I disagree that Wikipedia is using a double standard
April 30, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment
Techcrunch and Search Engine Land both seem to think Wikipedia is using a double standard by giving special treatment to their own website properties, because they are not nofollowing links to their own sites.

I’ve talked about submitting to directories several times before and I’ve recently discovered another good directory submission service. Some of the things I like about this particular service are: Read more
Tagging moments in online videos with Veotag
April 28, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · Comments Off
All online videos should have some kind of tagging system that allows users to click on a tag and jump right to the part of the video it references. That’s just what veotag does and it’s pretty cool.

Watch your site visitors every movement

How cool would it be to be able to watch your visitors move their mouse, click on links, and scroll down your pages? Would that tell you anything about your site? What if you could watch and record your users’ actions for free? Would that make you clap your hands, spin around, and do a happy dance? Would I love to watch and record THAT? LOL. Ok, you can watch and record your users’ actions for free (but you can’t see them clap their hands, spin around and do a happy dance).
SEOs lose one of the best free tools to a paid model
April 26, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 6 Comments
I’m not sure exactly when this happened (it had to be sometime in the recent past), but SEOmoz has taken away the free Keyword Difficulty tool. This excellent tool is now only available to Premium members ($39/month). Obviously, since I’m not a Premium member, I’m not very happy about that. I’ve not only lost a tool that I’ve come to rely upon, but I’ve lost all the reports I’ve run in the past. Of course, Rand and his team has every right to monetize their site. After all, they give a HUGE amount back to the SEO community. I really have no beef with this at all, except for the fact that it made me pout.

What happens while you are busy being uninspired? You find out that someone released an SEO tool before you did.
What do you do for inspiration?
April 24, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment
I am completely uninspired right now. In fact, I’ve been this way for a few days now. I am usually a workaholic, and can find joy in working. But I’ve mentally checked out of the work mode for a while, and I’m not sure how to check back in. I’m sure everyone gets that way at times. What do you do when inspiration is at an all time low? Do you let it ride and see if things change? Do you try to force your way through it? Do you take a break or a vacation? What works for you?
Random Scoop

After reading Techcrunch’s post about the Random Redirect Wordpress plugin, I had to have it. I love Stumbling, and this is like having my own SEO Scoop Stumbler. Just click on the Random Scoop link in the top nav bar to get redirected to a random SEO Scoop post. Who knows what crazy stuff I might have said years ago?
