Every industry has its own jargon, and SEO is no exception. Since there are no interviews scheduled today and I actually have some down time (shhhh, don't tell Rand, or he'll make me scrub his Pumas again), I thought I'd share my picks for SEO terms that make you go "Huh?"

Well, first of all I'm currently the only female SEOmoz blogger, and even though I tend to fall more on the tomboy side, I can still girly it up a bit from time to time. Secondly, work has been going really well for me lately, which caused me to reflect on exactly why I'm so happy with how things are going. Beho...
Today, we jumped off our chairs when we realized what had just happened. One of the major platforms that we are developing, Gigasize, was dugg today... and I can assure you it was totally unplanned. We were in alpha phase, testing out functionalities, improving usability, etc., and then BOOM... thousands and thousands of visitors, peaking ...

One of the most consistent problems I see when conducting site reviews for clients is keyword self-cannibalization - the practice of heavily targeting the same keyword phrase on multiple pages of a site. In my opinion, sites are shooting themselves in the foot when they do this. Let's look at a few quick examples: ...
SEOmoz is hiring! Check out the post on Craigslist: Do You Use Your Powers for Good... Or for Awesome? I debated posting this job on the blog, but it wouldn't fit with our open culture to keep it private, and folks already in the search marketing sphere could make excellent candida...
Although it's a bit hard to follow, Dr. Garcia (aka Orion), who operates the Miislita site and blog, has a great blog post on the Latest SEO Incoherences (a clever acronym pun on LSI). He ta...
Last night I attended Seattle's small (but growing) Web 2.0 roundtable, hosted by the kind folks at Wetpaint. The traffic was a bit tough, due to a Mariners game across the street, but we managed to start right around 6pm and the hours flew by. The companies represented included: PayscaleTheir site isn't as "open&...
