We’ve all seen some scary (albeit accurate) results in Google search results as they pertain to information pulled from the “knowledge graph” – Google’s ongoing project to present accurate answers to our questions in search results. “Big Love” and the original theme song “God Only Knows” that accompanied the opening credits are two of my […]
A lot of fuss has been made over Googles extremely aggressive push to start using more meta data (markup) to organize websites that contain elements like reviews, audio tracks, product prices etc. When done properly, a website using this structured markup stands to benefit greatly with click-through rates in search results. I see the relationship […]
Using landing page techniques to “out reputation” your competitors takes time, skill, and authority. But it can really payoff. I’ve recently looked into self-hosted video solutions for one of my clients and being the SEOMoz fanboy that I am, I first considered Wistia, their video provider of choice. I arrive at the Wistia site and […]
I understand that Google is on a never-ending quest to give users the most relevant answers to their search questions. Because after all, a search query is basically a question. People land on your website looking for “the answer”. Recently, when I Googled “cult movies” I was presented with a timeline cover art preview of […]
Remember when Google’s search tools were located on the left side of the results? Not anymore. They now appear on the top right.

I believe in a good ole’ fashioned site audit. Unfortunately many SEO companies base their entire practice on on-page, technical audits. Often times these reports fall on deaf ears as the companies seeking SEO advice already know what their glaring problems are: messy URLs, poor internal navigation, missing site maps, botched opportunities with headers, etc. […]
Something sad was brought to my attention this morning. I have Google Alerts setup for a company I used to do SEO consulting for and something popped up from businessweek.com, a spammy and ultimately useless website that syndicates articles from services like PRNewswire. I worked for them three years ago and warned that these services […]
