We’ll explain the numbering nonsense below, as well as […]

  • Google’s Matt Cutts: No More PageRank Updates This Year

    Google’s head of search spam, Matt Cutts, said on Twitter yesterday that Google won’t be pushing out a new Google Toolbar PageRank update this year. Niels Bosch asked on Twitter if we should expect an update to PageRank before 2014. In response to that, Matt Cutts said, “I would be surprised if that happened.” It […]

  • Google Launches Fix To Stop Mugshot Sites From Ranking: Google’s MugShot Algorithm

  • Future SEO: Understanding Entity Search

    Last month, I asked you to imagine the future of SEO with a focus on Entity Optimization as I interviewed veteran semantic strategist Barbara Starr.

The Hummingbird Update On September 26, Google took another step toward becoming […]

  • How To Use The New AdWords Estimated Cross-Device Conversions

    A couple of months after the paid search world had to transition to AdWords Enhanced Campaigns in the name of simplified and more relevant cross-device ad management, we are finally getting some initial food for thought with regard to cross-device performance. I called it the “next frontier for online marketers” in a previous post, and we are now officially getting […]

  • Paid Search And Marketing Grow Further & Further Apart

    A few months back, I wrote an article for Marketing Land called “Is The Art Of Paid Search Marketing Dead?” in which I foolishly suggested there was still a small bit of art left in search marketing. Art? Are you kidding me? Ugh. I haven’t been so wrong or felt so foolish in a long […]
