I've had the same exact thing happen to me, but I'm the startup founder and my girlfriend is a management consultant. She's been known to take her laptop out to bars.

Gab Goldenberg at http://seoroi.com/ did a little bit of free link building work for me (because I helped him with some other stuff), and he did an excellent job. I haven't heard from any of his clients, but he's active in the SEO communi

That's the image that they like to create, and I think for the most part they like to have the algorithm do as much of the work as it possibly can; however, this post by Aaron Wall that includes Google's General Guidelines for Remote Qualit

I like Rand's proposed solution, and I'm confident that the folks at Google can come up with something even better and more effective. I'm finding that natural link building is getting harder and harder. Much of this is because social media

Maybe David's next project can be Infomercials for Hackers: How to Overcome Your Fear of Marketing-speak. I think that a lot of people leave money on the table because they think that everyone else on the Internet has the same spam radar th

I completely agree. I just started using Optimizely today, and the ability to make a small change instantly across all pages on your site is extremely valuable.

During my Freshman year of college (2002), I was taking Econ 101. It was a class of probably 500 students, and our tests were multiple choice. By the time I got back to my dorm room, the answers to the test were always up on the course webs

Backupify offers exactly this service. It would be nice if you could somehow keep the data on your Dropbox.

I don't agree. Readiness for funding should not be a litmus test for whether a business is a "startup." There are plenty of startups that never need funding. I think that if you want to differentiate between startups and self-employment, a

I think that it would be a great time to start encouraging current patients to leave reviews online. I know there are some startups that automate this kind of thing. It's a good thing to do anyway, and it especially makes sense in this situ

Look the same places. Then go to the company sites and look at their job listings. A lot of them will have non-technical positions posted. I do this a lot when I'm looking for new companies to cover (I run an editorial jobs-focused site).

It makes sense that links that are only found in the sitemap don't get indexed. Unless you link to the sitemap somewhere on your site (not including in robots.txt), then you're not going to pass any PageRank to the sitemap, and it's not goi

Thanks for posting this. In the Summer Jobs thread, a similar post of mine received quite a few upvotes. I figured that people looking for jobs found it helpful, so I was inclined to try it again.

Wouldn't using a hidden link also subject you to a possible penalty from Google and other search engines?

There's a startup based here in Chicago called FeeFighters http://feefighters.com/ I've never tried it, but they'll apparently do this for you. They get a number of payment processors to bid for your business, and the winning bidder pays

I think that they may want to change their terminology. By plant they mean factory, not... er... plant.

I'm seeing it. This is different from a "dislike" button though. When you have blog posts and other content with hundreds or thousands of comments, chronology is no longer an effective way of sorting. This idea seems to make sense. I think

I've always wondered why there aren't more creative attempts at monetizing free Wi-Fi. This seems like a great start. I've always thought that Wi-Fi providers should find a way to add an affiliate tag to links to major e-commerce sites like

Their information architecture is a little odd too. Back when I was looking at their jobs a year or two ago, they had a Jobs page from 2002 still up on their site with an old school design. I just checked back, and it finally redirects to t

The OP should take a look at Bonobos. They're a startup in the same space, and they could offer a good partnership opportunity. They sell a lot of other companies' products.

"Michigan’s forests yielded more money and created more millionaires than did all the gold mined during California’s Gold Rush." It may not be the most mind-blowing fact I've heard in my life, but it's one of my favorites. It shows how much
