It's been 12 long months of intense anticipation, but the waiting is finally over. Today, I'm ecstatic to announce some very big new developments here at SEOmoz. They include: An Index of the World Wide Web – 30 Billion pages, refreshed (and grown) monthly, built to help provide SEOs and businesses acquire greater intelligen...
It's almost here. This is the project I've been dreaming of launching since 2003 and after 12 months of research and development and an extremely large investment (especially for a small company like SEOmoz), we're nearly at the finish line. On October 6th, SEOmoz will introduce a lot of substantial changes to our website, including: A New Design, cou...
A year ago I wrote about Jim Collins' book - Good to Great - on the blog and invited companies and organizations to ask themselves how they stacked up to the qualities that make a company "great." Today, after a long and at times, challenging, process, SEOmoz is moving one step further in striving for that goal by formally announcing our guiding principles. Many companies have...
What up, YOUmoz? As you know, SEOmoz recently released The Professional's Guide to PageRank Optimization, which contains what some are calling "the greatest explanation of PageRank in the known Universe." Actually, it's ...

There is one ranking factor that you almost never see mentioned on any of the popular SEM blogs. You might see it mentioned on a forum, or a blog comment but it’s definitely a topic that isn’t discussed enough or in any amount of detail. I’m going to do what I can to shed some light on the matter. The tests that I reference are not done in a scientific way and might not be entire...
Some months ago there was a little discussion about meta geo tags following one of Rand's Whiteboard Friday presentations. It seemed like the tags were dismissed as being open to exploitation and probably ignored by the search engines. Lately, though, we've been having a lot of success with helping our smal...
In just a few weeks, the SEOmoz blog will be celebrating its 4th birthday (the tools and some of the content has been around since 2003, but we think of October 2004 as the formal inception date). In that time, we've come a long way and attracted many of the best and brightest from the search community to participate and communicate through the Blog & YOUmoz. Up until now, though, we've nev...
Sunday night. Rays of sunshine are pouring in heat through the skies above Los Angeles, penetrating the plane's interior despite the drawn windowshades. Mystery Guest is next to me, reading a book we picked up on the Santa Monica pier today, and a Macromedia Flash document is calling to me from the desktop tray, but I'm in the writing mood, so it'll have to wait a little longer. SEOmoz ...
Ladies and gentlemen, another guide has seen the light of day! Hooray! Our newest debut is The Professional's Guide to Advanced Search Operators. Available in web and document format, this guide covers advanced searching and identifies various search operators that can help with competitive analysis, k...
Some people just "get" the web. I don't know how to explain this phenomenon effectively or convey a reasonable set of criteria upon which a person could be judged, but there's no doubt about it. I think back to the first time I heard Greg Boser or Jessie Stricchiola speak at a conference, the first few blog posts I read at MindValleyLabs, the first time I sat down with my friend ...
I was hacked! I feel so…so violated. And stupid. All of my business contacts, work in progress and other critical information were in the hands of some hacker, cracker or script-kiddie. And how did I find out? My credit card company called to ask if I’d bought a bicycle in Taiwan. Or clothes in Paris. Not only was I hacked, the black hat got m...
I'm pleased to announce that after quite a lull in guide publications, we've got 5 great guides on their way. Today we're launching one of them, The Professional's Guide to Blogging. Available in web and document format, the blogging guide provides an in-depth look at what blogging is and how a new blogger can create, ...
In June of this year, I presented on the "Give It Up" panel at SMX Advanced. Although some of the material shared by panelists during that session was gray and black hat, my presentation was nearly entirely white hat, and I think that these tips should prove valuable for anyone in the SEO industry. This presentation was broken into 3 parts, and I'll maintain that segmentation here on ...
This past week has been a particularly frustrating one for me, and I felt compelled to share more about the behind-the-scenes operations here at SEOmoz, particularly as it pertains to the blog and recent controversy surrounding Marty's YOUmoz post. I'm choosing to share this information via YOUmoz, rather than the m...
