Something else to consider with Big Daddy index problems
May 31, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment

SEO rant

Since the stomach flu has hit my entire household, I’ve dragged myself to the computer just for a few minutes. I want to get this rant typed up and sent out so I can go back to bed and sleep in peace.
Review of Search Marketing Standard magazine

While I was away, the first edition of Search Marketing Standard arrived in my mailbox. If you recall, back on January 26 of this year, I excitedly posted about a new print magazine for the SEO world that would soon debut.
Matt and Big Daddy
May 26, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · Comments Off
While I was gone, everyone was buzzing about Matt Cutt’s blog post, titled Indexing Timeline. I wanted to consolidate pieces of his post as well as his later comments in one place, so that those affected by the Big Daddy crawl/index issues wouldn’t have to wade through hundreds of comments to see everything. I have intentionally left some bits out that weren’t germaine to the issue, or were just repeats of things said elsewhere, or were obviously part of the original post, so they were easy to find. Feel free to go to the original post to see everything. So, here, in no rational order is my summary/compilation of Matt’s remarks.

Good to be home. Had fun while on vacation, but there’s nothing like home, eh? I have tons of catching up to do. Besides the several thousand emails to wade through, there were lots and lots of SEO news over the last couple of weeks. Expect to see some real posts (this is not one of those) beginning tomorrow.

Something for you to do while I’m away. Noticed this in a thread at DigitalPoint and tried it out. It made for a fun few minutes. This little SEO crossword puzzle isn’t very hard, but it is entertaining. Enjoy.
SEO goes on vacation
May 14, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 2 Comments
My long-anticipated vacation is just hours away. I will be leaving the world of SEO behind for at least 10 days (possibly a bit longer). I leave the ups and downs of the search engine roller coaster ride in all of your capable hands. And if all of my sites’ rankings take a steep dive into the netherworld, I will blame you!

MODx CMS – Looks search engine friendly
May 12, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment
I stumbled across a CMS system yesterday (literally Stumbled, as in I found the link via a site using stumbleupon.com). It is called MODx and is touted as an Ajax CMS and PHP Application Framework. Digging deeper, though, revealed that it is supposedly also search engine friendly, with se friendly URLs and the ability to handle unique titles and meta data.

A Google-bombing campaign for the E85 cause
May 9, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment
Yesterday, I made a very off-topic post about an issue that I feel strongly about – E85, or ethanol. In one of the comments, Jason made a suggestion that I thought was brilliant. I’d like to start a Google-bombing campaign where we link terms such as “oil” and “gas” to E85 sites. If you find it in your heart to join me in this, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to compile a list of those who participate (with links to your sites, of course). Thanks, Jason, for the great idea.
Search Engine Friendly Layouts
May 9, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 3 Comments
While browsing the comments of a blog recently, I noticed a url (nofollowed) in a comment, that sounded interesting to me. And it was. Search Engine Friendly Layouts is a nice collection of 2-column, 3-column, fixed-width and liquid CSS layouts, designed to always present the main content first. Each layout includes very clear instructions for use. Big thumbs up for the site.
