Awoke did I unto a dream,Of search delight from Mozzer’s team. A move afoot, a man named Rand, Community building, was well at hand. To rule the SERPs a common goal, And steal a bite off G’s control. Compelling place thi...
I just signed up for the early bird registration with Webmaster World to attend my first Pubcon. It's in Las Vegas, December 4-7, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It sounds like it will be quite an event. Are you going to be there?
If you’re expecting me to provide the answer to this, I’m very sorry but I can’t! It’s because I don’t have the answer I felt it would be a genuine topic for discussion. If only for my sake as choosing any reliable and talented partner in any industry is difficult enough but to find genuine partners in the SEO world, well according to web developer&rsqu...
Of recent I have seen some interesting posts and activity on the blogs and Youmoz posts, which kind of geared me into writing this post. But before you go any deeper, remember I claim right to the disclaimer and it applies to the below – the ideas, suggestions are mine, and not reflection of anyone else or complaints – simply observatio...

I'm going to let you in on a secret. SEOmoz is about change. Just in the past couple of weeks Matt has announced he's leaving (best of luck again!) and Rand has broken the news that SEOmoz is taking on external funding. As well as all that though, I can still remember when premium content launched and when Jane got hired. Jeez, I think I can even recall Rebecca getting hired.
Is the A-list of bloggers a closed list?This is a question that has been bothering me for a while and that I'm blogging on Youmoz about because it needs the greatest audience possible - something that my non-A status can't provide. The A-list, as I define it, is that circle of experts and authorities that are most widely followed in any particular realm. In monetizing blogs, you ...
Last week, the New York Times opened up their 13 million document archive and dropped their Times Select program (which allowed access in exchange for a fee). This move was covered extensively in the blogosphere and even influenced other giants in the online publishi...
I need a humor break. I responded to buybigtires post about passion in writing by suggesting that connecting disparate concepts helps squeeze some creative juice. In response to my proposal of the title "How Are SEOs Like Jellyfish?" he responded like this:Because we have no spine....are constantly kept in the dark....
Like many fans of the web, I've been a great admirer of Robert Scoble, noted technology blogger and former Microsoftee, since I first saw his work (probably around 2004). However, after watching this bizarre video on how Mahalo, Facebook & Techmeme are going to beat Google in search, I think I'll have a tough time respecting his opinions on future topics. Let me get this straight fo...
1. Tech… You understand everything, absolutely everything that is posted on Google Webmaster Central Blog and Digital Point Design & Development Forums and more, you know that flash is not entirely a bad, and that AJAX and JavaScript can be effectively coded in. You also realize that maintenance and SEO objectives for a client are entirely differen...
Rand wrote an interesting post about 10 questions you should ask to determine your value as an SEO. It's a good read, especially the comments. It's no secret that I've been frequently dissapointed by the level of knowledge of many SEO companies, even those who have a big prese...
It looks like our ten questions post was a hit. To follow up, our own, intrepid point man, Scott Willoughby, will be crafting an advanced test/quiz on many different SEO topics - some fun, some serious - and should have it launched in the next 3-4 weeks. Await with bated breath (I know I am) And now, the answers to last night's SEO questions: What four search engines ...
If you haven't heard of Sphinn by now there is a good chance that you've spent the last couple of weeks in a black hole. But whilst the new site is generating a lot of buzz, it could be said that it's also been getting a bit confusing. Why? Because every man and his dog have released Sphinn widgets, or feed flares, or something. So I've collected all the ones that I could...
I’m on holiday at the moment (although my wife might argue with that, considering that I have written this blog post) and so I’ve had a lot of time to consider the conversation going on at, and about, Sphinn right now, and especially Rand’s opinion on it.In a post entitled “Sphinn.com is basically just a popularity contest” T...
