For the past couple weeks, I've been chatting over email with the folks at Compete.com about their web popularity reporting & analytics tools. Luckily enough, Jeremy Crane, the Director of Search & Online Media for Compete, agreed to an interview. Below, you can learn a lot more about how Compete gathers data, where...
In honor of today's holiday, I thought I'd change up the subject and talk a little bit about leadership in a small business startup. This is a subject that I don't have nearly the authority or experience to speak about in the same way as SEO. After all, I've worked on dozens of successful search marketing projects, but only one startup - ...
I'm currently working on re-authoring and re-building the Beginner's Guide to Search Engine Optimization, section by section. You can read more about this project here. Why Canonical Versions of Content are Critical to SEO ...
Okay . . . so I did a round of interviews this week with fairly decent success (though, if I am still unemployed in a month then I guess it wasn’t successful after all, lol). Who did I meet with? Sorry, not divulging that info because frankly most readers of this blog are outstanding SEOs and could turn into my competition for the positions. Note: For the handful that do kn...

When I was a senior in high school, I was in AP English. My teacher, Mr. Hunt, was a kind but eccentric guy. He loved Shakespeare and made sure we spent plenty of time studying the Bard. In the spring, we studied Hamlet. After reading the play and discussing it in class, we were given the assignment of writing a paper about it. Mr. Hunt saw Hamlet as a one giant meta...

In the last Whiteboard Friday (12/20/07) Rand talked with Stephan Spencer on the subject of conditional 301 redirects using user agent detection. I thought it might be useful to briefly cover how easy it is to set up Firefox to use a non-default user agent (like Yahoo, Google etc) for testing and development...

With Cyber Monday just wrapping up, it's time to start for all of us procrastinators to get to work finding the perfect gifts for the geeks in our lives. Luckily, Mystery Guest and I have been doing some browsing around this year, and figured we'd share our favorites from around the web. Frankly, I've been really disappointed with the standard geek gift guides from places like Engadget and Amazon, ...

Rand, Gillian, and the programmers are all pretty set with their creative titles, but Scott, Jane, Sarah, the future admin, and I all need your help. We need suggestions for awesomely bodacious and rad...
Living in an SEO world can be strange at times; forget about the internal politics of black hats, white hats, and no hats, I'm talking about being on the inside looking out, an SEO Professional in a corporate environment, professional title: Link Developer. I can't say I'm getting used to it, but I have always taken this question in stride, "What do you do …exa...
