The Fear of the Disconnect
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.

Action Items for the Engines from the SMX Conference
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.

Happy Birthday Alan
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 ...
Censorsed Search Results in China Changing
Si & I arrived late last night in Xi'an, in the Shaanxi province after 26+ hours of travel (which I don't recommend).

Rand & Mystery Guest Get Everything Stolen in San Francisco
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 ...
New Illustrated Guide to Search Friendliness and - Shock, Shock! Ads on SEOmoz
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...
And the Winner of the Greatest Living American Challenge Is...
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,...

We asked a dozen folks in the SEO world to vote on the importance of over 100 unique factors surmised to be part of the search engines' ranking algorithms. Today, we've released a new version that addresses many of the issues that frustrated users of the first...

New Feature for Premium Members: SEO Tips & Tricks
We've added a new feature for premium members: SEO Tips and Tricks. It's nothing earth-shatteringly huge, just a simple list of SEO tips, tricks, and bits of industry knowledge that we don't make publicly available. The list will be updated fairly regularly and when a new tip is published you'll notice a New SEO Tip link in the left-hand navig...
