McMaster's HQ is in Chicago area, Elmhurst IL - they also have a major warehouse in Atlanta (and NJ, LA, Cleveland I think, maybe others)

And yet amazon.com has, at least now, an awesome logo. It's got an arrow from a to z which makes a smile. Three elements related to what it does, or at least aims to do.

They do not allow the AdWords spending to directly influence search results. There's likely some higher-order effects which could influence the results, though.

The NYT has a ton of costs built into the company, and therefore into the market cap.

Did anyone else get an email survey from the Quora Data Team asking for feedback on the site? I got this the other day, seems like maybe it was targeted at people who hadn't used Quora much in a while but had recently logged in?

Yeah, but there's likely at least some slight benefit from nofollowed links, especially if there are positive social signals.

Because it gives a sense of transparency to the process, when in reality google is far from transparent. If they made a big deal about how no one could see the meetings behind the curtain, the secret mystique might erode some of google's go

True story, although once you're spending enough on AdWords you'd have to do some pretty egregious stuff to get your AdWords account banned (and to some extent you're much less likely to get a major, lasting ban in organic search).

Unless they're sandbagging the spam filtering right now, there's no way twitter is close to tapping into the potentially huge value of their data. I'd love to see them turn the data into huge value and insight, but they'll need to show a lo

This is a good point - i've seen a bunch of Facebook Notes page spam, using the Amazon affiliate program, on the first page for product SKU queries. It seems these pages can be created faster than FB can remove them, and they cycle into the

You could actually show us what goes into the rankings for [weather]. Until then, some will be cynical, whether you think it's warranted or not from the inside.

I don't know of anyone who specifically optimizes for Bing - most of the ranking signals are the same or at least similar to Google, so with far less traffic than G it's not worth it to focus on bing SEO (or for bing to change their algorit

It's very unlikely. This seems to be one of the reasons google has been turning what appears to be a blind eye toward paid links - it's hard not to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Successful people attribute almost everything to their own intelligence, willpower or hard work to feel better about themselves. Luck is extremely important for any individual trial - once you get up to a large sample size, sure, your trait

The NYT article was also several different themes, somewhat related to each other, put together. The Forbes re-blog stuck to the one most link-bait theme.

This is not true at all, though - what compromises exactly did they make in power pitching? At most, the team structure would decrease their chances in the playoffs by a few percent. Any analysis based on strictly playoff results is going t

I think the JC Penney brand has already been placed into this cheaper segment. They are squarely aimed at the mass market.

Well, also Cambridge is right next to a much larger city. This seems like it might have more to do with it.

How does this deal with small sample sizes? The monthly visit numbers at each payment level are fairly small, so I wonder what sort of conclusions can be drawn from the sample sizes available.

But switching paid search platforms is considerably hairier, especially if you have a large Adwords account with well built out campaigns. There's no way to drive anywhere near the volume of Adwords on Bing, especially once you're running a

Agree entirely with your summary - lots of good advice. The amount of actual content on the priceonomics product pages is super thin. google is not going to be a big fan of throwing out every page of search results into the index - you're p

the problem is there are so many hacky, cold-calling SEOs that the majority of people you're likely to run into in SEO suck. when you really get into it (obviously biased) i think the combination of statistics, data mining, creative content

who recommends highly nested folder trees? i've not heard this and have certainly seen it hurt sites. all things equal, flatter is better. my rule of thumb is go as flat as you can while still having an organized, navigable URL structure.
