My mornings start off virtually the same every work day. First, quickly browse and see how our Google/Yahoo/MSN paid search accounts are going and second, check the latest news from England about the Premiership league and my team, Manchester United. Today was a bit different then other days. I noticed something intriguing and whimsical. The ...

Although the exact name escapes me at the moment for some reason (blame it on the chemo - yeah right!), if you're working for yourself or even if you're not there's something that you absolutely, without a doubt should think about. What am I talking about? Catastrophic insurance. It's the type of inurance that will protect you from calamaties when you lose your job because o...
A lot of people ask, "Where do I submit my site to search engines?" If you're new to SEO, it's a lot easier than you think. You see all these advertisements that for $20 they will submit your site to 10,000 search engines. Well, the truth is, that's a scam. There aren't 10,000 search engines, at least not 10,000 that will end up delivering any traffic to yo...

As a music lover I'm obviously excited about the fact that it will soon be possible to donwload The Beatles' back catalogue on iTunes (although I have to worry about anyone who doesn't own most of it already). But what would really please me is if it was possible to download lots more stuff too....

Well there's a new kid on the block just BEGGING to be gamed.The SEOmoz comment voting system.Now before you get your panties in a bunch, please understand. I love spamming everything I see the SEOmoz community. I would ne...
As some folks had already guessed, I was the MySuperProposal guy. Tonight, I proposed to Mystery Guest on her favorite show, Veronica Mars. The video is at iFilm - the response should be up very soon (but here's a spoiler, she said YES!) ...
This is a podcast highlighting all the new stuff we've added to SEOmoz with the launch of our new site. I tried to cover all the new features we added, including explaining MozPoints and the details of our premium membership. SEOmoz Version 3 - New Bells and Whistles ...
Stick with me here, because this post relates to SEO...I promise...I went snowboarding for the first time last year. Despite growing up in Michigan, where I could have driven up to the UP (that's Upper Peninsula to you folks who don't point out your hometown on your hand) to hit the slopes, I had never snowboarded or skied before. The first time I tried snowboarding, I went...
Just the links, folks: The folks over at DowJones Marketwatch are so clueless about social media, it hurts. Just read their take on Scott's blog entry from last week (scroll to the 3rd article). More on ...
Oh, perspective. It's a fantastic human characteristic that, among other things, lets us compare how we once felt with how we feel now. When I began working at SEOmoz, I was aware that, in comparison to many people, I knew "a lot" about the series of tubes some call the internet, but far less than I'd soon know. Here are some of the lighter-hearted things I've learned since September 18,...
Hello. Mystery Guest here. Rand isn't feeling quite well right now, so he asked that I blog on his behalf. As most of you probably know, his father has been in the hospital for over a week now, and is currently fighting a fever that won't seem to go away. We're all hoping for the best. Rand just returned from a trip out east and headed straight from the airport to see his dad, so he's fee...
On Saturday night after the Seahawks game, I received a call from Gillian - my dad had passed out from blood loss at home and had been picked up by a 911 dispatch crew. He was taken to the hospital, where it was finally determined (just a few hours ago), that swelling in his intestine was most likely the result of an aspirin overdose (he had been ovemedicating a painful toothache) combined with...
I think this is, without question, one of the most anticipated posts I've authored. Since I announced back in September to several friends that I'd be posting SEOmoz's financial records on the blog, people have generally responded with shock and amazement. While public companies are forced by law to issue their balance sheets & earning statements, for private companies, financial informatio...
