Looking through some old posts, I noticed that there's quite a bit of negativity when it comes to the discussion of the actual work that goes into optimizing and promoting a website. Sure, link building is generally no fun and keyword research can get more than a bit monotonous, but there are some terrific parts to the job, too. Here's a few of my favorites: Training...
Well, I'm back from England. After a weekend filled with television, giant cheeseburgers, and free refills, I returned to work today. Rand, Jeff, and Jane gave me the scoop on PubCon antics, Matt called me a nerd for wearing my glasses (I'm still trying to adjust back to Seattle time, and contacts = burning), and Scott kept reminding me to not call security because he isn't trespassing and actuall...
Hey gang, Scott Willoughby here. As the latest addition to the SEOmoz team, Rand requested that I write a little introduction to let you all know who the new guy is lurking around the site.For those of you who've been astutely following the SEOmoz hiring saga over the last few months: I am indeed the silver-medalist from ...
Next week I'm leaving for Monterey to present at Stanford's Web Publishing Course. On Tuesday night, I'll fly out to Vegas to join Pubcon (already in progress) and SEOmozzers Jeff & Jane (...
We haven't had a good roundup post in a while and I figured it's about time, right? I have to agree with Danny on the Yahoo! election win - their map system (live version is here for as ...
...but it looks like I'll be permanently extending my stay in Worthing. You guys just can't compete with obscene amounts of free tea, a location next to the English Channel, pale yellow walls, and the ability to bring your dog into work. Now all I have to do is overcome my constant fear of crossing the street, an...

Please share your websites - be they SEO-related blogs, niche e-commerce sites, AdSense-funded publishing sites, or anything else.

Hello out there in Moz Land! Or, shall I say, "ello!" Now that I'm in Worthing with the legendary Ammon Johns and Co. (take that, SEO Fangirl!), I thought I'd take advantage of the free Internet access and update you all on the first part of my trip. Here's what I've been up to in the past five da...
As soon as I saw the recent post about Trust and then the comment that was made that a customer didn't trust Indians should not have been posted I knew it was going to cause a bit of a furor. And it certainly has! Outsourcing has become a very hot topic in the past several years as Americans ...
I think I get asked this question on average 4X per week, more during conferences and after we've been in the press and less when I hide in the cupboard and make Brandon answer the phones. It's certainly a valid one, though and deserving of a definitive answer. Here's what the "moz" in SEOmoz means: We're building off the history of organizations like DMOZ, ...
First off, a huge thanks to everyone who contributed to our search for a new tagline. Many of the suggestions made us laugh and several were truly outstanding. I've compiled the cream of the crop - ones that we like best from our submissions and those of our readers - and put together a poll. ...
Lots of people ask questions about copyright. And, lots of other people should be asking those questions. Unfortunately, most of the information that I have seen is long, boring legaleese. Today I went to copyright.gov and found a lot of great information that was relatively short AND relatively easy to understand. What is protected? What is not protected? How long does cop...
Currently, SEOmoz has the dismally boring and horribly generic tagline, "a search engine optimization resource." With all the tagline and article headline writing we do for clients, you'd think we could do better, but sadly, we're suffering from the same disease as the cobbler's children. Thus, it's with great hope that we turn to you, our most stalwart fans, for ideas. ...
I recently had the opportunity to interview Jeremy Schoemaker : Thanks to Jeremy for answering these questions. Your answers were very enlightening!*Edit from Rebecca*: I cleaned up the grammar in Shoemoney's responses so it would read eas...
