High-Priced Talent Letting You Down? PPC Moneyball Revisited
Paid Search - Andrew Goodman
As the summer weather haltingly makes its appearance in my neck of the woods, thoughts turn to on-base averages, fielding percentages and all of that Moneyball stuff. My theme for this column is the woeful underperformance of the team known as the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite a wave of off-season signings and by far the [...]
The Best Link Building For Local SEO — None!
Local Search - Chris Silver Smith
Since Google rolled out the Panda and Penguin algorithm updates, numerous sites have been impacted or penalized. Often, companies that incur penalties or experience a drop in rankings don’t have a clue as to what they’ve done wrong — especially small, local businesses.

In last month’s post about authorship, I shared that Google has been experimenting with inferring authorship for PDF documents in addition to webpages.

Microsoft Office Files PowerPoint files appear to infer authorship similar to PDFs and webpages, looking for [...]

New PPC Best Practices In An Enhanced Campaign World was one of SMX Advanced Seattle’s most engaging sessions; and, as a speaker, I have received a great deal of feedback and questions about those bid location modifiers.

In recent years, using cookie data in behavioral targeting strategies has been heralded as a game-changer by online marketers. A large part of this attention is focused on data management platforms (DMPs) that enable behavioral targeting through the use of cookie data to categorize a user’s website activity and optimize ad buying.

Fifty Shades Of Full Value
I recently saw an incredible presentation by Google Analytics guru/evangelist Avinash Kaushik on “understanding the full value of mobile.” The concept – at least on its face – is simple: to understand the value of a mobile click, you have to look beyond immediate conversions and give credit to all the other ways a customer [...]
