...at least, according to my relatives I do. I'm in Michigan right now. Hot, humid, flat, skinny tree'd, built Ford (or GM, or Chrysler) tough Michigan. I was born and raised here, but moved to Seattle for college, where I fell in love with the Emerald City and got a pretty sweet internship-turned-job working at the Moz Plex. Still, like a good daughter/sister/niece, I try to visit the Mother Land...

I am going on vacation today and there is one thing that concerns me a lot about my upcoming holiday. For the next nine days, I will have no access to the Internet. Absolutely none. Not even dial-up.
YOUmoz has been a fantastic experiment and one that we're really proud of. The community at YOUmoz is knowledgeable, dedicated and committed. We couldn't ask for more. With the growth of the UGC portal and an ever-increasing amount of traffic from search and referring links pointing to YOUmoz content, we thought we'd better illustrate how you can best levera...
I just placed the following ad on Craigslist here in Seattle, and thought I'd share it here on the blog as well... Mighty LAMP Coders of Seattle, Heed Our Cry Don't be wooed by the big firms; come to a place where your talents are appreciated, y...
It feels cruel to give the search engineers at Yahoo!, Google, MSN & Ask more work, but I know that sometimes they might not have the best project tracking or distribution software, so I figured I'd be kind and make a list of items that need attention here in the blog, and they can refer to my post when they're wondering what to do with all their free time. ...
We're launching a new section for our premium members this morning: SEOmoz Q&A. This is a place where premium members can ask the SEOmoz staff SEO related questions and receive tips, advice, or just get pointed in the right direction. It works a bit like a trouble ticket system: discussions are opened, closed, rated, and eventual...
Like most people who have featured on YOUmoz, for me blogging is a pleasure. It allows me to play at being a journalist, as well as giving me a platform to talk about a subject that fascinates me, and hopefully even lets me spread some learning.However, for many people journalism is a very serious issue indeed. The reason I say this is that today (May 17th) is the 45th birthday of a man ...
Si & I arrived late last night in Xi'an, in the Shaanxi province after 26+ hours of travel (which I don't recommend). Of course, I'm already set up online, trying to respond to dozens of emails, despite the us of an auto-responder. I think I'm feeling some empathy with Matt Cutts :) While here, I couldn't help myself but to conduct one of the most talked-about searches in regards to...
Tonight, Mystery Guest and I flew down to San Francisco for a quick weekend away (and to visit some friends). We arrived late and raced to get to a dinner with Laura Lippay in the financial district. Sadly, between our arrival time around 10pm to when we got back to the rental car at 11:30pm, the car was broken into (jimmied the driver's side lock and popped the trunk). My laptop, all our luggage ...
Today I'm very proud to announce that the Illustrated Guide to Search Friendliness is finally complete. I've personally been working on it for over a month - completely writing it from scratch and doing all the designs and illustrations, too. I'm incredibly happy with the results, and I think you will be, too. This guide is, in my opinion, one of the most valuable documents SEOmoz has ever prod...
Thanks a lot, Rand. Your "Make Stephen Colbert the Greatest Living American" contest resulted in over 150 comments and nearly 50 submissions. I had to spend nearly a week toiling over each link in order to crown the winner. (Okay, I spent about twenty minutes going through them,...
