In August, 2005, SEOmoz launched the first series of ranking factors. 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...
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...
It's been about a month and a half since our new site launch, meaning that we've received nearly 2 months' worth of YOUmoz submissions (160, to be exact, with 94 entries published). A little over half of the submissions we receive get published, but what...
With some help from Jeff, I've re-created a new version of our Recommended List of SEO Consultants, Experts, Firms & Service Providers. The new version features some very nice functionality for folks seeking specific services and price ranges, and provides considerably more information about each provider. ...

As you may have read, Scott and I made an early campaign for Worst Mozzers of the Year by abandoning our sick boss to trainset to Paris. Though we seem like horrible, horrible employees, enough people (including, hopefully, Rand) got a kick out of it to motivate me to share with you all a step-by-step...
Just in time for Valentine's Day...Search here often?Is that a SERP in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?You must be banned from Google because it’s blackhat to look that good.I’ve been looking at the analytics, and I’d like to make you my landing page.You rank first on my personalized search results.I&rsqu...
A lot of people ask, "Where do I submit my site to search engines?" If you're new to SEO, it's a lot easier than you think. You see all these advertisements that for $20 they will submit your site to 10,000 search engines. Well, the truth is, that's a scam. There aren't 10,000 search engines, at least not 10,000 that will end up delivering any traffic to yo...
As some folks had already guessed, I was the MySuperProposal guy. Tonight, I proposed to Mystery Guest on her favorite show, Veronica Mars. The video is at iFilm - the response should be up very soon (but here's a spoiler, she said YES!) ...
This is a podcast highlighting all the new stuff we've added to SEOmoz with the launch of our new site. I tried to cover all the new features we added, including explaining MozPoints and the details of our premium membership. SEOmoz Version 3 - New Bells and Whistles ...
Stick with me here, because this post relates to SEO...I promise...I went snowboarding for the first time last year. Despite growing up in Michigan, where I could have driven up to the UP (that's Upper Peninsula to you folks who don't point out your hometown on your hand) to hit the slopes, I had never snowboarded or skied before. The first time I tried snowboarding, I went...
Just the links, folks: The folks over at DowJones Marketwatch are so clueless about social media, it hurts. Just read their take on Scott's blog entry from last week (scroll to the 3rd article). More on ...
Oh, perspective. It's a fantastic human characteristic that, among other things, lets us compare how we once felt with how we feel now. When I began working at SEOmoz, I was aware that, in comparison to many people, I knew "a lot" about the series of tubes some call the internet, but far less than I'd soon know. Here are some of the lighter-hearted things I've learned since September 18,...
Hello. Mystery Guest here. Rand isn't feeling quite well right now, so he asked that I blog on his behalf. As most of you probably know, his father has been in the hospital for over a week now, and is currently fighting a fever that won't seem to go away. We're all hoping for the best. Rand just returned from a trip out east and headed straight from the airport to see his dad, so he's fee...
I think this is, without question, one of the most anticipated posts I've authored. Since I announced back in September to several friends that I'd be posting SEOmoz's financial records on the blog, people have generally responded with shock and amazement. While public companies are forced by law to issue their balance sheets & earning statements, for private companies, financial informatio...
