Top Ten Twisted Trends
I'm fairly sure this is exactly what the Google programming team had in mind when they created Trends - a list of geeky searches that produced humorous graphs. Here goes: #10 - Spending Christmas by YourselfFolks seem to be getting lonely around t...
SEO salary mythbuster!
Rand's post about SEW Live Seattle 2006 (below) got me thinking (and ranting) about SEO salaries. Below is an quote from what Rand said: Apparently, the lowest entry level SEO position ranges from $40-60K per year...The highest offer he recorded was $315,000 ...
The Yahoo! vs. AdSense Rumor
I keep getting bugs in my ear (or little birdies) dropping hints that Yahoo!'s organic search is predisposed against websites serving AdSense. That' s not to say that many sites serving the Google ads don't rank well at Yahoo!, but rather that Yahoo! has some negative associations with AdSense serving content and won't be as friendly as they should be. I've heard this rumor two way...

Email Campaigns - The Bastard Child of Web Marketing?
For the first time since 2001, we've had a clent request an email campaign via a list broker. They wanted us to identify the right list from the right broker/organization, find the right email software and track via their web analytics. Since we used to do this all the time (before our name was SEOmoz), I felt relatively comfortable jumping back in to the act... until I spent a few hours muddli...

Reading Between the Lines on MC's Response to Sandbox Questions
I want to send out a big, electronic hug (and possibly another bottle of scotch) to Mike Grehan (wherever he might be this week). During his hour-long interview with Matt Cutts, Mike asked some of the very best questions I've heard/seen in the search industry field. Not only that, he got some real answers. From ...
Run SEOmoz Run
This past weekend a bunch of us SEOmozzers participated in a 5k (3 mile) benefit run around greenlake. I'd just like to publicly say GOOD JOB to everyone that put the effort in and ran the distance. Although not highly competitive, it was for a good cause and I think we all queued up some rad karma points. Also, kudos to Kat for initiating the idea. Here's a few photos:...
Keyword Research in the Long, Invisible Tail
Since folks are angling a bit for some hardcore SEO knowledge, I thought I'd take a stab at the thorny and often unproductive process of researching keywords in the long tail. The tail of search queries in a given industry is typically not visible via any of the major KW research programs or search engine ad databases (Overture, Google, MSN). In these instances, there is a research method to fi...
