Another Reason to Avoid Microsites
I know, lately our blog is starting to look like the SEOmoz love festival. But, I do love those guys and festivals are fun…but I digress… Microsites don’t pass the link juice onto your main site like you may think. Instead, integrate your blog or microsite into your main site, and get all the links, […]
Don’t Forget the Long Tail
Much has been said about long tail searches, and the video below illustrates how important these unique, less searched phrases can be to your site traffic. It is critical that you pay some attention to them as an SEO. Sometimes as much as 75% of your overall site traffic can be attributed to the long […]
Micro-Site Myth Revisited
I hear SEO’s and SEO companies occasionally recommend micro-sites, landing sites, splash sites or some version of the same. They hope to create several geo-targeted or keyword-targeted sites that bring immediate success and high placements.

Google just announced, in a lengthy 8 page pdf (see below) plans to launch a new micropayment process that will allow content developers to put some of their premium content behind a paywall.

Wikipedia More Reliable?
Every SEO sees Wikipedia as the ultimate seo’d site. It show up everywhere and gives so much content to Google, that they are almost impossible to compete against.

eBay Sells Skype
A few of us at TK spent a good number of years working for eBay. We were there when eBay originally purchased Skype. Even then (2005), internally, we scratched our head.

Bing & Ping: One of Those ‘Duh!’ Moments
Reading about Bing’s new Bing & Ping feature, I had one of those ‘duh, why didn’t they think of this earlier?’ moments. But, then again, I didn’t think of it either. What is Bing & Ping?
