Mobile SEO

Not too long ago, Google switched to a mobile-first index, meaning they use the mobile version of your site for ranking and indexing.

For the most part, mobile seo is very much the same as doing SEO for a desktop site, but there are a few particular points you want to pay attention to in order to maximize rankings and visibility.

Here, we've listed some of our top resources on mobile SEO, and you'll find the most recent blog posts below.

Comparing Search Engine Performance: How does Cuil Stack Up to Google, Yahoo!, Live & Ask

This week marked the arrival of Cuil on the search engine scene. Being a huge fan of search technology and how search engines work in general, I've been spending some time playing around with the new service and thought it would be valuable to expose my data on how the classic market leaders - Google, Yahoo!, Live & Ask compare to the newcomer. When judging the value and performance...

What Is Acceptable For "People Search Engines?"

I don't often get indignant about websites. Even bad ones. Sometimes I complain about what passes for Web 2.0 genius, but never before have I been really horrified by an online service. Spock.com horrifies me. I have never before felt like a website should cease to exist, but I am appalled at my experience with Spock. I'm in the process of having my personal information removed from the site at th...

Taking [true knowledge] Out for a Test Drive

Ps: getting really excited to test out a search engine, must mean I'm in the right job... So what is [true knowledge]™?In simple terms,...

SEO Principles to Launch By

In preparation for a new project i'm starting, i've been reading mounds of information about web design and aesthetics. You all know the drill, blog after blog, sifting through the duplicate content and article after article separating the useful information from corporate fluff.It was in this that I realized my big mistake, reading information for the sake of reading infor...

MSN's site: command is Confusing Me...

I'm working on a site review for a client, and I was checking to see how well the site was indexed across the major search engines. Normally we do a site: command and skip to the last page of results to get as accurate a count as we can; however, MSN's count is a little puzzling. When I first performed a count, it said the client's site had 180 pages indexed (it's a brand new site). Jumping to the...

The 5 Websites You Can't Live Without

I'm halfway through my next post on rewriting the Beginner's Guide, but I'm just too tired to go on. Losing three hours coming over to New York doesn't help, either. So, I've turned my attention away from the project for now and thought I'd ask something a bit more participatory of the crowd here... What are the 5 industry-related websites (excluding the search engines themselves) that ...

Contribute Feedback for the MSN/Live Search Team (And Be Heard)

This coming Thursday, I've been invited to present to the Live Search team over in Redmond. We'll be discussing all sorts of issues, including spam on Live, increasing retention rates for searchers and growing relationships between Live and webmasters. However, I can't represent the entire search community on my own, so I'm hoping to solicit your input. What would you like to see Live do to mak...

Why, Hello There MSN Image Search!

As a writer/editor for Drivl, I do a lot of image searches in order to add relevant, amusing pictures to supplement stories that either I've written or that one of our users has submitted. At first, I would default to Google for all of my image searching needs, but the relevance is often low (and sometimes porn-tastic). Yahoo! Images is sometimes better, sometim...

URL.com - Innovating Community Search

I ran into a kindred spirit at the SES conference in San Jose this summer - John Anderson. Smart, incredibly likable, motivated, and passionate about making the web a better place, I felt like I had known John for years after spending 10 minutes with him outside a session (this is one of my favorite parts of going to conferences). Over the past few months, John and a talented team of friends ha...
