6/21/2010 At the end of last year the website I work on, LocateTV, moved into the cloud with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to take advantage of increase flexibility and reduced running costs. A while after we switched I found that Googlebot was crawling the site almost twice as much as it used to. Looking into it some more I found that Google had been crawling the site f...

2/25/2009 I really like Google Analytics - the interface is easy to use, the information easy to interpret and it's free. You can do great tricks with filters to slice the data in different ways.

5/28/2008 Cross-site scripting (or XSS) has been discussed a few times here on SEOmoz but I'm pretty sure that not enough people are doing the right things to help protect their site against XSS attacks. XSS should be viewed as both a security and SEO issue and so Mozzer out there... listen up! Before I look at details of these attacks and some ways to protect your site and users here is a qui...
4/11/2008 I was using Google Trends the other day and thought "if only I could have something like this for my analytics". For those of you who haven't seen a Google Trends report before here is an example: ...
2/28/2008 Following on from the excellent posts by Ciarán on SES London 2008, here are my experiences of the event. I only attended the final day of the conference as it seemed to have the most relevant agenda for the areas I'm currently looking at.I was a little disappointed when I arrived as the exhibition was run only on the...
