Canonicalizing URLs is a very important  aspect of Search Engine Optimization but also of Social Media Marketing. This morning, when checking my feeds, I noticed an example that I thought could help you understand the what and the why of it. What I noticed was this: Smashing Magazine had put out one of their usually [...]

I’ve been a bit slow on picking up on Facebook, I’ve had an account for ages but Yoast.com never had a Facebook fan page. My buddy Roy kept poking me though and telling me that I was missing out. So now it has: Yoast on Facebook. So I would really like if you join me [...]

I’ve been following the #pubcon conversation with interest, and here is the official announcement :). All I can say… look here. Thanks to Matt and Anindo of Google for their help on this!

Twitter is great for traffic, but just how great it is, well, you’ll never really know. Why not? You’ll ask. Well, the only traffic you’ll see coming from Twitter is traffic that comes through Twitters web interface. And most people I know don’t use the web interface, they use desktop and / or phone clients. [...]

I’ve recently had some fun with developing the TwitterCounter API (to which we’ve added Twitter Rank yesterday) and my first Mint Pepper for it, and I decided it was time to add another milestone to my development career. I’d never developed Widgets for Apple’s Dashboard yet, but I had seen Dashcode, and that it seemed [...]

Twitter is now officially a part of my life. I find myself checking Twitter more often then my email, and that, I guess, forces me to be smart about how I use it. I’ve been using Twitterific and Twinkle side by side for a while, but both annoyed me at times. They look like this: [...]

I wanted to show my latest tweet on the front page of this site, and although I know there are several plugins which probably could’ve helped me do this, I decided to see how easy the API was to use. It turned out to be incredibly easy, as long as you have PHP 5.2 or [...]

Typing this blog post gives me a weird feeling. I won’t beat around the bush: I’m leaving Onetomarket. It’s time for a new challenge, and it’s time to broaden my horizon. Because of that, I will be joining a new company as of October 1st, and will be diving into another corner of online marketing. [...]
