Yahoo! Panama - An Interview with Mona Elesseily
It's sad that we don't cover the paid side of search marketing here at SEOmoz with more frequency, but with a little luck and some elbow grease (or, at least, borrowed expertise), I'm trying to dip our toe a bit deeper. Thus, it's with great pleasure that I welcome Mona Elesseily from Page Zero. Mona's a paid search guru, a fellow Northwesterner (albeit a Canadian one) and one of my favori...

Answers to Questions for Rand: Round 2
Sorry it's taken me so long to get to all of these. The past few days trying to get grounded after a week in Stockholm have been even busier than the usual (and that's saying something). With a little luck, though, we'll have two very exciting announcements tomorrow and Thursday, and we've managed to get some great YOUmoz entries over the last few days - keep 'em coming! For those who m...

Finding Your Niche
I had mentioned the other day that I was changing my SEO ways. As Gab had correctly observed, I had spread myself too thin. So this week I’ve been doing an audit of each of my sites, looking at current rankings, traffic, etc. And looking at how competitive each niche area was. The whole process got me thinking about how we s...
My Personal Experience at SMX Buenos Aires
I’ve been living in the US since 1999 but I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Every time I go to Buenos Aires I lose my routine of being online almost 13 hours a day. I miss the internet connection but I am able to enjoy other things like family, food, friends, and good weather (I live in Buffalo, NY, so ima...
Aggregate Detail on the Numbers from Google's October 2007 Toolbar PageRank Updates
Just a little under two weeks ago, we received numerous reports that a very large number of sites had experienced a sudden drop in Page Rank. Many immediately began claiming that Google had rolled out an update for its rank formula to penalize for paid links. Others played down these reports offering that their own sites had experienced no change at all. How do...

Finding a Good Web Design / SEO Firm (When You Already Are One)
This afternoon I have the privilege of interviewing a web design firm for a fairly large project. I'm currently in discussions with a company to become the COO of a nicely funded semi-startup, and unfortunately the owners of the firm have already selected a web design firm (thankfully I'm not bound to keep them in any way). As one of the final steps before I take this role, ...

How to Optimise Your Site for Each Individual Search Engine
Rebecca posted an interesting post yesterday discussing whether we should optimise sites for different search engines. While creating pages with different keyword densities sounds like an idea that might work it's a lot harder in practice.The technique I've used in the past is to change the ...
Should You Optimize Your Site For Each Individual Search Engine?
I was reading through Search Engine Land today (as I do every day--kissuptodannykissuptodanny) and came across the following blurb in Stoney deGeyter's 10 Useless SEO Worries post: Don't think that you need to optimize a page for each search engine. It doesn't work that way. Just do good optimization and all eng...
Plan for the Holidays Nice and Early By Analyzing Search Trends
Happy Halloween, everyone! We here at SEOmoz are all dressed as internet marketers! Wheee! Did you adequately prepare for the holiday? Have your costume picked out and ready to go? Pumpkins carved into spooky jack-o-lanterns? Decorations put up? Candy purchased (none of those healthy granola bars, or your house'll get egged)? Site optimized for all that lovely holiday traffic? No? Uh oh......
Please Stop Spamming Me for Votes
Let me walk you through my morning thus far. I came into the office, logged on to Trillian, and started working. I received an IM from an SEO who made some small talk before getting to the point: he wanted me to digg/reddit about four stories. I clicked on the links and (pay attention here) voted for the ones I thought were interesting. I keep working. I notice that I get several email no...
Hey Google, I'm Over Here! (a 301 Experiment)
Recently, I made the difficult decision to change the domain name of my blog and consulting website. It had to be done; the old name just didn't make sense anymore, no one could spell it, and it was terrible for SEO. Of course, I knew all of the rules of successful 301 redirection, in theory, but when it came to putting theory into practice, I found myself dreading pulling the switch....
