- Interactive Site Reviews and SERP Quality Control Forum
PromoPortal.co.uk
They’re looking to improve the URL structure of the site.
They have id= in their urls, someone on the panel says its not ideal, but its not a death sentance.
The site is a year old. They say this is a problem.
Matt Cutts says the content is duplicated by other sites that are using the same suppliers. Matt says to ask what’s your value-add.
Everyone is joking about Matt using his laptop with the secret tools.

- Site Structure for Crawability
Tim Converse Yahoo
He doesn’t work for the crawler group, but he knows that they find annoying. Crawlers are simple minded. Visit URL, store contents. Extract all links, decide when to crawl those links and decide when to refresh that page. Their crawlers runs continuously. External links and domain registration is how they find new domains. Crawlers are behind a few years from modern browsers, as in javascript, flash, css. your links should be…
- John Battelle Keynote
John said that New Orleans pubcon was the first time he talked about federated media and if this audience didn’t boo him off the stage he felt it could be a good idea.
He’s talking about digitizing the back-office and showing a graph of people who were involved in technology, a little over 10 million in 1970. Now digitizing the front-office with over 100 million people who were touched by technology in the 90s. His mac just showed a blue screen…
- Guy Kawasaki Keynote
Guy’s about to start speaking, had some video problems he says “I promise its not the mac’s fault”.
He says he’s using the word “interesting” loosely and euphemistically when speaking about working for Steve Jobs, the guys there were some of biggest egos in the valley. The Macintosh division would not let the Apple II people into their buildings. He tells the mac and microsoft version of the lightbulb joke. He says his book and speach have to…
- Pubcon Introduction
8:53: Tons of people here already, huge line of people still waiting to register, looks like we’re going to be starting 15 minutes late or so.

- Gearing Up for Pubcon
Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be liveblogging (or is it live blogging?) Pubcon specifically the SEO and SMO sessions, so make sure you tune in here throughout the week. And if anyone has any requests, let me know, I’ll see what I can do.
- ReviewMe Leak
An unamed source sent me this a while before Review Me Too (seriously guys we want in on this sponsored posts thing too!) launched, but I sat on it, but now that the cat is out of the bag about a contest sponsored by the Review Me guys for their upcoming launch, I figure its about time.
So I think you may be able to get a head start on that $25,000 giveaway here.PS. Good thing Chris Pearson has a place to get away from it all.
- Adon Network Full of Clickfraud?
We have a client at my dayjob who recently purchased a little over 7000 clicks from the “keyword-targeted ad network” AdOn. They were initially impressed by the sheer volume of traffic generated and then subsequently underwhelmed by the performance of said traffic. In the process of some conversion analysis using Clicktracks today I discovered that of the 7200 clicks that came from AdOn properties, 99% immediately left the site with an average…
- Parasite SEO and Reputation Management
A post made by Micheal Martinez over at SEOmoz. For a while a few words rolled around in my head:
You see, I happen to be very good at reputation management. That means I can propel 10, 20, 30 Web sites into the top results for all sorts of search expressions. And when you ask me for a link to site X, you tell me exactly who to knock down. If I were to do this to you, I’d take your competitors down, too.
Aside from being a tad boastful…
- What is Content Development to an SEO?
Yeah, once I said content is dead, resource is king, but, there is still the issue of the text designed on pages designed to rank well, not nessecarily the ones designed to get the links. Say what you will about the dead myth of density sweetspots, there is data to provide at least rough statistical guidelines to both ensure that content does not look spammy and that it is textually relevant to the query being optimized for.
Depending on the…
