If you’ve been using Blekko you know that it is pretty cool for SEO information – e.g. it has slashtags for a site’s inbound links (I suspect we’ll all be using this one quite a lot once Yahoo kills off its linkdomain: operator), duplicate content, site pages (an analog of Google’ site: operator) and many [...]
It’s been two years since the first release of my Directory Marketing Reborn ebook and I thought I’d celebrate it with a new free tool for my ebook readers. This tool is the long-awaited Keyword Competitiveness Tool.
It lets you check the competitiveness of your keywords in Google.com as well as [...]
Ubiquity, a Firefox plugin enabling custom javascript commands usage, has updated to version 0.5 which features, among other changes, a new parser for the commands (a.k.a. Parser 2). This parser requires its own command syntax and due to that a lot of custom commands, including my SEO commands, got disabled.
I tried digging into the issue [...]
After the Alexa update post, I was wondering just how Alexa top sites data compares to its main competitors – Compete and Quantcast. What is the most reliable source of data about sites’ traffic? Should we just check all the 3 if we want an adequate picture? I checked and here’s what I have found [...]

Only problem is, a while ago Yahoo! started directing all the linkdomain: queries to its [...]
One of the things I have always hated about Twitter has been its lack of usability for keeping the conversations within their context. Even if you follow all the people whose conversation you are trying to read, doing this has been a royal pain in the ass. If you follow a bunch of people like [...]
It seems that lately (well not only lately) everybody keeps talking about how Twitter will soon become the new Google or Facebook will soon become the new Google but it has been a while since anybody has mentioned Icerocket becoming the new Google.
In the meantime, when have you last taken a look at it? Not [...]
I’ve been playing with Twitter lately and while many say (and I can’t help but agree) that Twitter is really a huge time waste I do find it handy when you need to reach people quickly – especially since a lot of people in the SEO industry seem to have replaced their email and IM [...]
So I finally caved in and decided I need to update myself more often on the industry news. I thought the easiest and computer-independent way to do it (since I use multiple computers over a day) would be to use Google Reader – especially since I can share the items I like on it.
For those [...]
