While doing some research for KW/Page rankings for Airbnb, I came across an un-related paid search advertisement by my former employer, eBay. It’s kind of funny that I used to know how keywords would flow into the paid search systems for those targeted ads, and sometimes completely unrelated ads could have massive Return on Investment. […]
Another Day, Another Drama in SEO Land
Sometimes you wonder if we, SEO’s, should all come together and just start ignoring these kind of link bait posts. I’m talking about the article from Paul Boag at Smashing Magazine today with the title: The Inconvenient Truth about SEO. To avoid playing into Paul’s cards, I’m not linking to his article, but instead linking to the […]
Google Dance 2007 T-Shirt
Back in 2007, at the SES San Jose, I picked up the T-Shirt I was wearing today. I believe it must have been the last Google Dance at a large search marketing conference. The SES in San Jose in 2007 has gone down in history as the point Google brought down the hammer on Paid […]
Local SEO Travel Guides or Great UX
Three weeks ago, I wrote a post of my move to join Airbnb. Then I got a major shout out for a new product of Airbnb launched just a couple of weeks ago, the local travel guides for Neighborhoods. I wish I could take that much credit, but these Neighborhood guides were already in the […]
Google Plus Growth through Fembots
According to this article of TheNextWeb, Google plus shows healthy growth, with more than 400 million activated profiles, and 100 million monthly active users. How the active user is defined, I’m not sure, as Google keeps the definition unclear. I, for one, am usually always logged into my Google account, which would make me an […]
Internal Link Spam Gone Rogue
I’ve written before about the Black Hole SEO with Internal Linking for SEO win. Some of the largest media properties are getting more and more aggressive with automatic linking to internal tag pages or round-ups on a specific subject. Think about the New York Times or the popular technology blog Techcrunch not linking out to the actual […]
Recommended Articles AllThingsD Style
How to loose some credibility in the technology your site is running on. Clicking on a We recommend link under the article Mayer Brings in First Googler on AllThingsD, brings me to an article from 2006! Really.. You are sending me to an article from 6 years ago! I was intrigued by the title in the link: […]
Do You Have a Social Media Will?
Sunday evening, chilling on the couch with the extra screen on my lap. Twitter humming in the background, while I catch up with email, reading and some of the Olympic events I have not seen yet (yeah for first Gold of The Netherlands!). #BlogChat in full swing, where Darren Rowse posted an interesting Tweet. I […]
Olympic Updates Text-Popup from The Guardian make me CLICK
I’ve been pretty focal about the intext pop-up ads which are keyword targeted. If you are reading an article, especially on financial focussed websites, I’m not particular interested to see advertisements around mortgage; credit cards or investing in the middle of the article. so please stop those in-text keyword targeted pop-up ads! But today I […]
Olympics only on NBC
With the Olympic games starting fairly soon, I was wondering where I could find the Olympics schedule of all the events, and which channel these would be broadcasted at. With the brand lockdown in London, where a number of media & bloggers has already called out the Olympics Comite a brand maffia, nothing is different […]
