Want to know what a typical day at the SEOmoz office looks like? How's about I give you a sneak peek? Here's a day in the life of an SEOmozzer, from start to finish... 7:15 am: Wake up 7:45 am: Head to gym 8:00-9:00 am: Work out 9:00-10:00 am: Drive home, shower, get ready for work 10:15 am: Get to office 10:20 am: Have a bagel (Blueberry....
Sorry it's taken me so long to get to all of these. The past few days trying to get grounded after a week in Stockholm have been even busier than the usual (and that's saying something). With a little luck, though, we'll have two very exciting announcements tomorrow and Thursday, and we've managed to get some great YOUmoz entries over the last few days - keep 'em coming! For those who m...
For the next few weeks, my blog posts will primarily consist of re-authoring and re-building the Beginner's Guide to Search Engine Optimization, section by section. You can read more about this project here. Part III...
I was reading through Search Engine Land today (as I do every day--kissuptodannykissuptodanny) and came across the following blurb in Stoney deGeyter's 10 Useless SEO Worries post: Don't think that you need to optimize a page for each search engine. It doesn't work that way. Just do good optimization and all eng...

Here is a new gadget that displays four things from SEOmoz besides the blog.I am going to just put a screenshot of it here, but you can see it live on SEOish. To add it to iGoogle you can click the "add to Google" button below....
First things first - go watch this video of Amanda Camp explaining her job at Google's Webmaster Central. There's a critical lesson in her 90 seconds on tape that's incredibly revealing. If you listen carefully, what Amanda's saying is, "yes, we read your comments, we read your questions, we look at all your spam reports, but we don'...
I've gotten a few emails asking if I'd be willing to do a blog post thread similar to Shoemoney's Ask Questions & Get Answers series. I've actually been meaning to put this up earlier, but keep running into other posts I'd like to author....
I'm on a plane from Newark to Seattle. It's late at night, and the first hour was spent on the ground waiting for low CIGS (low ceilings of clouds & rain) to clear. So, while I still have another 4.5 hours in front of me, I'm just grateful to be in the air. The last week was a whirlwind – although that's nothing new. For the last 4 ...
Six months ago, I was a very different person. SEO was something I knew little about(I still do not claim to have above a beginner's understanding), and I was running an OS that I did not care for. Then one day, after struggling with a lousy driver install and a Lexmark printer(Die!! Lexmark...DIE!!!) I said some rather foul words, and went to the Ubuntu website, intending to dual bo...
As many of you know, Rand travels quite a bit for his work, leaving me at home with Raul, the cabana boy. All is well for the first few hours, until I grow tired of Raul's deep tissue massages and the peeled grapes he insists on feeding me. After that, I tend to get a little bored and lonely. I'm assuming the other conference widows out there feel the same way, and as such, I'...
It's late, and I should be wrapping up Q+A (or at least blogging on my promised topic of the Beginner's Guide) and getting some shut eye, but I simply couldn't resist sharing some thoughts about the web-based fervor for Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul. For those who don't know, Paul's supporters are possibly the most organized and galvanized web community in the modern political spec...
I have a humble request. Fall has come, so I am back in school for the last year. I enrolled in a magazine writing class because I thought it would be fun. So far it has not been fun at all, but our first assignment is to profile a person, business, or organization. I lovingly think of SEOmoz as all three, in a way, and I knew right away that I wanted to do my article on it.
This week we're diving into the hiring game - trying to find the people who will help us make both the free and premium content on the site even more valuable over the weeks and months to come. Jane's in charge of hiring our new customer service / office manager and Jeff's doing double-duty, seeking out both a web developer and a GUI designer. We've already received one resume that's so incredi...
