There’s No Such Thing As Advanced Link Building
Confession time: I’m headed to Seattle next week for SMX Advanced, and I still haven’t started my slide deck. I’m not a procrastinator by nature, but when it comes to slides – well, I’d rather get a root canal than do slides. Well, maybe not a root canal, but I have managed to find lots […]

In October of 2000 a start-up company launched a self-service ad program with 350 customers. The company was Google and the program was, of course, AdWords.

Diggers Can’t Handle The Truth (About SEO)
It’s been a busy day, with me trying to provide some more balance and education about search engine optimization in today’s Why The SEO Folks Were Mad At You, Jason article. About two hours ago, I noticed it drew the attention of those on Digg. It jumped to the Tech News popular page, in fact. […]
Why The SEO Folks Were Mad At You, Jason
Jason Calacanis is riled up about SEO today, telling the world that "90% of the SEO market is made up of snake oil salesman" and still confused over why the "SEO folks" were mad at him when he said "SEO is bull" during our keynote conversation at SES Chicago last December. I love Jason. I […]
Yes Virginia, SEO Is Rocket Science – Defending Search Engine Optimization Once Again
Like Greg Boser, I saw the articles and counter-articles emerge from Did-It’s swing at search engine optimization back in October, rolled my eyes and moved on.
