I must declare an interest - I run a site - Feefo - an independent feedback forum. However what I say probably applies to most feedback systems, more or less significantly.A difficulty that most businesses encounter in attempting to improve their search rankings is that there is little 'news' about their site that search engines consider relevant.  ...

With Cyber Monday just wrapping up, it's time to start for all of us procrastinators to get to work finding the perfect gifts for the geeks in our lives. Luckily, Mystery Guest and I have been doing some browsing around this year, and figured we'd share our favorites from around the web. Frankly, I've been really disappointed with the standard geek gift guides from places like Engadget and Amazon, ...
Today marks the completion of our first ever external funding - $1.1million (sorry, no Shoemoney shot here). I wrote about this move twice before, asking in August for your feedback on whether to take venture capital and in September about ...
Please forgive me for submitting two posts so close to each other, however considering the urgency of the situation, I simply couldn't wait. Marriages may be at stake. Several months back, one of the members (Nathania Johnson) posted an article entitled “Top Ten Pickup Lines for SEO’...
Hello, devoted Mozbers out there (Moz + Members). We're currently in the process of redesigning our business cards, and we want some amusing, fun, not at all corporate or stuffy-sounding job titles. Rand, Gillian, and the programmers are all pretty set with their creative titles, but Scott, Jane, Sarah, the future admin, and I all need your help. We need suggestions for awesomely bodacious and rad...
Living in an SEO world can be strange at times; forget about the internal politics of black hats, white hats, and no hats, I'm talking about being on the inside looking out, an SEO Professional in a corporate environment, professional title: Link Developer. I can't say I'm getting used to it, but I have always taken this question in stride, "What do you do …exa...
It was a hectic week - all the normal kid stuff (soccer, parties, trip to the emergency room), all the normal work stuff (regular business, this new thing we're working on), a date with the wife (her turn to pick a movie - total chick flick, no car chase scenes), etc, etc.And then on Friday night I had a problem with ShutterFly, went to bed mad, woke up mad, wrote a sarcastic blog po...
Over the last few weeks, I've realized that I really need to optimize my processes for working. It's been a long, steady slog, but I've finally got at least one item nailed down, and since it was so popular last time, I figured I'd once again share my Firefox Sidebar. Of course, this means I'm also re-ranking the blogs that I read, trimming many off the list and adding a great number of new one...
I'm pleased to announce that after many hours of work and testing by SEOmoz, our beta testers and yourself truly, the SEOmoz SEO Services Marketplace is officially launched! Th...

Sorry it's taken me so long to get to all of these. The past few days trying to get grounded after a week in Stockholm have been even busier than the usual (and that's saying something). With a little luck, though, we'll have two very exciting announcements tomorrow and Thursday, and we've managed to get some great YOUmoz entries over the last few days - keep 'em coming! For those who m...
