I was browsing my friend Jeremy's site last week and saw that he had already reached Round 8 in his Q+A series. I've done it once before here at SEOmoz - Questions Here and Answers Here - but it's been 7 months, so I think we're due for another ro...
(WARNING: This post is a little personal, a little off-topic and doesn't offer any SEO advice. If that's not up your alley, feel free to skip it. Thanks!) The flight monitor status shows us hovering dead center on the icy, arrow-shaped island. Mystery Guest is next to me, watching a thriller from British Airways' extensive in-flight collection. And, since I've got a history of writing p...
Hello YOUmozzers! This is my first ever YOUmoz blog post and possibly my last, depending on how well SEOmoz can handle a little bit of constructive criticism. ;) Up until about 3 weeks ago, I was working at a fairly well-known SEO firm, but unfortunately, my valid SEO theories and genius-grade ideas weren't welcome there, so I decided to strike out on my own! SEOs are...

We're just not getting any visitors from the search engines... I probably hear that line 30X or more each week - over email, in phone calls, in conversation, on forums, etc. and to tell the truth, it would be really handy to have a resource I could point folks for some self-diagnosis. If only there were some type of medium that I could publish on... one that would be accessible on ...
Starting last night in to this morning, we've been getting reports of people who have recently updated their version of Firefox to the new 2.0.0.1.2 release and now get a blank screen when they come to SEOmoz. We're still working on what the exact issue is with our site and why upgrading Firefox breaks it, ...
Most of you are aware I recently took a position at Tribune as their in-house SEO Manager.One of the first things I did was get a current state of the union. After working through the issues of verification for the dozens of sites (another post, perhaps), I realized that 'What Googlebot Sees' for a handful o...
For the last few months, SEOmoz has been working on a new product/tool for search marketers that we've always felt was essential to search marketing campaigns. I'll try to explain succinctly: THE PROBLEMS Search campaigns have a great number of elements that contribute to their success or failure - indexing, links, brand growth, competition, algo shifts, etc. Ri...
Two days ago our office updated our phone system to a more professional business setup. The new system brought additional phone extensions and 23 new phone numbers. While it was a bit of a headache having our phones and internet down while the phone company upgraded our account, it was nothing compared to our new problem. When our awesome receptionist ...
A fair criticism of SEOmoz's Premium Content has always been that while the material inside is valuable, the organization and instructions don't always provide a clear path, particularly for those new to the service or for inexperienced search marketers. Back in December, I wrote a post that walked through how to use many of the tools and content pieces inside Premium, and now, at SMX West next...
Before I get flamed, I realize this can be seen as self-promotional and of course it is to some degree. I'm promoting it and I am myself, so I am self-promoting. But I hope this post can also be seen as wanting to share something with the SEO community that can be enjoyed. With that hope in mind, I invite you to read our <a href="http://www.bigoakinc.com/rankedhard/ ">SEO Co...
Throughout its existance, the SEOmoz blog has always strived to be something very different from a Search Engine Land, Marketing Pilgrim or Search Engine Journal, by providing advice, insight, and under-the-radar stories from the world of search and webmas...
Should the Mozzers be paid for their posts in YOUmoz?I mean, I love the all comunity free thinking thing, but when you think about it, we are all helping seomoz for free. Our posts end up being indexed in the Search Engines and when people click, they are entering a comercial website, that sells premium memberships. So where does this leave all of the Mozzers out there, that devot...
