SMX West 2010 Photos

Last week’s SMX West conference was a unique one for me. I didn’t get to sit in on many sessions as an attendee because we were a bit short-handed at Search Engine Land, and I was pretty much working constantly on a variety of things for SEL. I live-blogged the keynotes, did the daily coverage [...]

SEO Benefits of Blogging: More Search Traffic

It’s sometimes hard to imagine or even quantify the specific SEO benefits of a business blog, but credit the gang at HubSpot for doing a good job of it.

More Small Businesses Using Social Media

How Google’s Algorithm Works

I sometimes struggle to explain Google’s ranking algorithm to small business owners. I just tried last week during a workshop here in my hometown, and I’m not sure if I did a good job. But fortunately there are other resources out there that do a better job than me. One is this new article from [...]

Anyone Wanna be Reviewed on Bing?

Here’s a screenshot that the folks in Redmond won’t like: How about that? “Results 1-3 of 3 for review us on bing“. And yes, you’ll get a lot more results if you try that search using Google, Yahoo, or Yelp. Bing might be gaining search share, but it’s way behind on having SMB’s asking customers to write [...]

How Long Should a Blog Post Be?

This is one of the most common questions small business owners and new bloggers ask. Blogging is uncharted territory. What should I write about? How often do I need to write?
