We made a video at SMX Advanced with Stephen Spencer recently where we discussed (among other things) some changes expected(?) to be coming to Google in terms of the no-follow attribute. These no-follow changes have some pretty significant implications for lots of things, first and foremost though it seems these changes are specifically geared to mitigate, to some degree, the effectiveness of PR sculpting.
According to a study at eMarketer, worldwide spending for mobile search advertising in 2009 is expected to be more than $760 million. In case you haven’t been keeping track, that’s up almost 20% from last year’s total and by 2012, we're looking at 2.4 billion... with a 'b'. Mobile is big and getting bigger.
Isn’t there something just inherently ‘Internet-y’ in speculating about what the future will bring? Personally, I always enjoy chatting with smart web-savvy internet folks about where we are headed with ‘this’ or ‘that’ in the future.
At SMX Advanced in Seattle this year I asked Rebecca Lieb about what she is reading in the tea leaves insofar as search is concerned. Here are a few key concepts I considered the big takeaways from the discussion.
When you are evaluating your website from an SEO/Indexing/Crawlability perspective there are a few things to keep in mind and some important questions you may not be asking yourself. What questions are you asking yourself? Share with WebProNews readers.
Search Engine Marketing and SEO have always been very dynamic fields. Search engines make changes all of the time. Sometime they announce their changes, sometimes we are left to guess at them. In either event, more often than not, we are left largely to our own devices in terms of assessing the impact of these changes and what to do about them - if anything.
There have been a couple of pretty interesting articles written this week that ask a legitimate (if not somewhat sensationalized) question: Does Google consider SEOs to be criminals?
Last Tuesday, we discussed the idea of Google potentially making some changes to PageRank and it’s relationship to no-follow - particularly in the context of PageRank sculpting.
A hacker group has claimed to have hacked T-Mobile this past weekend and is apparently looking to cash in. Oh this world we live in, right? (Editor's Note: Be sure to read the update from T-Mobile at the end of the article)
I have had my ups and downs with Twitter to be sure. In my line of work however, Twitter has become one of those things that you really can’t ignore, so I’m good with it. I like the Tweeting. I consider myself a fan. As such, I try to spread the good word about Twitter to my non-Twittering friends and associates.
If you’re Microsoft, it probably isn’t the most comforting thought to know the biggest headline about your new OS, Windows 7, isn’t about features or updates… it’s about supported downgrade options.
Of course if you are a Vista person who has already downgraded back to XP, today is a good day for you. Microsoft has announced that the new Windows 7 OS will have downgrade support to both Vista and XP.
