How search has changed over the last 8 years

January 13th, 2010

The Eyeflow blog has a post with Phil Laboon’s presentation notes on how search has changed over the past eight years. This presentation was during our November 2009 seminar.

“One trend that I think we are going to hear a lot about next year is how search engines are going to depend more on User Reviews from various community sites like Yelp, e-pinion, and their own locals. In the past, the great hurdle was spammers creating hundreds of bogus accounts and hyping up their own companies.”

Is Social Media the Future of SEO?

February 17th, 2009

Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN are really taking of this year. I found myself on so many different types of social media sites that I had no way of keeping up with all of it until I came across a little site called FriendFeed which combines all your social media accounts into one feed.

Comprehensive List of Free SEO Tools

February 9th, 2009

I took the time to put together a complete list of Free SEO tools on the SEO Group Wiki. These are tools that many SEO consultants, including myself, use on a day-to-day basis including tools for; website review, competitive analysis, industry analysis, keyword research, technical review, link building, website tracking/monitoring and even firefox extensions.

Using these tools can help you get a better understanding of search engine optimization practices and point out any weaknesses your site may have.  A great way to keep up with new tools and seo news is to read sites like sphinn.

Once your signed up to the wiki feel free to add your own tools or create other wiki pages.

SEO Group Website Redesign

October 13th, 2008

Over the weekend I applied a new design theme to the Pittsburgh SEO Group website. This theme allows for me to have the next meeting featured at the top without creating duplicate content. I also like how this theme is cleaner and simpler than before. You also probably noticed that added a few sponsor banners, one at the top and two on the side. These are relative to the group and will help with maintaining and promoting the website.
