The tool you are thinking of is called XRumer ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRumer ) and it is the bane of the internet and the industry. Steer clear of it is my only recommendation.

So I have done SEO at enterprise level for many years now (i.e. not the snake oil that is commonly labeled as SEO). My first piece of advice would be to not under any circumstances go with what you are suggesting by creating your own artifi

Reading through some of the comments here I feel like you just posted a video series of running over cats in your SUV to Reddit. Personally, I love it, I think its great, has a slick feel and experience to it. The site wasn't as respon

Adobe are huge in the enterprise analytics world. I would argue they are kind of shitty at it but they are huge all the same.

Only makes money via Amazon affiliate links which aren't a horrible gig if you get even semi decent traffic.

Currently by hand but literally every single aspect of that site is entirely outsourcable to college students who would cost me much less than the cash that an affiliate site with even relatively low traffic would expect to make organically

I don't mean this in some passive aggressive way at all but I was genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on why publish this at all. It's interesting data though for sure, I will give you that :)

It's fine, it's just the nature of reading words on a screen with no other context. I don't disagree with your sentiment at all I guess the thought of this turning into a complete "look how stupid they are haha" thr

I say this as a bit of a closet NK watcher and as someone who visited DPRK back in August but in all likely hood there most likely were / will be very very real and unfortunate consequences for whoever was responsible for this. I'

I tried submitting a URL of mine http://fmhgifts.com but it doesn't seem to work as the button is greyed out for some reason.

I literally just launched http://fmhgifts.com last week so it's a bit early to say but I have heard rumours of similar websites making several thousand a month.

In fact for what it's worth neither was the meta description tag and the comment about social signals is misleading at best.

I have been in the really high level SEO space for a long time and the second I saw this it made me very uncomfortable for that reason. Theoretically it absolutely could, in reality, it's hard to say but I wouldn't be overly enthu

Yeah I had someone actually point this out to me just before actually. I had been using HTTP Everywhere plug in so I didn't realise that HN was now HTTPS by default but cheers for the clarification.

I didn't actually cover this in the article but it's probably worth addressing here. To answer your first question about do we know how effective it is, the answer is kind of in the sense that everyone I know in the industry who has impleme

I'm trying to get Matt to give some official or semi official numbers on this. I have worked in nothing but high end enterprise level stuff for a while which means I have all kinds of NDAs in place about any specifics. But speak with anyone

95% agree with exactly this. I am more or less done with consulting personally for this reason. In fact as of last month I actively quit my consulting job and moved to South East Asia to work on development and start up ideas full time with

I'm not going to lie, I am a little bit geeked out to have Matt on the thread. On a related note though, is there any chance of releasing any data around CTR improvements with Authorship pictures displayed. I can think of a couple of reason

As someone who for the past several years has done very high end legitimate SEO consulting to fortune 500 style companies (i.e. not the spammy mess than the HN crowd would usually associate with SEO), I am more than happy to go on the recor
