Are We Forgetting the Basics?
Every day I read SEO forums which are full of so-called SEO experts, Now, I am not here to name and shame, I am just curious as to why people give other newbie SEO misleading information.

The Best Spam Submission Ever
As you may know, one of my job duties here is to manage our user-generated blog. Every day I sift through the queue of blog entry submissions and publish posts about Internet marketing, business tactics, social media, web dev/design, etc. While I publish one or two worthy, relevant blog entries each day, I delete several spam submissions. I've seen spam entr...
Linkscape Update 2 Now Live
Those of you who've been running Linkscape reports this weekend may have noticed our new, fresher data in the index. This is our second update (the first was on Dec. 8th of 2008) and it's brought with it a refresh of much of the crawl we originally launched with in October. This update is seriously good news for us, as it's taken far less time, energy and frustration than our first update, and it's good news for our members (and anyone who uses the free data) as much of the web's changes in Q4 2008 are now included in the index. We're working towards updates every 4-5 weeks, but it may be several more before we can get that level of freshness.
Lindsay Perkin Wassell Joins SEOmoz to Lead our Consulting Business; Adam Feldstein Arrives to Head Up Product Development
Intrepid surfers of SEOmoz may have already noticed the new additions to our team - Lindsay Perkin Wassell & Adam Feldstein. Many of you in the SEO field know Lindsay well from her role as Director of SEO at OnTargetJobs and frequent speaking and participation at industry conferences. Today, she's joining SEOmoz's team as the manager of our consulting operations. Adam is somewhat new to the world of SEO, though as Group Program Manager of MSN Autos for the last few years, he's certainly put some significant energy into the process. I'm thrilled to have both of these folks on board with us, and think an introduction is definitely deserved.

Charting Startup Trends Across Varying Economic Climates
This week I'm speaking to a number of startups about SEO - something I absolutely love to do as I've complained in the past that many don't pay appropriate attention to SEO. At SEO conferences, we often find humor in the stereotypes surrounding our world, and startups a...
Where Are All the New People?
I've been hanging round SEOmoz for a loooooooong time. I remember reading the blog when it still had its first design, starting to comment on it about 2 years ago, becoming a top ten member (by mozpoints)...
The Best SEOmoz Avatar Awards
Okay, I’m supposed to be working but the fact is, I’m hiding out in my spare room office to get away from the family that refused to leave. I’ve had guests for over a week and I’m a little…ummm stressed.
Redirect 301 /jane.html
It was a bit difficult hitting the Compose Entry link in my account to write this, because this will be one of the last blog posts I write as an SEOmoz staff member. At the end of this month and after two and half fantastic years, I'm leaving SEOmoz and Seattle. It's amazingly hard to know how to word something like this: I want to get across so much and there's no way to word it at all cleverly. ...

10 Different Types of Clients
TYPES OF CLIENTELE - After having worked with a number of clients as well as listened to my colleages talk about companies and folks they've worked with, I thought I'd draft up a handy list identifying the various types of clients you may run into. I've found that this list is extremely official and scientific, so you should be able to refer to it and instantly identify a potential client. ;) Enjoy! ...
Which Presidential Candidate Do SEOs Prefer?
Today is Election Day in the United States, and, by most accounts, is an exceptionally important and historic one. I thought it would be valuable to get a look at the world of SEOs and how we're generally choosing to cast our ballots. There have been a few endorsements around the tech world:
Rock Climbing and SEO
First of all, this is my first post and I hope my English won't be too bad (I'm a French Canadian but I did my best). Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------- This weekend, I participated in an indoor rock climbing competition. For those who don't know how indoor rock climbing competitions are processed, it's not a race as the majority may think. Rock climbing is an individual sport focusing on the objective of surpassing ourselves to always become stronger to be able to do things that are more difficult. In competitions, routes are very difficult, so the goal is not to climb to the top as fast as possible, but to try to get as near as possible of the top. The routes are made to be difficult enough so the competitors usually fall before they reach the top.
