See the top searches for 2006 and look at #5 radioblog. Try and buy the keyword here’s what you get …
Price jacked to $10 and I get told the keyword is rarely included in searches (new ad not [...]

Which do you use more email or text messaging?
Texting. I send email to my grandparents. My friends all text, email is just too slow and you have to be on [...]
So it seems it’s not ok to buy links, however it is ok to pay for an editorial review which may get you a link as long as it’s not guaranteed.

Josh, with Yahoo, you’re paying for the manual review of a site by an editor–it’s [...]
I know everybody says it but one of the most important parts of Pubcon is the networking. I met Mario and Merrick Lozano of PRLeap and had a great time “talking shop” one night. Merrick was nice enough to do an interview and answer a few questions about himself and his company.
I met Chris at Pubcon in Vegas where he was live blogging some of sessions on his regular site 10e20.com. I also went out for drinks with him this past Monday night in the city (when people from NY say the city they mean Manhattan, any other use of the “the city” to describe a [...]
I came across a post today that was actually pretty interesting. I’ve been trying similar things but I think this execution was really good, for lack of a better name I’m going to call this a compilation post.
All right you know there aren’t many times Matt Cutts and I are 100% agreement over anything, but like he says
Bruce Clay Blog. I know I know, it didn’t really start in 2006, but 2006 is the year it became a must-read. Lisa and Susan, get them to turn on comments over there, will [...]
Just for kicks I thought I’d post a picture from a site that’s suffering from the minus 30 penalty from the webmaster central (aka Google Sitemaps) control panel.

Nick Mentioned this in his December 6th podcast but I think it’s important to note and hopefully get him a few listeners by dropping another link. Search Engine Land is really making Search Engine Watch look like the keystone cops during a chinese fire drill. Smack dab in the middle of SES Chicago Conference, as [...]
I’m starting to see referral traffic from Megite.com pretty regularly. I’m also testing it out in my feed reader, and as a concept I’m liking it. In practice it needs a little tweaking, the same stories keep popping up all day even though I read them. It looks like this is happening when they add [...]
If you happened see any of the site review clinics at pubcon you might have wondered how do people look things up so quickly. Lots of people use bookmarklets for quick and dirty type searches. For example say you wanted to to know who a site links to using the new MSN [linkfromdomain] command. So [...]
So I come across a story on CNN about how a toy company used YouTube to create a Viral/Word of Mouth Marketing Buzz for a new remote control helicopter. Did they embed a youtube video … did they even include a link to any of the videos … did they even include a url in [...]
