Can you imagine there being a change at Google that pre-dates Panda, (and subsequent incarnations) the +1 button, the attribution algo updates and few if any in the SEO world had noticed? I mean, it makes one helluva trivia question don't it? Not as much fun as; What does Archie comics have to do with the early history of search. But it's fascinating none-the-less. Hey gang... long time no chat! Dave...
Hello and welcome to another edition of '7 Days of Search and Social'. Your weekly round up of the very best in SEO and social search. Lead Story Nuking competitors is NOT the answer Ok, first things first. I am not really against using any tool in the box including reporting those that are up to no good. Do I use it often? No, but I wouldn't take it out of the box....
Hello and welcome to another edition of '7 Days of Search and Social'. I hope this edition finds you well. Lead Story More Guidance from Google Right, yes, we did say that we weren't talking about that damned Asian bear anymore, but seems an abundance of bamboo is still flowing about the web and the damned things just keep on propagating. To that end I give you; More guidance on building...
Hello and welcome to another edition of '7 Days of Search and Social'. I hope this edition finds you well. Lead Story Crap Hat is Alive and Well If there is one thing that myself and many other so-called 'white hat' types get irked by, is Google's inability to deal with the crap and spam tactics that are out there in many query spaces. Of course, if you listen to some 'black-hats'...
Hello and welcome to another edition of '7 Days of Search and Social'. I hope this edition finds you well. Lead Story The Impact of Google +1 Just for a change, I thought this week we could look at a topic, instead of a news story. Change can be good right? What caught my eye was a discussion over on the social site for search geeks, Sphinn. The topic at hand was the same...
Hello and welcome to another edition of '7 Days of Search and Social'. It was fairly quiet out there last week as there are a few conferences/seminars and the like. No drama. No algo changes... nada. Man, this feels like th emiddle of August out there (usually the quiet time). On with the news.... Lead Story Understanding Search and Social Oddly enough, for the first time in a long time, there really wasn't a 'lead story' last week....
Hello and welcome to another edition of '7 Days of Search and Social'. Last week was a bit of an odd one as there were a few dramas that seemed to take up a LOT of attention (Overstock and algo update). None-the-less we still found a bunch of other good reading to go with it. On with the news.... Lead Story Latest Google Algorithm Changes It was a dead heat for the top story this week between...
I was recently involved with an interesting situation with (yet another) large brand falling out of the good graces with Google. For those playing along at home, this time it was Overstock.com (via the WSJ) walking the path that J.C Penney and Forbes had before it in previous weeks. Fun stuff all around. Borne from some conversations with my peeps at the SEO Dojo,...
Hello and welcome back to '7 Days of Search and Social'. It was another fun filled week out in the trenches last week. Some (big?) news from Google. More drama. But we avoid that for the most part right? I hope this week is going well and your kicking a$$ and taking SERPs! On with the news.... Lead Story Google Gets Social, again... While there was a few interesting tidbits, including Forbes being the latest caught in...
Hello and welcome back to '7 Days of Search and Social'. Another week, another drama. While I've not looked historically to past years, one does have to wonder if the winter blaaah creates more drama in the search industry? After so many months of peace, each week brings more excitement lately it seems. For our part, we'll side-step it as much as possible, ok? Lead Story JC Penney gets whacked I actually had a different lead...
