Recognizing my Team
One of the most dissapointing features to the Newsweek article is that, despite my pleading, the editors chose not to feature any of the photos which included Matt & Kat - nor were they mentioned in the article, prompting Matt's mom to exclaim - "you got robbed!" Indeed they did, and, although it's a small condol...
Matt Cutts Calls out Link Network
In a cruel, unambiguous and brutally honest fashion, Matt Cutts ripped apart a link network today. I'm feeling really bad for them. Here's what Matt said: My favorite overall moment was when a totally legit company (micromatic.com) stood up and asked fo...

JewelryJean at cre8asite is asking about choosing between "homespun" design that is more cozy vs. a more sterile, professional design. The crowd jumps in with some terrific advice and points to a few resources that help provide evidence for the argument that profe...

State of the Blogosphere
I've got one, you've probably got one, and so does nearly everyone we know. Blogs have been the "next big thing" for just about the last three years. Not surprisingly, the darling child of the 'new media' is still growing fast, and, according to info collected b...
Resource Shelf from Gary Price
How can one man blog so much? Acutally, the last time I hung out with Gary, he was whipping through data sources and maps and census information and a thousand sites I had barely enough time to jot down (despite spending almost an hour in front of his laptop in the San Jose speaker ready room). Gary is seriously obsessed with culling information and finding the latest in data aggregatio...
What Does a Slashdotting Look Like?
It's been 24 hours (almost exactly) since SEOmoz was linked to from Slashdot, and our current traffic is still exceptionally high. The "effect" itself was fairly mild, affecting us negatively for only 30 minutes or so while we removed database connections from the guide and upped the MySQL simultaneous connections limit (warning to others: the default is 100, so raising that in expectation of t...
Slashdotted
SEOmoz's Beginner's Guide was just Slashdotted. We'll see how the server holds up, but there's a lot of very big files to be accessed there... Sorry for any lag. More to report soon. UPDATE: The lag should be gone by now. We made some...

9Rules Network - What am I Missing?
I've been wanting to write about the 9 Rules Network for sometime now. They've got a good looking design, they link to some well-known (and little-known bloggers) and have a Web 2.0ey (just coined that adjective) feel that is backed up by ...
New Yorker Licensing Cartoons Online
The New Yorker magazine, which I read from time to time on vacation or long plane trips, has an online site - CartoonBank.com - that allows users to browse through their tens of thousands of cartoons (sorted by subject) a...
Oi! Another Social Tagging Site
OK, folks. We've got a new contender to add to our list of social tagging / collective bookmarking sites. In SEO, the more the merrier, but in that industry, you're only as strong as your community. Shoutwire (the newcomer) is pretty...
Yes, Virginia, Design can be Link Bait, too
I've struggled for a while trying to find this URL, that I was sure I emailed myself and sure enough, there it was, right in the email, getting overlooked the last 50 times I searched for it. But, my own tagging problems aside, this site, ...
SEO Gurus - A Decidely Dodgy Bunch
Jill Whalen's linking to a good post on her (new?) blog through her signature at HighRankings. I like what she's got to say: Often, when they get their answer, they write back with something like, “But, so-and-so SEO guru wrote this article here at [insert stupid SEO site that prints ...
Beginner's Guide Finally Finished
For the last 4 weeks, I've been toiling away in my non-existant free time on a Beginner's Guide to SEO. My goal was to have a comprehensive document that I could reference to the many newcomers I engage through email, forums and in person. The final product is something I'm already proud of, though I hope to get even more feedback and improve it over time. I...
