Problems with Web Survey Design & An Example from the SEJournal Blog Awards
I love SearchEngineJournal's Annual Awards. I think it's terrific that even a small community like search marketing can have its own mini-version of the Oscars each year :) It's fun, it builds friendly competition and it inspires those of us who compete to work harder and earn our keep. Howev...
New Year's Resolutions for Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft
It's common for people to enter a new year with a resolution, but this year, I thought I'd try something entirely new (and probably overflowing with hubris) and assign New Year's resolutions to the big players in the search market.
