A couple months ago, Jim Boykin and crew at WeBuildPages launched a training seminar called "Link Ninjas". In my opinion, not only was this a damn cool idea, it was well executed and a good way to get training in that most difficult of SEO ...
I've re-created the old recommended SEO firms list here - Recommended SEO, Web Development & Support Firms. If you know that you should be on there, but aren't listed, drop me a line. Likewise if you find errors, omissions or want to be listed in a different category. I'm referring 4-6 people every day now, so hopefully you'll get so...
My personal opinion is that you can't be an SEO "expert" without understanding the black hat side of the debate - the techniques that are working, those that don't, how money is made in that sector, and what the latest in hijacking, link spamming and automated content...
Jill Whalen's linking to a good post on her (new?) blog through her signature at HighRankings. I like what she's got to say: Often, when they get their answer, they write back with something like, “But, so-and-so SEO guru wrote this article here at [insert stupid SEO site that prints ...

Jim (of WeBuildPages) was interviewed by Aaron Pratt of SEO Buzzbox (a site I hadn't heard about until today). In it, he talks about the last few years of running an SEO company, getting called out for being "evil" by Matt Cutts and touches on how he's gotten "whiter" with the times. It's a ...
Kim's got some very wise words about everything from "party pooper" Jakob Nielsen to the obligation of SEO/Ms to give back to the web. It's a solid read: ...
I really liked this post from Kim Krause Berg regarding her schedule, her views on working at home or choosing an office and her thoughtful dialogue on a Threadwatch thread about men working at home (as opposed to women who do it). I've been meaning to p...
Aaron Wall is struggling with the forces of the publishing world, who've re-nigged on their original agreement to let him maintain e-book publishing rights if they take his book to press. Aaron has a lot of positives and ne...
I contracted out a keyword research report from Dan Thies yesterday afternoon (hard to believe they're only $99) and spoke a little on the phone. Dan has a lot of cool stuff coming up, including a limited engagement...
This is a totally worthwhile read (if a little long). Mr. Wall (of SEOBook) gives Matt some floaters, some tough questions and some in the middle and Matt answers them all with honesty and...
Hurricane Katrina has taken a devastating toll on the gulf states of the US and the people who lived there. The SEO world has responded with a variety of donations and contributions, as well as threads, posts and information relating to the subject. DazzlinDo...
Aaron Wall has an important blog today on the subject of war in Uganda. Don't think to yourself "hey, it's not my problem," just head over to the post, read it, and form your own opinions. There's a chance for the online world to make a big difference, so let's get to it. In other news, I'm leaving for San Jose tomorrow morning ...
For entertainment purposes, it's really not necessary to leave the SEO forums. Case in Point - a post last night that has kept up all morning at SEOChat. There's some good back and forth on white vs. gray vs. black, and some admissions of all types from people of all types. Plus, there's a theory ...
Ian has been found - the details are at Threadwatch. He's in the Atlanta airport, delayed due to a lack of a passport and an especially prickly TSA. I haven't felt this relieved in a long time....
