I'm completely shocked about the popularity of my recent exposition on search ranking factors. The traffic has been more than substantial, bringing about 10,000 unique visitors to SEOmoz since Thursday. A normal four-day period would have around 1,600, so it's definitely a shake-up, not to mention ...
Scottie (Claiborne) and Mike (ProjectPHP) have this incredible website - In Search of Stuff - that's been making me laugh for a couple months now. However, I have yet to read something quite this good from anyone in the field of SEO humor - Tap The Knowledge O...
This may not apply directly to a lot of SEOs, but an automated regression analysis is what allowed me to build most of the SEOmoz tools' reports accurately. This sweet l...

A new friend, Laurent Bourrelly, has done SEOmoz's French-speaking audience a great service and translated the first of what I hope will be many of the articles on the site into French. The article translated is the 2005 Google Sandbox Analysis (to Analyse 2005 de la Sandbox), which I hope c...
With EGOL and I the loan wolves running SEOmoz, I think it's time to find some new talent to write for the site. SEOmoz, as you know, doesn't deliver copies of the daily headlines (although we occassionally give our take on big news). We're more focused on providing specific, daily tips and information that SEO/Ms and webmastesr can use in their site optimization efforts. If you're some...
Subnet_rx asked a great question that I receive e-mails about nearly every day - When are the tools going to be working again? There's not a solid answer right now. What's happening is that in a typical day, Yahoo! and Google will be returning results accuratel...
The various webmaster and SEO/M forums on the web all offer their own versions of a peer review for member websites, but no one does as good a job as Cre8asite forums with their ...
This made me laugh... I stumbled across Commerce2.com today while building links, and found this exceptional page, which allows you to print out and fax them a form in order to be included in their search engine and directory. Appar...
The Economist has an article, The Digital Home, that explains how executives and marketing teams at the top of many major consumer technology companies want every consumer to be striving for ...
Although submissions were a tad slower than I was hoping this past week, we have raised $300 through SOCEngine's directory submissions for hurricane relief. I'm looking to send the money to the Red Cross, but I'm hoping there's a URL where they can accept direct PayPal donations so we don't pay fees withdrawing the money and again with cr...
After a much longer than expected delay from May, when I posted the original SEO Quiz, we've got a new, full-featured SEM Exam. It's fun and a great way to pass the last few lazy days of...
I'm heading out of town for the weekend (and an additional two days next week). We're landing in Oakland, but staying near Union Square in San Francsico from Saturday to Tuesday. While I'm away, EGOL will be blogging ...
