And now, to finish off your Thursday, here's a roundup of various news tidbits that I found interesting: Scoreboard Media Group has an encouraging post called "If At First You Don't Succeed, Quit!" Though it's rife with baseball metaphors, Brian Provost makes a fantastic point--that some...
Like most people who have featured on YOUmoz, for me blogging is a pleasure. It allows me to play at being a journalist, as well as giving me a platform to talk about a subject that fascinates me, and hopefully even lets me spread some learning.However, for many people journalism is a very serious issue indeed. The reason I say this is that today (May 17th) is the 45th birthday of a man ...
Si & I arrived late last night in Xi'an, in the Shaanxi province after 26+ hours of travel (which I don't recommend). Of course, I'm already set up online, trying to respond to dozens of emails, despite the us of an auto-responder. I think I'm feeling some empathy with Matt Cutts :) While here, I couldn't help myself but to conduct one of the most talked-about searches in regards to...
As a writer/editor for Drivl, I do a lot of image searches in order to add relevant, amusing pictures to supplement stories that either I've written or that one of our users has submitted. At first, I would default to Google for all of my image searching needs, but the relevance is often low (and sometimes porn-tastic). Yahoo! Images is sometimes better, sometim...

We have some, well, buddies over at BuddyTV, so I was interested to see that they were AuctionAds' May Publisher of the Month. "Good for them," I thought, before going, "Wait, what's AuctionAds?" Yeah, yeah, don't make fun of me. So I...
As many long time readers know, our resident black-hat blogger, G-man, survived several bouts of cancer over the last few years. Last week, I received an email from him asking if we could mention one of the most fantastic resources available for helping in the fight against the disease - World Commun...
Mystery Guest and I cruised to Yahoo! this evening and were both suddenly taken aback by what we saw: _ _ Here's a...
Happy Friday Gang! This week, Rand discusses the importance of targeting tail terms and how best to capitalize on linkbait for your target keywords. He also issues a humble correction to last week's Whiteboard Friday regarding Google's supplemental index. Enjoy!...
Before you can dream of kicking off a successful Sponsored search campaign (eg. Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, etc.) you need to understand who your client is, what he/she represents and the goals they wish to achieve. A set process needs to be formed to understand t...
Today, we're launching our second annual Web 2.0 Awards. Only a month after we'd intended on launching (SES New York and that pesky "real work" stuff kept getting in the way), we've finally collected, collated and presented just under 300 sites in forty-one categories. Some of the winners and "honorable mentions" are similar to last year; others are completely different.
Mark Scott wrote me this morning to ask about recommendations for an SEO "routine" - putting together the process for all the tasks required to successfully implement search friendliness, targeting, marketing and all the other elements of SEO. I'm happy to oblige :) At SEOmoz, we've got a fairly standard process for sites we build and market (internally) that goes something li...
A few years ago a webmaster did not have many choices available to have a search solution for their websites. That has changed dramatically, but up to last year or so ago the free site searches provided by Yahoo and Google were less than ideal. They interrupted your visitors experience by taking them to a search results page that looked entirely different than the page they were on. ...
Way back in November of last year, I asked if there was some worthy soul out amongst the Internet Marketing world who would take on the monstrous task of gathering truly comparable data from the major analytics providers simultaneously, side-by-side, on several websites and publishing the findings. Well... Ask &...
Two weeks ago, I spent 90 minutes on the phone (a lifetime for me) with Epiar's Ken Jurina and Curtis Dueck (they're in a video with WebProNews here). They walked me through their propietary and incredibly advanced, internal SEO software, explaining how they're able to provide&...
