Live Blogging "Extra! Extra! The Social News Sites" at SMX Social Media
Having just wrapped up my presentation for Linkbait: Chumming for Traffic on Social Media Sites (I linked to Vanessa Fox's session coverage on Search Engine Land in case you want a recap), I thought I'd turn the tables and live blog Extra! Extra! The Social News sites. (Side note: My allergies have been a pain in the ass e...
What Would You Want to Learn from a Linkbait Panel?
As Rand mentioned in his Rewriting the Beginner's Guide post, he and I will be speaking at SMX Social Media next Monday and Tuesday. Once again, I will be speaking on the Linkbait panel with my buddies Brent Csutoras and ...
Across the Web & A Day in the Life
I'm combining two short blogs into one tonight - hey, it's easier for you to read and me to write, so why not, right? First off, I wanted to do a roundup of some of the great material that's popped up over the past few days: Yahoo! did an impressive upgrade to their search results and the search functionality...
Advanced Web 2.0 at the Shop.org Summit
Earlier this week I was in Las Vegas to attend and speak at the Shop.org Summit. While I was there I attended the "Web 2.0: Advanced Level" session. After some severe sound issues (think microphones cutting out and constant screechingly loud feedback) and my astonishment at how much wifi costs in the convention ce...
Mentally Check Out with the SES San Jose Comic Strip
Now that I've got about a week's worth of antibiotics pumping through my system (only one more week to go!), I was able to focus my valuable SEO skills on creating a litany of stupid speech bubbles and images of Dave Naylor saying "fookin." I think I may be underpaid. Anyway, thanks for being patient while my body became a culture of snot and goo. Here's the ...Level Up Your SEO Skills With Our Free Training

Industry Numbers, SEOmoz Stats & the New York Social Media Event
So much to fit into one blog post (and technically, I'm still on vacation). Technically, this is three separate subjects, so I'll segment :) Industry Numbers For the outside investment we're seeking, I've had to dig around a bit for industry data to help predict the total number of people in the world conducting search marketing professionally - here's what I've ...
The Pros and Cons of Public Speaking
I had the opportunity to speak about link bait at this year's SES San Jose. It was my fourth speaking engagement, and I potentially have at least two more speaking gigs lined up before the end of the year (the Shop.org Summit in Las Vegas September 17-19 and hopefully ...
Rand on the Hotseat
Have I been captured by enemy blackhats? Tortured and thrown to the dogs? Or just relentlessly interviewed over email (and in person)? Well, since the first two sound painful, let's go with door number three. First off is an interview on social media marketing, with a few nifty...
Whaddya Say, San Jose?
Ah, San Jose. Your city may be boring and somewhat bland, but your conference is always a fun time. Below are the best things I overheard at SES San Jose 2007: "I hate movies where water kills the bad guy." -- Eric Dyck from Neverblue Media "I feel like such a...cool person!" -- ...
Getting Traffic from Contextual Ads - SES San Jose
I'm taking a new approach with events and attempting to do more in-depth coverage of a couple of what I feel are the best, most interesting, most innovative or least discussed sessions at the conference. Since contextual advertising is an area where I have little to no experience, I found the panel fascinating - and certainly Microsoft's announcement of a contextual ad product on the Microsoft ...
