PubCon does an amazing job of putting together a schedule that covers a multitude of tracks and topics. Unfortunately because of this I often end up with a case of "session envy." You know, when you're sitting in a session and you start to see tweets about how great another session is. It doesn't even mean that the one you're in is bad, it's just that you want to be in tw...
The long tail of search demand has been around since the dawn of web search and, since that time, search marketers have been attempting to tap into the powerful stream that high quantities of unique content can provide. I recently came across some great data from Hitwise (about 1 year old, but still highly relevant) showing off just how substantive the long tail can be. Bill Tancer's post ...
I'm a big Google fan - my wife often sleeps in their t-shirts, I speak on panels with Googlers all the time and I've even got a Google water bottle for working out (which happens all of once a month these days). However, I am NOT a fan of the Google link command, and I'm shocked by the number of folks who operate in and around the SEO and technology industries who haven't realized this. ...

Happy Wednesday, Whiteboard Friday Fans! You may have noticed that there was no new Whiteboard Friday on, well, Friday. That's because a sizable battalion of the mozSquad went to Vegas for PubCon and, alas, I didn't bring the camera with me (it's actually prohibited by law--what happens in Vegas, and all that). Nonetheless, Rand and I feel horribly guilty about leaving you sans-WBF ...
I've been connecting with a lot of site owners who are re-entering or ramping up their efforts in the blogosphere. I suspect this has something to do with the focus on content creation + linkbait in the SEO world's dialogue as well as the potential new traffic streams bloggers are feeling from the surge of linking via Twitter. Whatever the case, there's a few critical pieces that can help make ...
Last week at Pubcon Las Vegas, I presented on Linkfluence: How to Buy Links with Maximum Juice and Minimum Effort with fellow panelists Roger Montti (Martinibuster), Aaron Wall (SEOBook) and Todd Malicoat (...
I'm going to share some data visualisation tips today that I reckon I could use to beat up on Rand in a presentation-off. We have recently been doing some deep dives into clients' and prospects' link profiles which gave me an excuse to mash up some Linkscape API data in Excel.
In a week dominated by Veterans Day news stories and Pubcon coverage, Google and Bing announced several product changing rollouts, as well as some game changing acquisitions. ...
I'm reporting live from Pubcon Las Vegas this week, along with some of the SEOmoz team. To be honest, we’ve struggled a bit with how to cover the conference here on the blog. As someone who only hits a couple of conferences per year, I know how annoying it can be to have to hear how great an event is that you already regret not being able to go to. On top of that, sometimes information that seem...
We all know about the Linkerati by now - how to identify them, how they're segmented and why they're the secret to SEO. Yet, time and aga...
So what's the trick? How do these folks who run around calling themselves SEOs actually know SEO? Do they just make it up? Is there a class you take somewhere? This week Rand looks at exactly this question: where do these guys (and gals) learn the stuff they know and how do they stay on top of the ever-changing search landscape to make sure they're putting forth best pra...
