Is Pinterest the next Facebook?
In March the site registered 17.8 million users, according to Comscore, a 52% jump in just one month — and it isn’t even open to everyone (would-be “pinners” must still request an invitation to join).

The latest Google update has a measurable effect on rankings for SMBs... especially if you're a brick-and-mortar business.
“Although Pinterest’s popularity has skyrocked over the past six months, gaining traction was painfully slow during the first year-and-a-half, Silbermann recounted. Nine months after launch, the site still had fewer than 10,000 users. “Someone was asking, ‘Why did you keep going?’ I think the answer was telling everyone that we blew it was so embarrassing,” Silbermann admitted. “Google [wasn’t] going to hire me [again], they barely hired me the first time.””

(Blog post on the pros and cons of the keyword tag.) I personally stopped using the meta keywords tag nearly a year ago in most instances. (I have one client who INSISTS we still use them.) However, I do still come up with what I would have used as keywords before beginning any on-page optimization, as I find it very helpful for focusing my efforts. I just don't take the time to employ the actual tag.
Seriously, if you haven't done so already, you NEED to start assessing your 2011 traffic/analytics data. This will help you judge and plan your SEO efforts throughout the next year, as well as provide a baseline for seasonal performance.
Happy New Year!
Things have been overwhelmingly wild this holiday season, so forgive me while I pause to get things back on track before updating this Tumblr. I'm planning a post Santorum's SEO "problem" (oh so very much to say about that one), so here's a little background on the issue to hold you over while I compose :-)
My friends and work contacts are constantly asking me whether they should invest in SEO or SEM/SEA. Of course the simple answer is "both," but in this blog post, I've tried to break down the major differences in basic terms that pretty much anyone can understand.
However, the most important message behind this blog post is that, as a client, you need to set different expectations for the two disciplines. It's important for anyone considering search marketing services to go into it with realistic expectations and a solid understanding of what it means.
1 Part Personals, 1 Part Social Media?
This article about the soon-to-be-relaunched Nerve dating site mentions "algorithms" and talks about an interface that rings similar to Facebook, Twitter and our much loved Tumblr.
Are we talking about dating or inbound marketing here? And is there really such a big difference, anyways?
I've never thought about it before, but it bears examining: the two operate under the same principles. On a dating profile, you promote yourself by sharing interesting content and photos, starting conversations, and using keywords that you think will attract potential mates. With inbound marketing, you try to get new leads by sharing interesting content and photos, starting conversations (via blogs, social media, etc.) and, oh yeah, using keywords that you think will attract potential customers.
Sound creepy? Not really. Attraction is attraction after all. Doesn't matter if you're selling yourself or your product; at the end of the day, it all comes down to strategy.
“No one saw the panda uprising coming. One day, they were frolicking in our zoos. The next, they were frolicking in our entrails. They came for the identical twins first, then the gingers, and then the rest of us. I finally trapped one and asked him the question burning in all of our souls – 'Why?!' He just smiled and said ‘You humans all look alike to me.’”

Those who know me, know that I'm not a fan of the new analytics. However, this article does a decent job of helping to make sense of some of the new features.

Interesting read... the one thing I've always said about using video content on your site is that, at the very least, it'll increase visitor interaction & keep people on your site longer. And that's ALWAYS a good thing.
A few weeks ago, I presented some beginner's tips at the Driven Internet Marketing Summit (here in Rhode Island). Since time was limited, I focused exclusively on creating search engine optimized web content. As a continuation of that presentation, I'd now like to share some quick tips on writing content for your most important audience: human visitors. (Well, okay, you got me. What I really mean is: potential customers.)
This is bad news bears, if you ask me.
Losing valuable insight into what your searchers want is bound to a have negative effect on user experience. How can we create content that's truly helpful to our audience if we don't know what they're looking for?
As Rand points out in this article/video, I don't buy that Google is truly doing this to protect privacy. If that were the case, they would hide all the search queries, regardless of whether or not someone was signed-in. Also, by simply offering the option of searching via their SSL site, they are already protecting the privacy of anyone who wants it.
Curious what other people think of this new development...
It’s a known fact in advertising circles that only idiots click on ads — and yet advertisers still think that click-through rates mean something, and that a higher click-through rate means a better ad.
