Last week when a copy of Always Be Testing: The Complete Guide to Google Website Optimizer showed up at my door I was excited and intrigued. What exactly do Bryan, Lisa and John have in store for the reader?
After reading both Call to Action and Waiting for Your Cat to Bark I was surprised [...]

Marty Weintraub gave me a call yesterday. After talking to him for a bit I realized that I should probably cover a response to the concepts, the meat, of his brand ambassador discussion.

Looking back at some older post I revisited the SEOmoz post on government susceptibility to cross site scripting. The results of their test over 2 years ago make me curious how government sites interact with the search engines today.
So I went to Google and searched: “robots.txt” “disallow:” filetype:txt [...]

What Shimon Sandler thinks is Advance SEO:
An Excerpt:
“A silo is a vertical page linking design. You have your landing page, or your main page, [...]
You should search Nielsen NetRatings. You will notice that they own the first 4 spots in Google.
Guess which one is their current site:
All three sites have the same content. Why would Nielsen NetRatings create three duplicate sites? Why would they maintain 3 different domains but not different content?
