This guide came around as the result of a post I previously wrote for YOUmoz, which in itself came around as a result of a night of drinking and being sent an interesting Google SERP. That post focused on the URL parameters you can feed into Google to generate SERPs.This time however I’m looking at Google Maps....

I've complied a list of audio that will help you learn SEO, ranging from Interviews to Tips and Secrets. Listen to this SEO audio and become an expert in minutes.
Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: Three star links: * Soxialize came out with Tweet Pro, a service that allows you to quickly and easily find Twitter users who share your same interest by searching through posted messages and profiles using keywords you enter. * Richard Baxter teaches us how to create a new page template in Wordpress for social media targeting. Lately he's been providing some solid tips and posts on his blog, so check it out if you haven't already.
This tip is probably one of the simplest ways to gain links through conservation. A lot of SEO advice talks about double-checking links that point to 404 pages, as these are lost potential. If a link points to a page that doesn't resolve, it's generally accepted wisdom that the engines won't give any benefit to the domain or any particular page. Certainly, with something around ...
Yahoo!, through both Site Explorer and their advanced link search operators, provides the most robust link data currently available on the web. Despite this offering, and in spite of some excellent blog posts and resources on this subject (1, 2, ...

Another business-focussed post from me today (with a little SEO at the end). I was answering a Q&A the other day in a kind of tag-team formation with Rand when I realised that some of my thinking would make a good blog post. The question was about how to grow a new agency and asked whether we thought that contacting site owners and pointing out flaws / suggesting improvements was a good way to win new business. Rand and I sung with one voice to say (paraphrased) that we weren't big fans of the cold approach and that networking (both online and offline) was one of the keys to success. I wanted to elaborate on that a little bit.
I must have missed something. I always thought Google doesn't see links inside JavaScript code. As Rand writes in the Beginner's Guide, JavaScript passes no ranking or spidering value and pages behind JavaScript navigation may never be found by search engines if they are not reachable v...
