I love Yahoo for taking the lead against NoFollow by doing nothing. If you examine Yahoo’s website and web properties, there will be none of the No Follow misinformation as perpetrate by Google because it wrecks havoc on their search algorithm. No Follow tags make webpage code ugly and increase page’s sizes for no user […]

Been tracking the keyword “new york real estate” for a very long time and the NYTimes held the number one position for as long as I can remember. Today I saw that it got bumped to the fifth spot in Google, and it is probably temporary or has the search algorithm improved to realize many […]

For one of the eCommerce sites I operate, Yahoo sales have gone up two to one compared to Google. The number of visits is twice as many, with per revenue per visit of 8% more from Yahoo. These numbers are a good indication that the Yahoo search engine is alive and well with a lot […]

International click thru traffic is worth very little or none at all. On average, Google will pay close to a few pennies per click. A friend runs a site that gets over a thousand clicks every day but only manages to produce under twenty dollars on average per day. The website is content related […]

MSN live search shuts down query syntax commands making it slightly harder for data mining. Users can no longer use commands such as link:, linkdomain: nor inurl:.

I am SEO, who brought you out of the sandbox.
You shall not use paid-for-inclusion before SEO.
You shall not make yourself an image without alt tags, bad for SEO.
SEO is a jealous process. Reject me and your website will suffer.
Do not mislabel SEO as PPC, or guaranteed results.
Work hard on on-page optmization, and linkbuilding for six […]
