Four Ways to Enforce Your Copyright: What to Do When Your Online Content Is Being Stolen

E-Commerce SEO

One of the most common problems facing anyone who publishes content online is copyright infringement. It's happened to me. It's happened to you. And it'll probably happen to this post too. (Oh, the irony!) What can you do when your copyright is being infringed? Don't get sad. Get letter-writing mad! There are four ways to stop someone from stealing your content. Before we dive into each of those methods, I want to preemptively address some caveats, complicating factors, and limitations of the "four methods" approach.

Moz News

Okay . . . so I did a round of interviews this week with fairly decent success (though, if I am still unemployed in a month then I guess it wasn’t successful after all, lol). Who did I meet with?

Everything is Judged By its Cover: Classified Ads and "Title Tags"

Dell Whines About Tasting and Accuses Domain Churners of Destroying Evidence

E-Commerce SEO

Dell has stepped in where I-CANN and Verisign have feared to tread by filing suit against one of the largest domain tasting networks. Dell did everything right to put itself in a good position for this lawsuit. Unfortunately, documents filed with the court last Friday, January 5, 2008 indicate that Dell may lose the case despite its efforts. Part I of this post talks about Dell v BelgiumDomains, LLC. Part II of this post asks a few questions about domain tasting.

Politicians: Four Years Late to the SEO Party

Online Advertising

It's the second of January and those of us in the United States are already pretty tired of hearing about November's Presidential Election. I'm sure the rest of you are, too. The world of social media is already flooded with stories about the U.S.'s political dramas and I can only imagine that if you're in any other country, today's offerings at Reddit might not interest you all that much.
