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 […]

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? In general as such these […]

WebMythWorld Strikes Again!

I know it may seem like I rant on this issue a lot, but it frustrates me so much. Brett Tabke is the founder of WebmasterWorld, better known as WebMythWorld. A really crappy webmaster forum that has been riding the first mover advantage for years. It was the first major webmaster forum, and that head […]

Site-Wide Links

Site Wide Links For whatever reason I’ve noticed a lot of forum discussion recently on site wide links, cross linking multiple sites together, and or links from the same IP address. All of which are fairly overlapping issues. So I thought, why not blog about it? I also thought I would share a golden rule […]

Another Two Excellent Google Blog Posts

There was another excellent post at Google Webmaster Central today that tells all about duplicate content.

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 […]

Why .edu links shouldn’t (and aren’t) be given bonuses

Many people believe .edu links should give special bonuses, less people believe it now that Google has flat out said they don’t, but still some do. Check out these google results (though hurry, I did fill out a spam report so they may be removed). Notice that 4 of the top 5 results are spam, […]

Top 5 Worst SEO Mistakes

SitePoint published a pretty crappy article yesterday about the worst SEO mistakes. Not only does it mention some things that will not hurt you, it also fails to mention the most common and most hurtful SEO mistakes people regularly make. I wonder how many months the author has actually been doing SEO. So here is […]
