week was a whirlwind – although that's nothing new. For the last 4 ...

13 Things to Do When Your Loved One is Away at Conferences
As many of you know, Rand travels quite a bit for his work, leaving me at home with Raul, the cabana boy. All is well for the first few hours, until I grow tired of Raul's deep tissue massages and the peeled grapes he insists on feeding me. After that, I tend to get a little bored and lonely. I'm assuming the other conference widows out there feel the same way, and as such, I'...
What if the Ron Paul Fans Became SEO Savvy?
It's late, and I should be wrapping up Q+A (or at least blogging on my promised topic of the Beginner's Guide) and getting some shut eye, but I simply couldn't resist sharing some thoughts about the web-based fervor for Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul. For those who don't know, Paul's supporters are possibly the most organized and galvanized web community in the modern political spec...
