Dixon is giving a presentation right now about the changing nature of search, and pointing at the problem I see with clients a lot too: SEO can not be a “slice” of your marketing “pie”, it needs to be a fundamental value in all your other marketing activities. Yes you need to do your “basic…
SES @ A4UExpo: Kevin Ryan and Mike Grehan
The first session today was a session with Kevin Ryan from SES and SEW, and Mike Grehan who joined Bruce Clay earlier this year. They showed quite a few interesting charts and facts on Universal Search and how you could use that. I think there´s a huge chance for small companies and affiliates in Universal…
Extreme SEO Q&A
So yesterday I was on the panel for the last session of the day: an Extreme SEO Q&A, moderated by Ciaran Norris, and on that panel with me were Dixon Jones, Marcus Tandler and Jason Duke. We had a lot of fun, and loads of good questions came up. Some of the topics we touched…

I’ve been wanting to do this list for quite a while, but I finally put myself to doing it: a big list of all the web development and SEO tools I use on my Mac. It’s a page, I’ll keep updating it when I find new apps that are worth mentioning there. If you have…

I requested reconsideration, and got my PageRank back!
This blog got penalized with a -1 PR penalty for “selling links”. Now I did have some paid links on this blog in the past, when I was newer and less visible to the search world, and less “wise”. I’m not against buying or selling links, but doing it on your own blog, when you’re…
Conference schedule
I’ll be speaking at two conferences next week and the week after, and I’m really looking forward to both! The first one is A4UExpo in London next week, where I’ll be on an Extreme SEO Q&A panel. I’m on that panel together with Marcus Tandler, aka Mediadonis, Jason Duke, aka JasonD from StrangeLogic and Dixon…
From RSS? WordPress plugin updated!
I added in two features: The plugin now automatically tags links within posts to posts and pages within your blog as well, so clicks to these pages will still make you recognize them as RSS subscribers. The plugin is now way stricter in giving someone a cookie. A visitor only get’s an RSS subscriber cookie…
