I keep getting bugs in my ear (or little birdies) dropping hints that Yahoo!'s organic search is predisposed against websites serving AdSense. That' s not to say that many sites serving the Google ads don't rank well at Yahoo!, but rather that Yahoo! has some negative associations with AdSense serving content and won't be as friendly as they should be. I've heard this rumor two way...
Recently, with the success of YouTube, up to 40 videoblog platforms are trying to grasp a part of their marketshare. But what is it all about? The upcoming articles will be trying to identify how the emergence of videoblogging (aka vlogging) can benefit video amateurs and professionals, as well as SEO marketers, journalists and compani...
Suw Charman is covering Xtech in Amsterdam. Today she put up a fascinating presentation from Paul Graham - How American are Startups? There's no direct relationship to SEO here, and the content is slightly un-PC (giving it that rough...
For the first time since 2001, we've had a clent request an email campaign via a list broker. They wanted us to identify the right list from the right broker/organization, find the right email software and track via their web analytics. Since we used to do this all the time (before our name was SEOmoz), I felt relatively comfortable jumping back in to the act... until I spent a few hours muddli...

I want to send out a big, electronic hug (and possibly another bottle of scotch) to Mike Grehan (wherever he might be this week). During his hour-long interview with Matt Cutts, Mike asked some of the very best questions I've heard/seen in the search industry field. Not only that, he got some real answers. From ...
This past weekend a bunch of us SEOmozzers participated in a 5k (3 mile) benefit run around greenlake. I'd just like to publicly say GOOD JOB to everyone that put the effort in and ran the distance. Although not highly competitive, it was for a good cause and I think we all queued up some rad karma points. Also, kudos to Kat for initiating the idea. Here's a few photos:...
Since folks are angling a bit for some hardcore SEO knowledge, I thought I'd take a stab at the thorny and often unproductive process of researching keywords in the long tail. The tail of search queries in a given industry is typically not visible via any of the major KW research programs or search engine ad databases (Overture, Google, MSN). In these instances, there is a research method to fi...
For the first time since launch, I've been receiving some negative feedback on certain blog entries, not just from newcomers to the site, but from long-time readers and respected search industry folks. Since the primary purpose of this blog is to provide a hub of information, sharing, news and, on occassion, humor for the SEO community, I thought it wise to ask for an entire thread devoted...
Why, it's the same as MSN's... "Google." But, Yahoo! is fighting back by placing a Yahoo! search box at the top of the SERPs on a Google search: I real...
Although it takes a little while to load, Fresh Logic Studios' Atlas map system is pretty amazing. The application allows for worldwide directions, zooms in with incredible detail and has a very spiffy interface. I did some basic testing to see how robust the system was, and I'd say that with the possible exception of ...
I have a DVR, so typically nothing comes between me and my stories (seriously, have you seen Lost this season? Waaaaaalt!), especially commercials. I typically watch shows on a delay and fast-forward through the annoying onslaught of advertisements. Lately, though, I'm a bit ashamed to say that I've actually been rewinding the DVR to catch the new M...
Many of the client issues we've been working with recently have centered around canonicalizing, re-directing and structuring URLs for content. Marketing, sales, executives and IT departments all seem to have a unique viewpoint on these matters, making compromise and agreement especially difficult. For the purposes of this post, I'll focus solely on the "best practices." ...
