For those of you who don't know me yet, my name is Danny and I am SEOmoz's intern. I have spent the last several weeks reading and categorizing all the blog posts written over the years on this site. It has been quite the project and has let me really experience how this company and the SEO industry as a whole have evolved. I, like the other mozzers, am a stat junkie and kept notes on notable tren...
One year in Rome, the festival of the Bona Dea ("good goddess") was held at Caesar's house. No men were permitted, but one did manage to enter disguised as a woman, intent in seducing the Caesar's wife Pompeia. He was caught but was later released with no charges. Nonetheless Caesar divorced Pompeia saying that "my wife ought not even to be under suspicion."
At the suggestion of BookWorm Seo, I decided to write a post about SEO for Joomla sites. [Note: I'm not here to suggest that Joomla is better than WordPress, Drupal, or any other CMS. My goal is simply to discuss some things that can be done with a Joomla site to make it better.] Also, I'm still far from an expert in the SEO field, so tak...

It's the second of January and those of us in the United States are already pretty tired of hearing about November's Presidential Election. I'm sure the rest of you are, too. The world of social media is already flooded with stories about the U.S.'s political dramas and I can only imagine that if you're in any other country, today's offerings at Reddit might not interest you all that much. Current...

In the spring, we studied Hamlet. After reading the play and discussing it in class, we were given the assignment of writing a paper about it. Mr. Hunt saw Hamlet as a one giant meta...

It's common for people to enter a new year with a resolution, but this year, I thought I'd try something entirely new (and probably overflowing with hubris) and assign New Year's resolutions to the big players in the search market. Thus, without further ado... Google should resolve to: Build more search demand with the money they've amassed. At 70-75% of market share,...
I just came across this line item in the 2008 federal budget. How many of ya'll plan on closing up shop now? ...
So I like reading the newspaper as well as a couple of hundred blogs and old collector editions of Assimov's and Analog's. In most cases I tend to stick to the Daily Telegraph, where I came across this little gem. In a nutshell...
