An Experiment in One-Product Ecommerce

I just finished a new ecommerce site, Organic Compost Tumbler, that sells just one product. This type of ecommerce site has unique concerns not found in other ecommerce sites, but just because you are only selling one product does not mean you can’t be successful.
The biggest factor in one-product ecommerce I believe is item quality. [...]

The Digg Effect

My literature site made it to the frontpages of both Digg and Del.icio.us this weekend. I know there is always a lot of speculation about what that kind of exposure that can give you so I thought I’d sum things up for everyone.
Let me say that I never actually saw my site on those [...]

Google finally releases more link data

Back in October I posted about doing link research and I recommended using Yahoo Site Explorer for your link research since it was better than Google. Google since its inception, had never delivered full and accurate link information…. until now.
As per a blog post at Google Webmaster Central they have vastly expanded their link reporting [...]

One More Reason to Hate SEO Contests

I think SEO contests are stupid. Honestly? What serious professional would waste their time trying to win a contest when you can use your link equity and abilities to rank your own sites to the point where they will earn you, every month, more than what the prize is worth?

WebMythWorld Strikes Again!

I know it may seem like I rant on this issue a lot, but it frustrates me so much.

So I thought, why not blog about it?
I also thought I would share a golden rule of link building.

Another Two Excellent Google Blog Posts

There was another excellent post at Google Webmaster Central today that tells all about duplicate content. It is so uncommon to get such straightforward information from Google that this is definitely worth a read.
Additionally they answer the question about what TLD to use when targeting a specific country for search, I always intuitively [...]

Google Talks about Link Building

No sooner had I posted my last post then I caught this blog post at Google Webmaster Central. Basically they go into slight depth as to what kinds of links you should be getting and how you should be getting them. I mention it only in that it echoes what myself and others [...]

SEO Article Updates

As part of my process of redesigning & rewriting this site I’ve updated two SEO articles today, and since updated articles don’t get front page billing I thought I’d mention them here.
The first is Search Engine Optimization Fundamentals and is set to be the main launching point for all my other SEO articles. Most of [...]
