Ann, you're like my shadow! Just look at this: http://sphinn.com/story/56732
Put together both URL articles cover all the basics I think. Next time I spy on you before you post ;-)
Still, the most important question "Will Flash rank now?" remains unanswered.
Yeah, after a few humoristic adn slightly off topic posts I had the urge to write something concise and useful.
Wow. Which Firefox and Opera? I tested with both. Can you send me a screenshot? onreact at onreact.com
codejutsu: I advise you to read the article cosely before pointing things out which are already incorporated in it. Ut says "If you’re not into breaking news stop using the date as your most important first part of the URL."
Also the number/alias issue has been mentioned in the WordPress part.
pageoneresults: generally I don't click news from "2005" :-)
As to the number vs headline slug issue: I wrote it in the post, use both ideally: 123/angelina-jolie-naked
this was you can change the headline without losing visitors. Of course you have to redirect them to to the same URL.
Yeah, this is really an issue. From a usability point of view the "one article in 9 pages" stories are a killer. I never click all of them. I guess the old media sites using this type of pagination just want to inflate their pageviews this way...
Your old avatar was a little weird: Your neck looked so twisted I always wondered how you survived this shot. This one looks much more healthy. Also you look younger. How did you do that? Time machine?
We'll see. Or we won't. Until now I have never seen Flash docs really ranking for anything useful and not very long tail.
Story: The Value of 50 Sphinns
Well, sorry, but I'm really disappointed. This post says nothing about the "value" of Sphinn. It just recounts traffic numbers. I've been popular on Sphinn a few times recently and depending on the topic, post and time of getting "hot" I got 100 to 400 visitors but that's not that interesting. It's not the "value" of Sphinn.
Story: Neutered SEOs
Pardon me, if I did err, but as someone asked me at the conference "how do you manage to blog so much" I indeed blog often after work. Zombie blogging after 10h work is not the most valuable one. Anyways, wanting my money back as a speaker with free entry makes this obvious I thought ;-) I hope Matt Cutts doesn't ban my blog for spreading fake news now!
OK, I censored all the ugly trash talk.
Until then you can manipulate htacces to get something like domain.com/page.seo :-)
Basically in SEO 2.0 you use social media as a reputation building tool. This is a long term strategy in contrast to short term link bait gains.
It doesn't work for me they way described in the post. I see no results for neither Search Engine Land nor for Search Engine Roundtable. Moreover I don't have the "also visited" and "also searched for" data for sites that actually appear.
Although I agree in most cases with Graywolf this here is a bad example. As long as the give away is not a direct payment it's OK, this is the thin line. If I can decide whether I link to someone after s/he invited me to dinner or whatever this is still a voluntary link while getting paid for to deliver a link is not.
