As promised, here's a quick run-down of the new features on SEOmoz. Search - This will search the entire site. It needs some fine tuning, but it's effective for the time being. Threaded blog comments - You can now reply to individual comments rather than just the blog entry itself. Th...

Happy Valentine's Day

I thought this site summed up the Internet's general feeling towards Valentine's Day. I'm not particularly against the day - it's always nice to go out to a fancy restaurant in a nice suit. I just wish it weren't so crowded or hard to get reservations... ...

Your Recommended Lists

I've been referencing a lot of folks to our recommended list lately, but we're finding that many come back without a satisfactory target, particularly when they're seeking local folks. I thought I'd ask the readers if they have recommended lists of their own with SEOs, web developers, designers, marketers, hosts, etc. that could be used to help expand whe...

Blog Infected by The LinkBait Monster

Alan Bellows' Damn Interesting is practically an entire collection of pure linkbait articles - the kind that not only make for good reading, but have to be linked to, emailed, and searched for at friend's houses in order to show them what they're missing. Just a quick dissection of how he does it so well: It's not just him - there's a...

Re-designing SEOmoz

The re-design of SEOmoz has proven itself to be a very difficult and time consuming task, as you can see I'm still working on the header. Rand suggested I write a blog entry so you can all see how things are coming along and share in my turmoil. :) Some of the designs turned out okay, others are just plain horrible. I've found my best work comes by accident, so I often just ...

What a Phone Call to SEOmoz Looks Like

With so many phone calls coming in nowadays, I thought it might be interesting to diagram the anatomy of what a request for services call to SEOmoz looks like. Because the number on the website routes directly to my cellphone when I'm not in the office, I get calls at 5:30am and 10:00pm, even on the weekends. Naturally, I turn the phone to silent when I'm sleeping, but I've had calls wi...

AJAX Powered IP to Location Lookup

In the midst of re-designing SEOmoz I decided I really needed a change of pace. I've only lightly used AJAX, so I decided to build an AJAX powered tool that looks up the geographic location of an IP address. It seemed simple enough to build and I figured it'd ...
