According to a thread at SERoundtable, a few million results in Google (and other search engines) from Craigslist have dropped out due to a change in the robots.txt. The change must be very recent, as I had used Google to search CL just a week before the holidays. It's an interesting strategy from the classifieds giant - If anyon...
The infamous Black Hat SEO forums are for sale - Mick's done a good job building up the community there. Let's hope it stays in good hands. It sounds like offers should be $10K+, so make sure you're serious if you want to bid. The traffic and revenue details are also listed - I'd imagine it carries a valuable advertising spac...
A couple months ago, Jim Boykin and crew at WeBuildPages launched a training seminar called "Link Ninjas". In my opinion, not only was this a damn cool idea, it was well executed and a good way to get training in that most difficult of SEO ...
Sitepoint's Website Marketplace is one of the more interesting forums to watch on the web. It's also a great way to predict the quick-sale value of a web property (by which I mean the price to...

Algorithm variable...
I'm finally back in Seattle after a very nice trip to Florida. On the plane, I was thinking more broadly about the SEO industry and how quickly demand is going to outstrip supply (note the high nu...
What a great year. Honestly - I could never have imagined a 12 month period in which so much growth and exposure has exploded on our small SEO firm, nestled snuggly in the far Northwest corner of the US. Spending some time away from work over the holidays has made me realize just how much I love my job and how lucky I am to be able to go into work every day feeling excited and hopeful a...
I've re-created the old recommended SEO firms list here - Recommended SEO, Web Development & Support Firms. If you know that you should be on there, but aren't listed, drop me a line. Likewise if you find errors, omissions or want to be listed in a different category. I'm referring 4-6 people every day now, so hopefully you'll get so...

There's a lot in the SEO blogosphere worthy of reading today, and although I'm not usually one to post a roundup, it feels appropriate so, without further ado: Aaron's going crazy, posting like a madman this morning/afternoon on topics from political blog link-baiting to ...
I got an email from Jen, who runs Ifish.net, a community fishing website that's got a lot of great things going for it, including a loyal visitor base of almost 100,000 (she's got logs here). Jen was looking for advice on where to take her business, and I directed her to cre8, where she's ...
I owe a big thank you to Mike Marshall from Fortune Interactive, who walked me through their SEM Logic product today (demo page here). The technolog...
I'm fascinated by this SEM Logic software. It sounds like something we've been trying to get working for months: Research from the fields of Information ...
