First off, a quick apology. I had posted this on Monday night without first checking with our nominees to ensure they could attend.

The Best of the SEOmoz Blog 2004-2007

For those of you who don't know me yet, my name is Danny and I am SEOmoz's intern. I have spent the last several weeks reading and categorizing all the blog posts written over the years on this site. It has been quite the project and has let me really experience how this company and the SEO industry as a whole have evolved. I, like the other mozzers, am a stat junkie and kept notes on notable tren...

That being said, enjoy the best quotes I was able to remember:

I've recently been tasked with managing our PPC campaign and working with Jeff on tweaking our landing pages in order to increase our Premium Membership conversions. This week at PubCon I attended as many conversions, PPC, and landing page-related sessions as I could to see if there were any tips or tactics I could pick up. I'd classify myself as someone who knows more than the basics about PPC an...

A Summary & Review of My First SEO Convention

I'm typing this as I'm sitting at the departure terminal for my trip back home to Seattle. Its been quite the week, and I'm definitely feeling a bit fatigued, but saying this trip was "worth it", would be an understatement. This is my second time in Vegas, but first time out to a SEO convention. Being a developer I am often a bit clueless about who most of th...

Only SEOmoz Could Make Search Spam Fun

Last night SEOmoz hosted the much-anticipated Search Spam party (much anticipated by Rand and Gillian, anyway, who have been skipping around the office like giddy little school girls the past couple weeks). Held in the room opposite the Google Meet the Engineers mixer (how very ...

Blogging and Search, Video Content and The Fear

I don't know what it is about this town, but things work very differently here. I've been getting little sleep and not eating very much (aside from a trip to the Bellagio's buffet where I ate myself sick) and yet I feel fantastic. They say casinos pump oxygen into the gambling halls and bars in order to keep you awake and alert and spending money. Whatever it is, it works. This morn...
