Perhaps it was meant to say "every single year"? Since I agree that a 2x increase per month would be next to impossible. Per year would see a 2^5 = 32-fold increase from '99-'04 though, which would seem plausible. So I'm going for this line

A very good read. The job naturally sounds awesome: I mean, free gourmet food and heated toilet seats?!? (Oh yeah, and that other stuff: good pay, working with geniuses, etc etc ;-)) But equally, the ending really does IMO show that she's m

Searching from the UK, I get the exact same (really spammy) results that the SEOMoz blog post shows. Must be a localisation thing I guess?

Sounds good, thanks for the update Matt. I must ask though: I wonder whether you've seen the "January 26 2011 Traffic Change - Back to 'Zombie Traffic' " discussion over at Webmaster World? A number of webmasters there (who own websites wit

I felt like that when learning XHTML+CSS in the HTML 4 days (when the most common question seemed to be 'Best layout method: iframes or tables?!'), and with IE 5.5 still being used a bit it was a big annoyance to switch over to XHTML and CS

A patent for something that shouldn't be patentable? Bah. It's nothing against Google (who I'm a fan of), but a patent for "displaying original text in a user interface with translated text" just seems farcical. What's next, a patent for

If people find them useful then that's good to know :) I guess the possibility of Google allowing individuals to have a domain/site blacklist would be a good idea since you're right that I find some sites unhelpful whilst others find them u

Great advise. And I too recommend The E-Myth Revisted by Michael Gerber; it's definitely a great book and can really help to establish in one's mind the right way to go about working on your business and not in it, a key distinction.

Point 9 ("Realize that there's an ebb and flow") is definitely something to remember. Even when I'm really motivated on a project, the motivation never seems to last for longer than weeks. I guess knowing that this happens to every body, an

It depends on the quality of the content, in my opinion. Ultimately magazines are 'content farms'. Various game review sites are 'content farms', since they're both designed to 'churn out' content and articles. (To give a couple of quick -

How about the more general case of gray and black hat link building techniques? Especially in internet marketing and certain SEO communities, everything from forum profile backlinking to blog comments and mass article submissions are done d

It'll be interesting to see whether Google will take on some of the bigger sites. Add BizRate to the list too (its pages have a 'Related Searches' keyword stuffing section, and 99% of the site is auto-generated), along with WiseGeek: possib

Oh. Wow. EPIC, EPIC FAIL. Actually, they're doing it for other things too: [web based email] [adverts for publishers] [traffic analytics] I'm sure there's more. Wow. That truly is an epic fail. Google have removed Google from the SERPs. LOL
