No relation to SEO whatsoever, but Ferry Halim, a graphic and Flash game designer whose work astounds me has put together what is, in my opinion, his most addictive game yet. If you've never been to Orisinal, get ready to spend the rest of the ...
According to a thread at SERoundtable, a few million results in Google (and other search engines) from Craigslist have dropped out due to a change in the robots.txt. The change must be very recent, as I had used Google to search CL just a week before the holidays. It's an interesting strategy from the classifieds giant - If anyon...
The infamous Black Hat SEO forums are for sale - Mick's done a good job building up the community there. Let's hope it stays in good hands. It sounds like offers should be $10K+, so make sure you're serious if you want to bid. The traffic and revenue details are also listed - I'd imagine it carries a valuable advertising spac...
I ordered my brand new Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop today. I was swayed mostly by the widescreen SUXGA monitor, which allows for a resolution of 1920 x 1200, ...

I got an email from Jen, who runs Ifish.net, a community fishing website that's got a lot of great things going for it, including a loyal visitor base of almost 100,000 (she's got logs here). Jen was looking for advice on where to take her business, and I directed her to cre8, where she's ...
Internet Relay Chat (aka IRC) is an older form of communication on the internet. It's an online discussion system where you join "channels," which are basically chat rooms. I frequent several technical channels but recently have been spending some time in one centered around SEO. The topics of discus...
One of the most dissapointing features to the Newsweek article is that, despite my pleading, the editors chose not to feature any of the photos which included Matt & Kat - nor were they mentioned in the article, prompting Matt's mom to exclaim - "you got robbed!" Indeed they did, and, although it's a small condol...
It's been quite a week - first a slashdotting, now an article in Newsweek. The print edition is coming out tomorrow, but you can read the article online here. I think the title is supposed to be "Hotwiring your Search Engine Ran...
SEOmoz's Beginner's Guide was just Slashdotted. We'll see how the server holds up, but there's a lot of very big files to be accessed there... Sorry for any lag. More to report soon. UPDATE: The lag should be gone by now. We made some...
I've been wanting to write about the 9 Rules Network for sometime now. They've got a good looking design, they link to some well-known (and little-known bloggers) and have a Web 2.0ey (just coined that adjective) feel that is backed up by ...
The New Yorker magazine, which I read from time to time on vacation or long plane trips, has an online site - CartoonBank.com - that allows users to browse through their tens of thousands of cartoons (sorted by subject) a...
For the last 4 weeks, I've been toiling away in my non-existant free time on a Beginner's Guide to SEO. My goal was to have a comprehensive document that I could reference to the many newcomers I engage through email, forums and in person. The final product is something I'm already proud of, though I hope to get even more feedback and improve it over time. I...
I've been trying to find something "relevant" to point to a Performancing, Nick Wilson & Patrick Gavin's new foray into the blog publishing sphere and ran into this - The 80/20 Rule of Focus. From Nick: The problem in brief is that some, and by my reckoning, many, blogger...
As several of my close associates know, SEOmoz was to be featured in the January issue of Wired Magazine (which hits newsstands around Dec. 19). In October, Brad St...
