Fun commentary, but technology sometimes sucks…Graywolf and I talked with Greg about click stream analysis and its’ potential impact on search engine results positions. Most people that talk about search engine rankings sometimes forget to realize that there are 100’s if not 1000’s variables to tweak in the search algorithms. Disclaimer: generally when I ramble on the radio, it is nearly all pure speculation.

I’ll be talking with Greg GoodROI Niland tomorrow on Good Karma about various topics including the pros and cons of using clickstream data in search engine algorithms, speculation on how it may be used and a slew of other totally speculative topics that I probably have minimal expertise to comment on but will anyways. If you have questions, or get a chance stop by webmasterradio and check it out.

I was over perusing on Lee’s marketing blog when I noticed a post Thomas had done on Clicktracks appetizer. I’m a big fan of clicktracks mainly because the people behind it rock, they have excellent support and have made analytics extremly usable and yet still highly informational. Best of all they listen to their customers and implement feature requests. Do yourself a favor and pickup a copy of their free web analytics software. By the way, I have no affiliation with clicktracks other than really enjoying their software.

Link valuation is the most fundamental component of current SEO strategies in my mind. There are certainly other important aspects to ranking well, but without understanding how to put a value on a link you are sunk. That’s why I harp about it on a daily basis, and think about it myself just as often.

Usually by the time I return from a conference, I have all the mental capacity of a sea snail. I really don’t understand how folks blog and still manage to enjoy themselves. I generally shut down from the online world for about a week or so:)

We’ve already discussed SEO generations, how some folks entered the industry at different times and learned from others. Outside of the SEO sphere, however, SEO seems to elicit a much different response from folks based on their different (often negative) experiences with those claiming to be an SEO.
