The Search Marketer’s Guide to Digg

If you're new here, you may want to learn more about me, introduce yourself or check out my best posts. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve been playing with Digg quite a lot lately - it’s an interesting site with a very well defined user base (of alpha geeks). I decided to start taking notes on some of my favorite articles and information on Digg for your reading pleasure (and so you don’t have to search as much as I did). I think there are some great opportunities for reaching an impressive audience with digg. They’ve got some sharp folks behind the scenes - and are improving their algorithm at a rate much faster than we’ve seen search engines do in the past.

Ted Leonsis Contest - Keep it Clean

Brian thought a contest for Ted Leonsis would be a good idea - and of course Michael’s always up for a bit of SEO experimenting. I think this “contest” offers a good opportunity to demonstrate the importance of rep management in a positive way. I created a Ted Leonsis page as well - so if that page manages to win - I’ll gladly donate Brian’s money to charity (Leukemia research). My plea to those that compete is that you keep it clean - focus on Ted’s accomplishments, and help teach people about the positive things he’s done instead of just being a wanker and tryin’ to get something to rank. I’ll gladly put up a bio or redirect after the first of the year, if Ted bothers to comment on the contest at all.

The Stunt Train SEO Marketing Manifesto

There’s probably a lot of better more cool names I could label myself - but I will forever consider “being an SEO” an honor, despite the beating it often takes from those that sully it’s good name. Below are the principles and qualities I would consider for qualification as a “good SEO”. I’m sure there are plenty that I missed - and hopefully there will be some debate of what can be added or removed, but these are the areas I personally feel are unique to “being an SEO” - and common traits and ideals that I see in those that I would consider top SEO’s. Why do you need a flashy title if you can sum up what you do in a three letter acroynym?

Top 14 Cool New Names for Someone Who Practices SEO

It’s a beautiful irony that SEO’s have a marketing problem with the “reputation of SEO” so I thought I’d give a few suggestions on other names SEO’s can now use on their business card or website as a selling point.

Las Vegas Pubcon 2006 Roundup

A week in Vegas with many of my favorite people on the planet always makes for a fantastic time. Great friends, great food, amazing new information, and the most creative thinking you’ll probably ever bear witness to. I’m now in recovery mode - trying to keep the cold at bay with lots of vitamin C packets and rest.
