Mythology of Sponsored WordPress Templates
Friday, July 20th, 2007I really don’t believe most WordPress sponsored templates are ranking rockets for the sponsors.
Political Search
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007Rolling into the three-decade long primary race, we have studies evaluating the search effectiveness of various US presidential candidates already.
One limiter of the study is that it seems to focus purely on PPC spend. I find some of what various candidates are doing from an organic perspective to be far more interesting. They’re all on [...]
Self-Consciousness & SEO
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007…or, “Just use the internet to do illegal downloads and porn like the rest of us,” says my pal Jawa.
Being an SEO means being self-conscious about your own actions and the actions of others on the Internet. At least it does for me, possibly because it’s semi-universal, or possibly because I am a freak with [...]
5 Reasons Why I Blog (hi paulie)
Friday, April 13th, 2007Paul Jahn, who I like to call the Pope of Search Marketing, is playing blog tag on the subject of ‘5 reasons why I blog.’
So.
Because blogs amuse me from a perspective of history. There’s some extent to which blog comment streams remind me of dial-up text BBSes. And the server this is on generally reminds [...]
Webmaster Tools: Too Much Information?
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007I am endlessly fascinated by some of the reports in Google’s Webmaster Tools, but wonder if they don’t provide too much information for the average user.
For instance, apparently this site ranks for the search phrase ‘adjectives for hate’ right now. Checking in Keyword Discovery, I find they have a record for the query “adjective for [...]

Nostalgia: Web 2.0 is the Old Web
Monday, March 5th, 2007Every so often, I get nostalgic for Days Of Olde(tm) and the early days of the Web. Those magical days when the Web was all Webrings (invariably of people’s D-n-D characters), lists of CDs, and pictures of people’s cats. On GeoCities.
Then I consider several things:
In 1996, I wanted to move from Chicago to Minneapolis. I [...]
NoFollow Tags
Sunday, March 4th, 2007What with recent hullabaloo about nofollow links following some comments from Google’s Adam Lasnik, I was thinking about how often nofollow isn’t used but should be.
Everyone always talks about the tag in the sense of paid links versus editorial links that Google should count as ‘votes.’ But its when you start talking with a loaded [...]
