The videoblog industry and SEO - Part 1
Recently, with the success of YouTube, up to 40 videoblog platforms are trying to grasp a part of their marketshare. But what is it all about? The upcoming articles will be trying to identify how the emergence of videoblogging (aka vlogging) can benefit video amateurs and professionals, as well as SEO marketers, journalists and compani...
Paul Graham on the Silicon Valley Startup Environment
Suw Charman is covering Xtech in Amsterdam. Today she put up a fascinating presentation from Paul Graham - How American are Startups? There's no direct relationship to SEO here, and the content is slightly un-PC (giving it that rough...
Email Campaigns - The Bastard Child of Web Marketing?
For the first time since 2001, we've had a clent request an email campaign via a list broker. They wanted us to identify the right list from the right broker/organization, find the right email software and track via their web analytics. Since we used to do this all the time (before our name was SEOmoz), I felt relatively comfortable jumping back in to the act... until I spent a few hours muddli...

Reading Between the Lines on MC's Response to Sandbox Questions
I want to send out a big, electronic hug (and possibly another bottle of scotch) to Mike Grehan (wherever he might be this week). During his hour-long interview with Matt Cutts, Mike asked some of the very best questions I've heard/seen in the search industry field. Not only that, he got some real answers. From ...

Although not highly competitive, it was for a good cause and I think we all queued up some rad karma points. Also, kudos to Kat for initiating the idea. Here's a few photos:...

The tail of search queries in a given industry is typically not visible via any of the major KW research programs or search engine ad databases (Overture, Google, MSN). In these instances, there is a research method to fi...
Negative Feedback for the SEOmoz Blog
For the first time since launch, I've been receiving some negative feedback on certain blog entries, not just from newcomers to the site, but from long-time readers and respected search industry folks. Since the primary purpose of this blog is to provide a hub of information, sharing, news and, on occassion, humor for the SEO community, I thought it wise to ask for an entire thread devoted...
Yahoo!'s Most Popular Search Term?
Why, it's the same as MSN's... "Google." But, Yahoo! is fighting back by placing a Yahoo! search box at the top of the SERPs on a Google search: I real...
Atlas Maps - An Impressive Alternative
Although it takes a little while to load, Fresh Logic Studios' Atlas map system is pretty amazing. The application allows for worldwide directions, zooms in with incredible detail and has a very spiffy interface. I did some basic testing to see how robust the system was, and I'd say that with the possible exception of ...
