Zappos Dominates SERPs
Doing some research today with query “satchel handbags” and notice Zappos getting listed with some oddities. The title is “diaper bag” and the descriptions and URLs are all over the place. If you click through one of the pages – it’s a Zappos Search results page… Was Zappos a victim of the Panda update? Or [...]
Can Small Businesses Really Compete with Big Companies?
Google Competing with LendingTree and LowerMyBills
I was doing some research on mortgage loans and to my surprise, I saw this. Is this something new or old news? Not sure, but I get this feeling that Google is going to enroach into the lead gen space and steal some serious cash. I clicked on “Buy a home” and it brought me [...]

Yahoo Removing Paid Inclusion – Coming Clean
For many years, even during the time I was at Yahoo! doing SEO, their Paid Inclusion offering never made sense to me.

USPS Fading, Slowly but Surely
If you remember my prediction about the demise of our postal service earlier this year, and people said I was either crazy, off my rockers, bonkers, ya know – the normal stuff people refer to me anyways – well, today I cam across another news story that supports my theory – that in 5 years [...]
How to Phuck Up a Free Meal
If you live someone in the United States and haven’t heard about Oprah and KFC’s joint venture to promote the colonel’s new grilled chicken, you must be living under a rock.
Senket, Go and My Friend Geoff
Let me start by saying that I have absolutely NO IDEA what the heck Senket is. And if you have no clue what Senket is either and wonder if it’s the name of a newly discovered creature (sounds like a cat huh?), the name of a lost tribe, or my childhood nickname – just stop!! [...]
