Social Media Manipulation Runs Rampant
I'm barely qualified to bring up this subject, as SEOmoz has certainly had our fair share of asking a friend to submit something to Digg, give us a boost on Reddit or add a tag at Del.icio.us, but I was pretty surprised to see the level to which social media manipulation has been taken:...
12 Tips to Optimize Your Networking at Search Conferences
With the industry's largest annual event starting next Monday, I figured it's high time to give out some advice about networking in person at search conferences like SES San Jose. I've been trying to limit my list format posts, but there's really no better way to present the topics, so here goes: Dress Appropriately Make Eye Contact Employ Appropri...
Contribute Feedback for the MSN/Live Search Team (And Be Heard)
This coming Thursday, I've been invited to present to the Live Search team over in Redmond. We'll be discussing all sorts of issues, including spam on Live, increasing retention rates for searchers and growing relationships between Live and webmasters.

Whiteboard Friday - "Which Way Did He Go?"
Hey Gang, Whiteboard Friday time again and, since Rand is once again out of town, I've enlisted yet another Mozzer to take his place. This week, developer extraordinaire, Jeff Pollard takes us on a brief tutorial of the wild and crazy world of 301 redirects. We get a lot of questions about how and when to use these tremendously valuable little buggers, so we thought it's be a ...
Dominate the Blogosphere the Wired Way
While I was in the Detroit airport earlier this week, I picked up a copy of the current issue of Wired. August's issue focused on a series of "How To's", one of them being "How to Rule the Blogosphere." I was interested in reading what tips they had to offer, only to find out that their ...

Combine & Conquer - The Accretive Powers of Joining Pages Together
Just a quick tip tonight, since technically I'm supposed to be on vacation. One great way to help improve some of your rankings on a blog, content site or virtually any domain with lots of pages on similar topics is to eliminate the keyword cannibalization by 301'ing multiple pages relevant to a query/keyword to the highest ranking page. Here's a quick example: For the query - SEO Prici...
When to Respond to Criticism, and When to Keep Quiet
In this week's Whiteboard Friday, Rand advocates responding to the online criticism that comes your way, usually via forums and blogs. He talks about politely taking responsibility for the things you've done wrong and equally politely trying to explain your position.
Whiteboard Friday - "Whatchu Talkin Bout?"
Hey Gang, Rand's back briefly to give a quick Whiteboard Friday lesson in reputation management. Following his directory smackdown a couple of weeks ago following the release of the Premium Link Directory, we caught some heat in the forums (albeit largely ...
Sexiest man in SEO
Recently I was doing some localised keyword research targeting my home-town of Brisbane Australia. Whilst going through some of the search results, I came across a guy who was attempting to rank for the term 'Best looking man in Brisbane'.I thought that this was pretty entertaining and thought that I'd go one better and attempt to rank for 'Sexiest man in Brisbane...
