I read two articles yesterday via Del.icio.us and couldn't help but be struck by the contrast between them, and the application of that reading experience to the practice of writing. Although better writing isn't the focus of this blog, it certainly does help with everything from link building to public relations to branding, and thus is worthy of some attention. The first article comes...

I thought I'd hop on the "Top 10" bandwagon and give you my very own Top 10 list. Having researched some keywords for one of our clients for the past three days, I find myself constantly feeling the urge to take mental breaks for fear of being driven insane by monotonous data entry; thus, I present my Ten Ways to Take a Break from Tedious SEO Work: Peer over yo...

So far this year, I've spent 40 days and nights away from home. It's not that I love travel - in truth, it wears on me and I'm happiest when I'm home. Despite living here my whole life, I'm completely enamored with Seattle and the life that I have here. So why spend more than 1/5 of the year to date away? Why log the hundreds of hours in the air, waiting in airports, driving rental cars and sle...
Maybe it's because I know Kim, or maybe it's just because I needed to read something that wasn't on the topic of SEO, business development, marketing or travel, but I can't remember reading a blog post with more anticipation and emotion. Check out - Why are the Baseball Pants in the Freezer?. Kim's ...
For no reason at all, I thought I'd post some of my favorite search phrases that have brought traffic to SEOmoz this year. After all, if it's interesting to me... it's probably boring the pants off you, which is why I posted it on a Friday afternoon, when you should be spending time with loved ones and the June sun.
