Search Engine Friendly vs Search Engine Optimized

This discussion has been around for ages, but here in the Netherlands, more and more webdesign companies are claiming they can do proper SEO.

302-hijacks and domain name spam

Greyhat and Blackhat SERM techniques

I was thinking a bit more about Search Engine Reputation Management, because I’ll be speaking on the subject at the Digital Marketing Event next week. When I was reading a lot trying to find some “new” ways to do SERM, I sort of got caught with some ideas in my head which I wanted to [...]

I was working on adding a new metric to the domain info tool, being the “deeplink ratio” (the number of links to other pages than the homepage, divided by the links to the homepage * 100), when I found out Yahoo’s SiteExplorer API is giving me wrong results. It returns way less links than the [...]
