both local and mobile deserve serious attention for SEOs who don't want to fall behind.
Unfortunately man I will not. The only regionals I am doing on the tour this year are San Jose, Houston, Denver and of course, sweet home San Diego. I haven't been to Chicago since I saw Jason what's his face stick his foot all the way down his throat with the infamous "SEO is Bullshit" speech. Thanks for the kind words though bro, especially about my guitar playing..lol.
I will consider doing that Jonathan. What I am going to try to do which will be similar to that is tape some of our free SEO labs that we do at OMS to give people and idea of what we do in the labs as well as the things we discuss. I will try to do that at the regionals but if not, hopefully in Feb for the big one for sure.
as far as the tools making SEO easy, I wouldn't say that as much as I would say that there is a lot of good information to assimilate. but easy is definately not a word I would apply to SEO...lol.
Thanks very much for the Sphinn and the very nice comments about my presentation. I really appreciate it. And it motivates me to come up with some cool new stuff for this upcoming OMS series.
Hi Dennison,
I have 5 more videos of that presentation that I will be releasing later this week. Glad you liked it :)
Story: Is Desphinning rude?
It just depends on the client. Enterprise level clients don't usually give you access. Usually you have to interface with an IT team which is why the discovery process in any engagement is so important. One cool way to deliver proposed content changes is to do mockups with Firebug.
I don't know why this suprises anyone. I have been adamately opposed to even mentioning this jerks name since the infamous SES Chicago. I was in the audience that day in Chicago so I think I have a good idea how Rand felt. It is ridiculous to have to put up with a pompous jerk who is purposely insulting in order to cause controvery to further his own brand. I also have boycotted even mentioning the Spam Engine Mahalo. It's a joke. And some people follow what this guy has to say like it means something and thus his words are incredibly damaging to our industry. So it really angers me that people in the search community (sorry Danny but cmon man) continue to put this guy on display. I think people should just not attend any event where he is speaking. It won't take long before he isn't speaking anymore. I personally will not attend any event that he is speaking at.
I would be happy to leave search for a record deal!
Doug if you're out there, take me with me with you...lol.
lol, that's funny Barry. A Ho Hum button would be great for Sphinn. It's just when you have such a mix of people in terms of their SEO knowledge, it's hard to please everyone. When I spoke at the Online Marketing Summit last year, I had excellent reviews from most people, but the advanced SEO attendees wanted more specifics and advanced techniques. Conversely, some of the people that gave me high marks had comments like, very informative but almost a little too technical...lol. But this article would have been better with some real tips on what to do.
Nice article Barry. The only thing I would add is that the description is a great place to describe your product or service's competitive advantage as well. Often times, things like "Free Shipping" are hard to fit into a title tag depending on how many other keyword phrases you are targeting.
I think the point that nickycakes makes is that many people denied the existence of the issue regardless of whether it was a penalty or an error. Clearly it is an error on Google's part and not a penalty. However, the behavior characteristics which defined the Google "sandbox" were not an error. They were also not necessarily a penalty from a strictly semantic point of view. But the behavior was real, despite many Web masters (and some SEO "experts") claiming otherwise So I think the takeaway here is that, regardless of whether something is an error, penalty, algo change, or whatever, wide reports of similar behavior across search engine listings usually deserve investigation with an open mind.
LOL, while I appreciate your academic pusuit of SEO DarkMatter, I am sure there are many Webmasters that are glad its fixed...lol. also John I thought your post was well said.
Google can't read all Flash and can't read all links contained within Flash. Here is another solution.
This is a poor story. To make a statement like that based on a few examples that could be affected by a variety of variables unrelated to how new the content is, is ridiculous.
