While many of these may apply to anyone within the industries, the self-employed souls should certainly identify with... Everyone you know thinks you have the greatest life.... sleeping in until 11 everyday and then "playing around" online all day or watching TV, yet, ironically, you can't remember the last time you got more than 5 hours of sleep... and probably can...
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...
My mornings start off virtually the same every work day. First, quickly browse and see how our Google/Yahoo/MSN paid search accounts are going and second, check the latest news from England about the Premiership league and my team, Manchester United. Today was a bit different then other days. I noticed something intriguing and whimsical. The ...

Although the exact name escapes me at the moment for some reason (blame it on the chemo - yeah right!), if you're working for yourself or even if you're not there's something that you absolutely, without a doubt should think about. What am I talking about? Catastrophic insurance. It's the type of inurance that will protect you from calamaties when you lose your job because o...
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 a music lover I'm obviously excited about the fact that it will soon be possible to donwload The Beatles' back catalogue on iTunes (although I have to worry about anyone who doesn't own most of it already). But what would really please me is if it was possible to download lots more stuff too....

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...
