CrazyEgg.com has just recently launched their really promising looking service. You can follow their progress on their blog, or signup with them to try it out. I’ve met the gentleman behind this service, and in addition to being extremely smart, they’re nice guys as well. I expect nothing but the best from […]

Download the show. Got a chance to talk with Greg, and Todd on SEORockstars
We talked a bit about consultancy work, and answered some of the questions that were asked in advance, including old sites, auctioned domains, social networking, and more.
I even got ‘em to spin my cheesy old intro, made one day out of boredome, […]

Ever since I’ve heard the flashy million dollar college term: “transactive memory system”, which I first read in The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell, I’ve been fascinated by the concept. My interpretation of a transactive memory system (TMS) is something that is used to retain larger amounts of information, by using a simple to […]

Been meaning to do a revisit of the types of links that I discussed from “Balancing the Link Equation”, which is based on the thought process from a couple Pubcon presentations. Andy and Aaron just put out an excellent guide of 101 link building tips, and it kicked me in the butt to get […]

Got a message from Mr. Oilman late last week asking if I’d like to do part of SEORockstars with him. I asked what the topic would be (already knowing the answer) - so I have a few ideas I’m bouncing around, and would be happy to touch on near any questions anybody out there […]

So I wrote a little bit on how important I think a best posts page is to your blog users, and figured I’d go back through and review my archives a bit. I added a few little things, organized, and prioritized my new best posts page. Enjoy.

Editors note: My friend Calum Coburn had a nice article about company branding within search results that he offered to share, and seemed quite worthwhile. I hope you enjoy it as well.
An important and often overlooked aspect of the Title Element (overlooked by the big guns of Brett and Todd both) Branding is […]

“…the meaning of a link has been transformed from a reference to a vote.” - Bill Slawski, from his interview with Aaron.
THIS is how Google has, and continues to change the face of the web. Thanks for putting it into simple context for us Bill.
Be sure to read the rest of this great […]

Unique content is a valuable commodity. There was a discussion on duplicate content in WMW supporters forum a few days ago, that I thought was worthy of a post for those who aren’t subscribed there (you should be though!).
Duplicate content has become the big area of misinformation with everyone concerned that they […]

Getting hit by cars hurts. Getting hit by traffic feels good. Playing around with youtube today and digging through it a while, I realized that some people think that getting hit by cars may actually be fun. I must say that I definitely do not encourage nor endorse getting hit by cars. […]

1. Three letters - ROI
2. Every time I click on a blog result it takes me to the homepage, which stays in cache and becomes duplicate content.
3. If a blogger serves content selectively it is “cloaking”
4. Most people that talk like there are a lot of people listening are kind of as*holes.
5. Most blog searches […]

Book: The Cluetrain Manifesto by: Christopher “Rageboy” Locke, Doc Searls, David Weinberger, and Rick Levine
Subtitle: The End of Business As Usual
Here’s the scoop:
I’ve read so many good reviews of this book that I waited a long time to read it and tried to interpret the thesis 2nd hand. I should have […]

I just got done reading yet another article considering the nofollow tag on GW’s blog, and after following his technorati tag for nofollow, I found near nothing but negative feedback on the tag from bloggers (who it was intended to assist). For this reason, I thought I’d try to defend the tag a bit, […]

Volkswagon’s new commercials
But hey, what’s the logic behind not having ALL the new commercials online in case people like me who are begging for you to market to me to link to you and give you some credit for a good job?
Macs’ new commercials.
I really can’t rip any mac advertising. Their brand creates awe-inspiring […]

I’ve had a few occasions where I’ve been asked about the gent on my consulting contact image on my site.
The image is a not so subtle homage to the monkey looking for a banana in SG’s “Big Red Fez”. It’s a book I think anyone who does websites should read anytime several times. […]

Stock people on a website decreases your credibility. No, I haven’t done extensive studies on this, but I can spot stock photos of people from a mile off, and sites with it are much less likely to get my dollar than a site with a REAL picture of REAL people on it. Yes, […]

I’m giving Feedburner a whirl, as it always seems like there is some cool functionality with it. I’m not sure if I got it all right or not yet, so if you see anything weird, please let me know.
Thanks to Michael for his tip about the feedburner wordpress plugin.

The guys over at Text Link Ads got a cool new little tool called the Link Calculator to give you an estimate of what your links might be worth. More info on it over at the Link building blog. It’s pretty handy as a baseline tool…give it a whirl.

Getting links is hard work. It’s very difficult to solicit links with no value proposition. It’s difficult to develop a value proposition if you have no sense of what you’re negotiating for. This is one of the key reasons why understanding the value of links is such a critical component to an […]

I had a recent e-mail conversation that I felt was worth publishing publicly (with permission of course), due to the frequency I receive this type of question. Link development is highly important, and quality link development is a valuable skill. That being said, it is still only a part of the overall process […]
