Long Term Visitor Tracking
At nearly every SES conference, I hear it mentioned that analytics must track 60-90 days out in order to maintain a close watch on latent visits and conversions. In a meeting I had today with a large non-profit based website, the issue of latent tracking over the longer term came up... My question is - is it valuable to track via IP address over the long haul (100-300 days) or are the changing ...
Tracking Influence in the Blogosphere
Let's say I wanted to compare the relative levels of inluence of two bloggers in the same field. Although no method other than direct access to their visitor stats is going to be entirely accurate, there are several pieces of data that can provide a clue as to how "far and wide" a blogger's readership extends: Alexa data - though i...

Project Pricing
I like this piece from Blue Favor on project pricing. Their attitude is very similar to mine when it comes to the subject of client / service provider relations: Today we are going to break an unwritten rule for agencies, we are going to reveal an important ...

Poor IE users: Microsoft's Loss Means Active/Flash Elements are Now Less Accessible
I had to shout out loud on this one, though ZDNET also wrote a nice article about it. Believe it or not, IE's latest update (went through roughly 10 days ago) has created havoc on the web, for both web designers and end-users. As I type, anyone using Internet Explorer now has to "activate" any flash or active-x element related to their ...
Formal Introduction of SEOmoz's Speed Demon - Rebecca
Shame on me for taking almost 2 months to post on the addition of Rebecca Kelley to our team at SEOmoz. Rebecca started out as an intern through the Univ. of WA and became totally indispensable. She's the kind of person who finishes a week's worth of work in 8 hours, and she isn't yet overwhelemed by multiple projects to manage, she's become our go-to resource for everything from c...

WebMonkey Interview with Jason McQueen is a Joke

CSS Image Replacements and SEO
Using image replacements in a CSS driven site is becoming a very common practice. SEOmoz uses it all over the place - if you view the source of our homepage you'll see: <div id="what_is_seomoz"> <h1><span>What is SEOmoz?</span></h1> <p> SEOmoz i...
