As promised, here's a quick run-down of the new features on SEOmoz. Search - This will search the entire site. It needs some fine tuning, but it's effective for the time being. Threaded blog comments - You can now reply to individual comments rather than just the blog entry itself. Th...
I think a little bit of an early sneak peek at conference coverage from us is in order. This SEO Cheatsheet was something I printed out for conference attendees, but you're welcome to print it for yourself, too. I'd recommend using Flash's built-in print function so it will scale properly (rather than your browser's function)....

The following is a list of useful resources for where to find information about patent applications, research that may affect search engine technology and algorithms and general data on the function of modern information retrieval engine...
Jim Westergren sent me an email about his new article on Google's RK datapiece. Apparently, it was first reported at WMW, but Jim's done a reasonably good job of pulling out the important pieces and conducting a bit of research. RK is basically an XML tag that appears in Google's fe...

Mike Schinkel has an older, but golden post on the beauty of URLs. There's nothing revolutionary here, but since I've been seeing so many ugly URLs in the SERPs lately (have hyphens and subdomains made a comeback with BigDaddy or is it just me?), I have to step in. A few of his rules include: Well De...
I need recommendations for a site search engine that does the following: Spiders your site's content to X levels deep Build a database of page titles, urls, and content Provide a searchable front-end that is easily customizable to match an existing site I could write my own. It'd just be a simple spider program that spid...
For those of us who have to constantly reference HTML form help pages to create new forms for websites and surveys, there's nothing better than this cool new "AJAX" automated form builder. It's intuitive, easy-to-use, well designed and very flexible....
A few days ago at HighRankings there was a thread asking about AJAX's use to develop websites. I chimed in with my $0.02 only to find that many folks in SEO are, apparently, unfamiliar with the new technolo...
I have some affiliate sites and recently received two messages from site visitors who were interested in making a purchase but could not figure out how to click through to the purchase page. I chalked the first one up to some cranky person who didn't know how to run a br...
At Michael's insistence, I'm going to try to put together a large list of terms and definitions relevant to SEO, web development and the Internet in general. The formats will look like (as ...
One of my big pet peeves in the SEO world is those who claim to provide services that help get traffic from the search engines but don't - either through ignorance, greed or laziness. Regular readers of the blog should be intimately familiar with my fight against misinformation in the industry and it should come as no surprise that I was infuriated to see statistics like these when doing some r...
Yes, even those folks who run overly spammy credit card offers sites (of which there are hundreds of thousands if not millions) can use the tactic of linkbait. Just look at what Maeda Studio's John Maeda put together - ...
I'm no longer seeing different results or different numbers of results for any searches I perform at Google with inanchor and allinanchor. I can't find any official reference to this change, but since they were working in January, my initial assumption is that BigDaddy caused the effect, which is why some folks can still see the allinanchor results on certain datacenters (or for certain phrases...
