Who am I? What credentials do I have to convince you that what I have to say is worth listening to? Truth be told, I have no credentials. I'm just a web developer that happens to rank decently for a relatively non-competitive keyword. However, this lack of credibility makes this blog post that much more effective. How so? You're more likely to be skeptical of my advice, and s...
Facebook's had an incredible run for the last 6 years: source Twitter's had a remarkable 4 years under their belt:...
Today is my last day at SEOmoz. I have been here for about three and half years and it really has been one the most important experiences of my life. I met fascinating people, traveled the world, ...
It's the New Year and I can guarantee there will be a ton of new people at my gym this week ready to work on their resolutions (and generally getting in the way ). In SEO, some resolutions might include working on personal sites (I might have a few abandoned sites...) or writing more blog posts. Resolutions have never really worked for me though. So instead of giving you SEO resolutions for 2011, I'd like to inspire some exploration in the New Year when it comes to your search marketing campaigns.

We often get asked, "What apps do the SEOmoz team use?" To answer this question, we decided to put together a video and blog post with the Top 10 Web Apps We Love here at SEOmoz.
Earlier this month we gave you the top SEOmoz posts from 2010 based on the total number of thumbs up, traffic, backlinks and tweets. But that wasn't enough, and the community asked for more! You wanted to see the posts with the most comments and the comments with the most thumbs up (as I screwed that list up in the last post). So I decided to even take it one step further and see which community members commented the most in 2010 also.
December has been a surprisingly busy month for my email inbox, with questions on nearly every SEO subject imaginable. In answering many of these quandries, a common theme emerged - that many marketers engage in SEO challenges with a singular focus on the most common / best practice techniques and don't stray into a creative, imaginative mindset to find alternatives. Here, then, are six...
It's that time of year when it's not uncommon to be sitting by a fire, sipping a glass of Egg Nog (with brandy), and listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas on the stereo. Wait... that might only be me. Whatever your holiday traditions may be, SEOmoz is pleased to present the 'Top 10 Things We Learned About SEO in 2010', with special guest, Rand Claus. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the video (the Egg Nog is optional)! From all of us at SEOmoz, we hope you have a wonderful holiday!
During the finale of the SEO Pro Seminar in London, Rand presented on reverse engineering the rankings delivered by the search engines. In my opinion this was the biggest ‘take away’ as this represented a practical approach to what we do every day – trying to understand the weighting of the important elements in SEO. As SEO’s we’re continually facing t...
Over the past few months our dev and product teams have been busy little bees working on some pretty exciting new enhancements and upgrades to the web app. Since it's the holiday season... we might even liken them to Santa's little elves building toys for all the good little SEOs around the world.[photo]We've been rolling out quite a few updates each week. Some you've probably not...
It's that magical time of year when all of us who foolishly assumed the mantle of clairvoyance last December check up on our abilities and repeat our arrogant presumption again. Not surprisingly, something compels me to try again, despite the odds, but I am feeling a bit whimsical tonight, so let's make a game out of the prediction practice. For each prediction (mine and others), w...
With Google's recent implementation of Places Search, it is now more important than ever for local businesses to have high-quality, complete Google Places listings. One of the ranking (and conversion) factors for business listings is user generated content in the form of reviews and citations. Not very long ago, Google ...
Back in October, Google added the ability to easily change the location from where you search. We ran an experiment to see if this is a reliable tool for Local SEO.
Google’s attempted takeover of Groupon has brought to the forefront of search engine discussion the importance of local search, and if it wasn’t already on your mind, it definitely is now. This hubbub over local just so happens to coincide with my entry into the independent web designer world - I’ve started my own business and I’m working with small businesses in my area to get them online and optimized for the local search revolution that has already begun.
