Earlier this year I attended LinkLove New Orleans a search conference put on by Distilled and SEOMoz and learned a lot of advanced SEO tactics. One of the things that really piqued my interest at the conference was Rand mentioning that retweets can affect rankings and he mentioned a post on his blog for further reading. He stressed that this was a preliminary finding and that...
In my travels within the heavily forested circles of Search Marketing I have noticed that agencies act as various tribes, fiercely guarding the heavenly manna of insider information regarding their SEO and Link Building rituals. It has been difficult to pin down exactly what would be construed as the “right” way to build links.

My startup, GiftRocket gift cards, first launched our blog in June 2011. Our objectives were to increase awareness of our product and to build link-worthy content. All pretty standard stuff for an early stage startup who wanted to do better in the rankings.
Hi Google. It’s been great between us, hasn’t it? You’ve always provided great research and measurement tools to support a great search engine, and in return, I’ve done my best to create quality material on the web. Inbound marketers and Google working together, we’ve been improving the Internet one quality web page after another for a while now.

Emotions are a strong motivator of human behavior. This is even true on the web. The more that ranking signals continue to evolve, the more significant the role that emotion-motivated actions play in search engine optimization.

Matt Cutts announced at Pubcon that Googlebot is "getting smarter." He also announced that Googlebot can crawl AJAX to retrieve Facebook comments coincidentally only hours after I unveiled Joshua Giardino's research that suggested Googlebot is actually a headless browser based off the Chromium codebase at SearchLove New York. I'm going to challenge Matt Cutts's statements, Googlebot hasn't just recently gotten smarter, it actually hasn’t been a text-based crawler for some time now; nor has BingBot or Slurp for that matter. There is evidence that Search Robots are headless web browsers and the Search Engines have had this capability since 2004.
Hey gang - it's that magical time again when Linkscape's web index has updated with brand new data (for the second time this month). Open Site Explorer, the Mozbar and the PRO Web App...
Google Plus is Google's latest attempt at building an explicit social graph that they control, but Google has been building out an implicit social graph for quite some time. This graph is still relatively naive compared to the maturity of the link graph, but search engines continue to develop this graph. Since it is already directly influencing rankings, and its value will increase, it&r...
As I’m typing this, I’m on my way home from an invaluable trip to Distilled’s SearchLove in London (I know, this post has been on the shelf for quite some time). I must say I enjoyed every single one of the presentations, but one really appealed to me. This was the one from ...
