It’s been a while since I last posted anything - to be exact since June 3rd 2009! But let’s not dwell on the absence of my posts, but rather what I’m about to write about. FUD Marketing. So what’s FUD? Do you FUD someone, or tell someone to FUD-off, or is it some sick version [...]

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. This hybrid of organic search+paid search+directory-like approach has always ruffled feathers among search practitioners. Of course, depending on what department paid inclusion falls under, it could be a true blessing or a devil’s [...]

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!! [...]
“Did You Mean” Echo or Eco Trimmer?
Read a very interesting post this morning about Google’s “Did You Mean” Feature article at SERoundTable.com. Of course, the interesting part is not me reading a post from Barry’s blog, I probably spend too much time reading the blog to keep up with the good, bad and ugly. When I read discussions like these, [...]
Seven Deadly SEO Sins
After reading a post over at shoemoney about deadly sins of money-seekers, which was in turn inspired by the seven deadly sins series from the History channel. I decided to take some time today, sit down and come up with a list of seven things I consider to be the deadly sins in our world [...]
Search Strategy for 2009
Another year is coming near the end and I would like to take this time to give a shout-out to blogs and forums like SERoundTable, SearchEngineLand, and SEOMoz’s blog for keeping everyone in the search space up-to-date with what’s going on with search. But…did anything really change over the past year?
John C. Dvorak vs. SEO
Ok - so a friend of mine forwarded me an article that had, what I thought was a very catchy title “Why Google Must Die” and 30 seconds into the article, I have to say I’m not surprised at John’s column on Google and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
This article is one of the worse articles [...]
Google Says Jump…You Say How High
The field of SEO, as we know it, has come full circle in my opinion - as far as Google is concerned. Just when you think that SEO is becoming more understandable and make sense, freaking Google throws a curveball at you!! If you have been doing SEO or even reading about it for some [...]
Jobs You Can Count On
There aren’t many types of careers out there that offer stability these days. Regardless of how hardworking you are, how much overtime you put in at work, or being a team player - hundreds of thousands of those exact types of employees got laid off over the course of 1 year. Not because they weren’t [...]
My First Earthquake in Los Angeles
So here we have it folks - about 1 hour ago while I was in the middle of an uber SEO meeting with my team, cranking out shiznit and figuring out secret sauces, the room we were in started shaking a little. Of course, I thought someone was running down the hall - they do [...]
