My laptop, all our luggage ...

This morning I spent a half hour interviewing Danny Sullivan about the upcoming Search Marketing Expo in Seattle on June 4 and 5.

Today I'm very proud to announce that the Illustrated Guide to Search Friendliness is finally complete. I've personally been working on it for over a month - completely writing it from scratch and doing all the designs and illustrations, too. I'm incredibly happy with the results, and I think you will be, too. This guide is, in my opinion, one of the most valuable documents SEOmoz has ever prod...
