As our Airbnb office is in the same block as the Pinterest office, and a former colleague of mine started working there just recently, it’s fairly easy to pop-in and check out their office. Happy to report the Pinterest office is like their product, fun and full with interesting design or DIY projects. Like this […]
How I Use @Pocket @Buffer & @IFTTT to Make My Social Sharing Efficient
How are you sharing great content online with people on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter? Automatic sharing through social media can be annoying for your followers IF you don’t curate what goes on your feed. First off, I hate the rapid fire sharing some people do, why share 12 posts in just 20 seconds? I hate […]
The Hypocrisy of Google. Don’t be Evil? Don’t Believe the Hype
Is it just me, or do we see more and more blog posts being published questioning the good, the bad and the evil of Google? Where the Mountain View search company has been a long time darling for so many, where they couldn’t do any evil, I see more critical posts about Google these days […]
Local Tree House SERP’s
With my new found love for tree houses, I just found myself a new favorite query to check out changes in the search results. Where I used to try stuff like Canon Digital Camera or Diaper Bag to stay aware of the latest changes in e-commerce SERP’s, I now want to know what’s happening in […]
In Post Tweet Buttons; Top or Bottom
I always wondered when people are inclined to share my posts here with their followers on Twitter. Is that right after the first paragraph or is it after reading the whole piece.

@Buzzfeed Commits Social Media Murder on @VirginMobileUSA Brand
We have seen it before, a brand which commits brand suicide on social media by reacting insensitive or just plain stupid. What usually happens, is that the brand fires the social media agency, posts an apology and is done with it. But have you ever seen a partner of a large brand commit murder on […]
Will You Work for Free?
Would you work for free? Would you spend 20 minutes on the phone with somebody you have never met, knowing they will make a good amount of money based on the conversation you had over the phone? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for helping out strangers to extend my network, or keeping up with my […]
LRR Sign of the Times in SEO
LRR stands for Link Removal Request, and some site owners are going apeshit about how they need to clean up their link profile. Personally I got one LRR so far, on a link which was completely editorial, so I didn’t complied. The company did use some questionable tactics to get backlinks for a competitive vertical […]
Avoid 1 Star Reviews in SERP: Dynamic Schema integration
I stumbled on this Yelp snippet the other day. Normally you would expect to see rich snippets increase the click through rate of your result, but in this case, I doubt it. What if Yelp would be smart with Rich Snippet optimization and take it one step further. Dynamically implement the schema code based on […]
Marktplaats data; eBay’s entry into classifieds
Back in 2004, while working for eBay in The Netherlands, I was able to work on an interesting project. The project was code named Manhattan, and resulted in the acquisition of the largest classifieds site in The Netherlands, Marktplaats.nl, and eBay’s entry into the classifieds business. Just last week, eBay bought another classifieds site, in […]
