This year I decided to deviate a bit from the 100% SEO/SEM conference route I typically attend (like this one or this one), and went for an Internet conference that takes place in Paris: LeWeb. It is organised by the founder of Seesmic...
2011 is here, and that means it's time for our biennial search engine ranking factors survey to be renewed. This year, we're planning something much bigger and, we hope, better. Our plan is to offer a report that provides: Aggregated expert opinions on the importance of factors individually and ranking influencers ove...
Google has gone to great lengths lately to incorporate local data wherever it can. Google Place Search rolled out in late October and services such as Google Tags and Google Boost offer increased visibility, for a price. It’s only natural that we would want to know if investing in these add-ons is actually worthwhile. Most of us naturally would turn to Google Ana...

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...

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...
