We're adding nofollow to links on SEOmoz profile pages
I'm posting on behalf of Rand who is currently busy at SES Chicago. Prior to today if you wanted a link from SEOmoz all you had to do was sign up for an account, edit the URL field in your profile, and add a blog comment. We left this in place simply because we didn't care if the strength of our outbound links was diluted. Although SEO was high on our list of consider...

In addition to the brilliant editing of the WebProNews team, this video actually has a lot of great content from Vanessa - she tackles questions in a straightforward manner that you can't help but appreciate. Thanks, Vanessa. ...
More Hot Topics from Chicago
This event is fast and furious, so I've got to keep it in list format again: Apparently, I was wrong about Todd Malicoat - he has a crush on me (pictures to prove this later), not Lisa Barone. On the female side of the aisle, there is a girl that he's devoted to, but she's not at the conference...
My Experience as a Fresh Egg Intern
Huzzah, hooray! I've managed to get this article up before Rand and I have to leave for SES Chicago. Apparently Ammon and Co. in the UK have been waiting for me to put it up "with bated breath." So, for the sake of Ammon's lungs, I thought I'd stop messing around and get to business.Anyway, as most of you probably know, I interned with Fresh...

Yet sometimes one looks up and sees a significant difference all around and feels a need to identify the new paradigm. Well, for my take on things, Dial-a-phone, a leading ...
Why Would You Display Your Text Link Ad Inventory?
The friendly guys over at TextLinkBrokers are about to become partners of SEOmoz - they're going to be hosting our new site (slightly delayed due to Matt's Hawaiian getaway - sorry folks) and helping us run some of the tools a bit faster. I was chatting with Jarrod Hunt, who runs the business and he let me know that they just released their ...
Are We Doling Out Bad Advice?
Aaron had a brilliant post yesterday on on Bad Advice that Sounds Good. He noted a few "white lies" of the SEO world that we continue to perpetuate. I agree with some of them wholeheartedly: Create quality content. Why do I hate it? If you don't hav...
Heat map tracking: do you feel the heat?
I've just been shopping around for a Heat Map tracking software and stumbled upon those two, which looks good to me: CrazyEgg (I think Rand already talked about it), which is simple, easy to use and cost between 0,33$ - 0,80$ / 1 000 visits. I am not sure how deep the metrics are behind it. Has any of you tried it? It is worth it?...
Comparing backlink data – lies, damned lies, and statistics
In continuance with trust post I did few weeks ago, I decided to rant about backlink statistics various search engines so generously provide. Without further ranting and blathering, let’s see some statistical tables!Lies… ...
