Now that’s what I’d call a review. Nice work Danny.

Wow, that is border line too much. Who is actually going to go through that entire list. I think I would rather watch paint dry.

@Tim:Do you work at Sadistic SEO? (j/k)That would hurt my brain. Especially because of repetitiveness.

I sure hope SEL has some internal tools that automated most of that. :-) Great work, Danny!

Sadly, it was like a day of hand work. There is an internal way I could do it, but it wouldn’t pick the top story, plus there would be a lot of repetition. I also find it interesting to cast a manual eye when doing a review, too.Brian, I expect most people will skim the list and focus on key areas they like, say the Yahoo: Employees area that shows how many execs have departed and so on.

@SlightlyShadySEO - haha. Well, I wouldn’t expect them to read it all in one night! ;) The quiz isn’t until Friday. Yes, kidding

The volume approach to frontpaging... I think this is a tactic that is going to become less effective as time passes and people realize that, as these comments show, they’re never really going to read all those 100 top tips and tricks for whatever. It works offline because people sit down to read a magazine. Online, people’s attention span is much shorter.

Gab, not really sure what you mean. This isn’t a top 100 list. It’s the entire year in search, on one page. I don’t at all expect someone to read all of it. I expect most people will scan it, remember a few things they’ve forgotten and move on.

It’s great Danny. Especially to help bring new students up to speed with what’s been happening in the search arena for the past 12 months. I have a whole lesson dedicated to industry history and I generally update it every few months by manually scanning the press release archives of all the major engines etc for the most important events. You’ve just made my next timeline update a whole lot easier, thanks!

Well, at least I wasn’t the only one who was compiling a huge-ass post over the holidays. ;)  Nice work, Danny.  That’s one hell of a great job you’ve done.
