The last two days I have been attending the SMX London - which was in overall a very satisfactory experience - I got to meet quite a few SEOmozers who turned out to be a very approachable lot even offline (online they are great!).

In a couple of hours, I'll leave for Heathrow after attending the inaugural SMX London and speaking on my first session, Linkbait and Viral Marketing. And only twelve hours after I'd finally aclcimatised to the eight-hour time difference between Western Europe and the U.S.'s West Coast. That's a tough one to get used to. I did everything in my power to stay awake upon arriving in London, including...

Could this bring implications in keyword searches? Will the time come that link volume isn't a key factor, but rather the engines place a stronger emphasis on where and when a story or trend...
Over the past few months, Eytan Seidman, product manager for Live Search at Microsoft, and I have traded a few emails on the subject of an interview. At long last, we've got a visible product to show off :-) In this interview, I asked Eytan about the recent changes and updates to Live, his involvement with the search space and much more. Enjoy! Eytan, first off, thank...

Today, they return results of ~93k.So I did a search in the larger category. My search for "tires" turned up 5M results. Last week t...

We need suggestions for awesomely bodacious and rad...
