Summertime, and the livin’ is easy… and so is the learnin’ if you’re going to be in Los Angeles on July 19th. Read on for details and a 15% discount code.
BlueGlass LA is going to be an incredible conference, there is no doubt in my mind. The lineup of speakers is pretty ridiculous . I’m [...]
In early 2009 I was sitting at a lunch table at the SMX West conference, when I met this really smart guy named George Michie. I’d heard about the PPC expertise of The Rimm-Kaufman Group, of course, but didn’t know any of the principal players. George and I hit it off pretty much instantly. We [...]
Just a quick post outlining a few things I’ve been doing. If I can’t promote myself before the conferences and such, I might as well promote myself afterwards, right? I’ll figure this marketing thang out someday.
Other than writing posts about the serious dangers of rel=canonical, I’ve been traveling a bit. Working a lot - with [...]
It’s been several months since the link canonical tag was announced, and it’s being used fairly liberally out in the wild. It’s patently clear to us that this tag is quite powerful and effective, and the consequences of its misuse very serious. It’s being misused a lot (not a surprise). We’re seeing a ton of [...]
As I outlined today in my column at SearchEngineLand, we’re seeing Google Product Search send a lot of traffic and sales this year. I (dramatically) wrote that in some ways it represents the new battleground for competitive SEO… and I think it does.

My monthly article at SearchEngineLand was published this week: Small & Nimble Trumps Big & Slow in SEO. Basic premise: small SEO shops are able to be more nimble and flexible than large, slow-moving agencies. That translates to a greater ROI in free search marketing campaigns.

Here are 9 juicy takeaways from Joachim Kupke’s presentation at SMX East in NYC this month. Overall it was a terrific conference, other than the cursed Javits Center constantly causing issues with the wifi (or freezing us, or creating AV headaches). Danny Sullivan (the conference organizer, for those living under rocks and things) repeatedly said [...]
… lame name, yes. Lame content? Nope! The “WebCAM” conference in Bend, Oregon has come and gone, and it was a terrific event with some extraordinary content and speakers. Bend proved why it’s often called the “Motherland of SEO,” and more importantly, attracted a number of talented internet marketing folks from all over the country.
Who [...]
This is a rebuttal to Rand Fishkin’s recent post entitled, Terrible SEO Advice: Focus on Users, not Engines.
While I believe Rand has some excellent points, and I tend to agree with the overall sentiment (that we need to cater to search engines), I feel strongly that it’s very good advice to focus websites on users [...]
I can say with all honesty that 100% of our clients are great to work with. We partner with them, create really productive relationships, and everyone makes money. It’s a win-win. Best of all, we have fun doing it. That’s not a coincidence - we’re careful of the types of companies we work with.
However, there [...]
