PPC and SEO may be siblings, but their contention with one another can run deep. Danny helps us sort out the strife and bring this band of brothers together (and actually keeps his bias out of it, kind of!)
As of yesterday, both Bing and Google have confirmed (via an excellent interview by Danny Sullivan) that links shared through Twitter and Facebook have a direct impact on rankings (in addition to the positive second-order effects they may have on the link graph). ...

You hear nearly every day that the effects of the recession persist despite being officially “over.” Unemployment and even underemployment remain uncomfortably high. And yet, judging by popular online marketing job boards in my region and ...
Every few years I make a browser switch and my web use evolves sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. My particular evolution went something like this: Netscape, IE, KDE Konquerer (switched from Windows98 to Debian - so no more IE), Mozilla Phoenix (early Firefox), IE (what do you know... went back to Windows), Firefox, IE, Firefox, and over the last year Chrome. My latest switc...
The holidays are right around the corner (Hanukkah actually starts tonight) and I'm excited to announce our second annual San Diego meetup is ready to rock. Tuesday, December 21st, I'll be in downtown San Diego jointly hosting a brief...

Yup, that's right...they can't take on new clients. They have TOO much work! This is good for all sorts of reasons.

When a business friend offered to host a blog for me at no charge, it was an offer that I could not pass up. This generous offer led to the development of the Internet Marketing Remarks blog. A side benefit of starting a blog from scratch is that it allows for testing of SEO tactics with a cle...
As you probably noticed, last week Google did a pretty big makeover of its local search results page, incorporating the local results directly within the organic results. In some cases it appeared that the old “7-Pack” was just given larger real estate on the SERP. In others, it just looked like the websites were just given links to their Places page. And sometimes, it just looked l...
Happy Thanksgiving! In case you haven't heard, this week Seattle underwent the most brutal snow storm in the history of mankind. To call it a snowpocalypse would be an understatement, as can be witnessed herein (it gets good so keep watching!). Unfortunately, Danny Dover was the one up to bat this week for Whiteboard Friday, but he perished in the harsh...
There's been a lot of discussion about the effects, or lack thereof, of Google Instant on SEO. Initial reactions seem to have polarized users, and while it's probably too soon to predict Instant's impact on search behavior, this may be a good time to raise some questions I've been dwelling on recently regarding the state of optimization. ...
I was having a hard time finding the topic I wanted to write about on my first YOUMoz post. So, I did what I do for my clients and started keyword research on the topic I was thinking about. Then I thought, wait, that’s a perfect thing to write about… how to find blogging topics. We have clients reach out to us...
