St0n3y has a good post at SEW about an idea for creating a more relevant and powerful link page based on an article with multiple tips: 1) We write an article about an industry related topic. For this example, let's say it's a site that sells baby products. We migh...
I just spent an hour or so at the new keyword tool for adwords. It gives you a nice list of variants for any search term that you type in. Different from the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool and similar to the Wordtracker related terms list. To find this tool, log into you...
Let's say I was training a new employee on AdSense and Overture SEM campaigns, and I'd like to have some good online resources to point them to. What would you recommend? Yes, I know it's not technically a post, but it's a chance to use your hand coding HTML skills in the comment boxes ;)...
Google's new analytics setup looks impressively slick. That data, on the other hand, goes right through to big GG themselves, so all of you e-commerce nuts with cloaking, pop-ups, low co...

Steve Friedl, the man behind UnixWiz.net, has an older article on consulting that's worth reading. I pulled out some of the "maxims" that he writes about that stu...

Jim's got a post on the ...

A friend (whose name will remain anonymous) clued me in to the following: Recently a series of bots from Powweb.com have been targetting websites with the sole purpose of accessing files simply to increase the bandwidth u...
Although I rarely point to TW, as everyone here has already read their posts twice, there's an excellent comment on the thread about Digg that I felt worth publicizing. It comes from John Resig, who writes: The two 'Web 2.0' traffic b...
Todd has some good references on operating your SEO business and I thought, in the spirit of teamwork, I'd address the same topic today with some recommendations of my own. Below is my own list of suggestions, based on experience (in both failure and success): Don't Underestimate your Value...

Kim's got some very wise words about everything from "party pooper" Jakob Nielsen to the obligation of SEO/Ms to give back to the web. It's a solid read: ...
Wow... I'm incredibly impressed by the new Yahoo Maps beta. Why do I love it? Zooms in on mouse wheel scroll Has labeled city districts on transparency overlay Can show live traffic...
The Pew Internet & American Life Project released a new study yesterday on Teen Content Creators and Consumers (warning PDF). The study has some great information for those of us who have a personal and professional stake in the development of web content. I've pulled out what I feel is the most relevant items for ...
