As much as I think site explorer is a great idea, in practice, it's still not as useful as Yahoo!'s normal linkdomain command. There are some fantastic features in there that I use all the time, for example: Removing sites from the list as in a search for ...
With this latest update from Google, we've been noticing some very odd things in the SERPs. Despite our best instincts and measurements of link quality, quantity and optimization, sites seem to be ranking in very strange orders. In the hopes of making greater sense of things, we wondered if you'd like to list your top search results that make no sense. No need to point out your site or those of...
I noticed this well thought-out post today from Chris Anderson at the Long Tail (which is a blog I've been mean...

One of my biggest rants with MSN Search has been their weighting for physical location of webserver. It is totally incredible and beyond any reasonable measures. Before you read any further, it is important you know some background information. My company, ...

BugMeNot is a nifty tool that acts either as a one-time viewer for content sites or a plug-in that lets you surf through without entering a username or password. It reminds me most of the grocery store checkers who simply swipe the store copy of the "...
Scottie Claiborne, who co-authors the hilarious ISOS blog and who bought me lunch on her last trip into Seattle, delivers this stellar ...
I just joined the Ad Club of Seattle in the hopes of meeting some good people I can recruit away from the tradtional ad business into our nefarious circle (insert devious grin icon). As I was checking out u...
It's never easy to admit to being dead wrong, but in this instance, it would be doing the SEO community a great disservice not to make my mistakes public. In a thread at SEOChat - More on Term Weight..., I abuse members of the notion that keyword density can be used to calculate the importance of a term or phrase in a given document....
SEOmoz turned 1 year old today. Our first post, way back on October 14th of last year shows just how far we've come. I'm really happy with the way this site has turned out and I have great things in mind (particularly with relation to the tools) o...
As much as I like their cool zebra logo, it appears that RedZee.com (link left out on purpose) is using a slew of bad tactics to attempt to gain popularity in the search space. I haven't personally seen referrals from them, yet, but some others have and base...
Back in the late '90's, I was obsessed with Flash design. I spent countless hours animating text and building organic-styled site designs. I gave up on that a long time ago, when I realized that true designers had something I lacked (namely talent) and that hard work can only take you ...
