Caydel published a great post a few weeks ago detailing how you can get better rankings in Google Images but some of the comments showed that people don't really think Google Images traffic is high quality and that nobody really knows how to make the most of it.A few months ago I was think...
I came across a rather interesting discovery while doing some research for one of my small business clients today: it seems to take only one Local advertiser (different from a standard Web Search advertiser) to trigger an entirely new set of PPC results in Google Local.The easiest explanation is probably by example -- consider the difference between the following searche...
As my previous posts and articles have tended to be too technical, going forward I will simply try to provide the pieces that are relevant for the discussion, and point to the sources for learning more. After carefully reflecting on the article that prooves Google is u...

It feels cruel to give the search engineers at Yahoo!, Google, MSN & Ask more work, but I know that sometimes they might not have the best project tracking or distribution software, so I figured I'd be kind and make a list of items that need attention here in the blog, and they can refer to my post when they're wondering what to do with all their free time. ...
Dear Friends: I published a website earlier this year on the American folk song, Follow the Drinking Gourd. I closely tracked how the three major search engines handled the site, including how quickly the site was ranked, how many pages each of the three major engines found, how often they visited these pages, and h...

Podcasts and videos will come into play, as will personalization.The techniques that worked in the past do not work today, and may get you penalized tomorrow. Recipro...
Marketing jobs are changing their required skill sets. Traditionally, direct marketing and sales jobs, except marketing management jobs, relied more upon skills with the spoken word rather than the written, but marketing jobs online have a reverse requirement. Consequently, it's a good job market today for college graduates, but not as easy for those with only high school degrees....
After SMX, training Frenchies, SES Toronto, and getting sick, I'm back in the office attempting to tackle a mountain of tasks (I've never empathized with Rand more than I do right now). Jane and I will soon publish the so-late-it's-just-ridiculous coverage of SM, but for now I want to talk about SES Toronto and the Canadian Search Landscape session.

Fortunately, for all those of us who practically dislocated our shoulders from shooting our hands up so quickly, Joost de Valk has delivered an answer to our prayers by way of his...
Okay, okay, we had some fun last week with the SMX Party Video, but now it's back to business...well, as much as a Whiteboard Friday featuring Iron Maiden's The Wicker Man as the soundtrack can be considered business.
Rock n' Roll aside, Matt's back in SEOmoz Whiteboard Studios this week...
Vanessa Fox, Webmaster Central's long time head of operations, announced her departure from the company today. There's more specific news about that on her personal blog, so I won't dwell on it here. What I do want to do in this blog post, and hopefully in the comments below, is to express our thanks to Vanessa. I don't belie...
Last week, I received some very friendly correspondence from the Search Engine Strategies and Incisive Media organizations about my irresponsible post on speaker exclusivity. I knew that I had done wrong, and to make amends, I asked if Kevin Ryan, who was ...
