Rounding Out the Week
Just the links, folks: The folks over at DowJones Marketwatch are so clueless about social media, it hurts. Just read their take on Scott's blog entry from last week (scroll to the 3rd article). More on ...

The Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know
Oh, perspective. It's a fantastic human characteristic that, among other things, lets us compare how we once felt with how we feel now. When I began working at SEOmoz, I was aware that, in comparison to many people, I knew "a lot" about the series of tubes some call the internet, but far less than I'd soon know. Here are some of the lighter-hearted things I've learned since September 18,...
11 Mystery Guest Complaints
Hello. Mystery Guest here. Rand isn't feeling quite well right now, so he asked that I blog on his behalf. As most of you probably know, his father has been in the hospital for over a week now, and is currently fighting a fever that won't seem to go away. We're all hoping for the best. Rand just returned from a trip out east and headed straight from the airport to see his dad, so he's fee...
SEOmoz's 2006 Financial Statements
I think this is, without question, one of the most anticipated posts I've authored. Since I announced back in September to several friends that I'd be posting SEOmoz's financial records on the blog, people have generally responded with shock and amazement. While public companies are forced by law to issue their balance sheets & earning statements, for private companies, financial informatio...

5 Things You Didn't Know About Rebecca and Rand
Rand and I have been tagged by several SEOs to participate in Square Angle's game of blog tag. We thought we'd consolidate our answers in one post to avoid too much noise (hey, it's Friday. Give us a break!):5 Things You Didn't Know About Rebecca: In high school I wa...

How to Capitalize SEOmoz
Hopefully I'm not contributing to the noise on SEOmoz by writing this post, but I think a quick entry on the subject is warranted. Very few people capitalize SEOmoz properly - and by capitalize I mean in terms of grammar (not money). We're the ones to blame, our name isn't exactly something anyone would know how to capitalize c...
Signal to Noise Ratio at SEOmoz - Please Add your Votes & Comments
I've had several folks mention that they believe the ratio of high-quality posts at SEOmoz has declined over the last several months. I'd like to get a determination from the community as to your opinions about the amount of content and the relative levels of value provided. As we roll out a new version in the next few weeks, we have some options about how to structure the content to allow you ...
More on Nofollow at SEOmoz and How Bad Outbounds Can Impact Websites
Although Matt filled in for me yesterday to author a quick piece, I thought I'd expand on this topic before flying home to Seattle, as it's raised the ire of several folks hoping for a more thorough explanation. It's also an excellent time to talk about how bad outbound links can affect your website. At SEOmoz, we've got 10K+ members with profiles, and a visible amount of those wer...

We're adding nofollow to links on SEOmoz profile pages
I'm posting on behalf of Rand who is currently busy at SES Chicago. Prior to today if you wanted a link from SEOmoz all you had to do was sign up for an account, edit the URL field in your profile, and add a blog comment. We left this in place simply because we didn't care if the strength of our outbound links was diluted. Although SEO was high on our list of consider...
British Vocabulary 101
Well, I'm back from England. After a weekend filled with television, giant cheeseburgers, and free refills, I returned to work today. Rand, Jeff, and Jane gave me the scoop on PubCon antics, Matt called me a nerd for wearing my glasses (I'm still trying to adjust back to Seattle time, and contacts = burning), and Scott kept reminding me to not call security because he isn't trespassing and actuall...
An American in London
Hello out there in Moz Land! Or, shall I say, "ello!" Now that I'm in Worthing with the legendary Ammon Johns and Co. (take that, SEO Fangirl!), I thought I'd take advantage of the free Internet access and update you all on the first part of my trip. Here's what I've been up to in the past five da...
What does the moz in SEOmoz mean?
I think I get asked this question on average 4X per week, more during conferences and after we've been in the press and less when I hide in the cupboard and make Brandon answer the phones. It's certainly a valid one, though and deserving of a definitive answer. Here's what the "moz" in SEOmoz means: We're building off the history of organizations like DMOZ, ...
London (and Worthing) Calling
I'm pleased and excited to inform you all that Rand is sending me to England for 18 days to participate in Ammon Johns' SEO Intern Training Program. I'll be leaving October 31st and will arrive in London on November 1st. After five days of sightseeing (including celebrating ...
