As I walk to work (in 38 degree weather), I pass by at least ten newsstands with copies of the Seattle Times and PI. This morning's, however, was bold enough to catch my eye. The print version reads "Online Sales Feast", but the article on the web is entitled "Internet retailers enjoying sizable bounty". ...
BlogExplosion is a site that offers services, advice and software designed to increase blog traffic. I signed up tonight and have been checking out various services. There's a ...
Bill's got some information on a new patent from Google titled "Selectively delivering adve...
I finally finished the SEMPO Survey... It took almost a full 25 minutes (which I don't really have) over 2 unique sessions - and I'm the type who races through questions. But, if you're interested in contributing to the global intelligence of the Search Ma...
Once a visitor hits your site, how long do you have to convert them? In web marketing and usability, the long-held standard has been the 7-second rule, but more recent studies would tend to indicate you've got a bit more time than that. For example, problogger noted back in March that ...
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 ;)...

If you haven't seen the TV ads for Ebay's new "it" campaign, they're worth a look. Ebay's playing with a new market here and their attempt to juxtapose post-modern (or post-post-modern) styling and panache with a humorous twist on all things Steve ...
David Carr writes "Why You Should Pay to Read This Newspaper?" (free sign-up req'd), a brief, surface-level exploration of the trend among Internet users to expect that all content is free. David humorously notes that his daughter is a good example of the demographic: ...
I did a search for Texas Hold 'em just to see who's ranking there and how well the blogger effort to make the Wikipedia page rank for it has gone... I was amazed. The top spot is currently held by this lovely site, which, while not a m...
I got an e-mail this morning from Nana at Technobloggie. I have a sneaky suspicion that it was a mass-email to more than a few bloggers in the search space, but that's OK. She's got a nifty tool that scans a page and retu...
OK, so I finally bothered to read what Web 2.0 is and it's not so bad. From the "authority" on the subject, O'Reilly: In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example: ...
Bill Slawski (of course). Just look at this post from a Cre8asite thread on how to spread your traffic levels out so as to avoid becoming reliant on Google (a great thread idea from Ruud). There's so much good stuff I want to copy the whole thread: ...I'm not suggesting tha...
