In honor of today's holiday, I thought I'd change up the subject and talk a little bit about leadership in a small business startup. This is a subject that I don't have nearly the authority or experience to speak about in the same way as SEO. After all, I've worked on dozens of successful search marketing projects, but only one startup - ...

Can anyone help me sift through some conflicting advice?I've been tasked with launching an updated site for a medical clinic that, through the work of a local SEO consultant, has a couple of #1 and #2 rankings for critical search terms in Google (with lesser rankings on Yahoo).

So I like reading the newspaper as well as a couple of hundred blogs and old collector editions of Assimov's and Analog's. In most cases I tend to stick to the Daily Telegraph, where I came across this little gem. In a nutshell...

In the last Whiteboard Friday (12/20/07) Rand talked with Stephan Spencer on the subject of conditional 301 redirects using user agent detection. I thought it might be useful to briefly cover how easy it is to set up Firefox to use a non-default user agent (like Yahoo, Google etc) for testing and development...
