What if the Ron Paul Fans Became SEO Savvy?

It's late, and I should be wrapping up Q+A (or at least blogging on my promised topic of the Beginner's Guide) and getting some shut eye, but I simply couldn't resist sharing some thoughts about the web-based fervor for Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul. For those who don't know, Paul's supporters are possibly the most organized and galvanized web community in the modern political spec...

Whiteboard Friday - "Sir Links-A-Lot"

Hey Gang, After a brief departure (in which Jeff aptly covered Whiteboard Friday duties) I'm back to present you with this week's WBF. This week, Rand discusses some of the unique ways to implement links on your sites (and others) beyond the standard-issue text link; including the pitfalls and benefits of each. Why bother, you ask?

A Humble Request for All SEOmoz Staff and Readers

A Humble Request for All SEOmoz Staff and Readers

I have a humble request. Fall has come, so I am back in school for the last year. I enrolled in a magazine writing class because I thought it would be fun. So far it has not been fun at all, but our first assignment is to profile a person, business, or organization. I lovingly think of SEOmoz as all three, in a way, and I knew right away that I wanted to do my article on it.

I welcome all other SEO specialists to share their thoughts on this topic and help me and others get a better understanding of this. ...

I'm sorry seomoz its just a short fling, it doesn't mean anything) I found out to my dissapointment that his always excellent content had been publish...

Google Dominating Hollywood as Well as the Search Demographic

Google Dominating Hollywood as Well as the Search Demographic

The other night I was watching Knocked Up, and in the movie there are a few references to "Googling" something. For example, in one scene the older daughter is riding in a car and casually says "I Googled murder," while in another scene Leslie Mann's character asks Paul Rudd to "Google" their daughter's symptoms to determine whether she has the chicken pox or a rash. I also recently saw The Bourne Ultimatum, and in one scene Jason Bourne uses Google to search for an agent's name, and later on there is a car chase where the guys in one car are using Google Maps o...
