Mike Grehan on Those in the Sandbox

NOTE: This post has been edited. It was originally written in haste and without foresight. My apologies to Mike, who has earned better than to be criticized publicly in such manner. Mike Grehan, who stands without doubt among the people I admire most in the industry, has a ...

Earl Grey's New Black Hat Paradise

My personal opinion is that you can't be an SEO "expert" without understanding the black hat side of the debate - the techniques that are working, those that don't, how money is made in that sector, and what the latest in hijacking, link spamming and automated content...

SEO Gurus - A Decidely Dodgy Bunch

Jill Whalen's linking to a good post on her (new?) blog through her signature at HighRankings. I like what she's got to say: Often, when they get their answer, they write back with something like, “But, so-and-so SEO guru wrote this article here at [insert stupid SEO site that prints ...

Good Retrospective from Jim Boykin

Jim (of WeBuildPages) was interviewed by Aaron Pratt of SEO Buzzbox (a site I hadn't heard about until today). In it, he talks about the last few years of running an SEO company, getting called out for being "evil" by Matt Cutts and touches on how he's gotten "whiter" with the times. It's a ...

Dan Thies has A Lot to Offer

I contracted out a keyword research report from Dan Thies yesterday afternoon (hard to believe they're only $99) and spoke a little on the phone. Dan has a lot of cool stuff coming up, including a limited engagement...

Aaron's Interview with Matt Cutts

This is a totally worthwhile read (if a little long). Mr. Wall (of SEOBook) gives Matt some floaters, some tough questions and some in the middle and Matt answers them all with honesty and...

Katrina & the SEO World

Hurricane Katrina has taken a devastating toll on the gulf states of the US and the people who lived there. The SEO world has responded with a variety of donations and contributions, as well as threads, posts and information relating to the subject. DazzlinDo...

A Little Humor on a Friday

For entertainment purposes, it's really not necessary to leave the SEO forums. Case in Point - a post last night that has kept up all morning at SEOChat. There's some good back and forth on white vs. gray vs. black, and some admissions of all types from people of all types. Plus, there's a theory ...

Ian Turner's Been Found

Ian has been found - the details are at Threadwatch. He's in the Atlanta airport, delayed due to a lack of a passport and an especially prickly TSA. I haven't felt this relieved in a long time....

Your Favorite SEO Blog

I posted a poll on SEOChat asking users to vote on their favorite SEO blog. Purposely excluded was this particular blog, but lots of other great ones are on the list, including: ...
