Meet Jacqueline Zenn, the Search Blogger of the Day. Today I’d like to highlight a post called Changing Seasons = Changes in Traffic. This one caught my eye because I have several seasonal sites, and this post is a good reminder that panic should not be a part of the seasonal changes. 
I’d love…

One of the most interesting and exciting phenomena that has been created by the Internet is online communities or social media as they are sometimes called. Just think how often you hear the words, FaceBook or Twitter. It is a natural evolution from the connectedness of the Internet that was heralded in the Clue Train Manifesto. Here we will discuss how one can best profit from involvement in such online communities.
Social Media / Communities
Whenever one interacts with other people, the results can sometimes be unpredictable. There are four good, recent articles on how best to handle these interactions, perhaps not…

I’ve written a few of these recession-based posts lately myself, and while it may seem like “everyone is doing it”, it doesn’t make it any less important. Why? Because as…

Over the last couple of years Search Engine People has grown tremendously. But we didn’t come out of left field: we came out of the SEO community.
We studied together, we learned together, we researched together; together we’ve been flabbergasted by moves that Google has made, have wondered why they killed a good site but boosted a dirty one to the top. We shared compliments and ducked out of the way when mud was being slung.
Together.
And now, frankly, it’s enough.
No more taking; we want to give back to the community. More than that: we want to invest in the community.
When we started…

Meet Jeffrey Smith, the Search Blogger of the Day. Today I’d like to highlight a post entitled, The Value of Aggregators, Syndication and Hub Pages.

Meet Jeremy Rivera, the Search Blogger of the Day. Today I’d like to highlight a post titled, SEO Prayer. Ok, ok, this one is strictly fun, and is in no way useful for anything but a chuckle, but I couldn’t pass it up. Actually, I can imagine it might offend some of the more…

If you are a regular reader of SearchEnginePeople’s blog (and you should be if you aren’t), you’ll notice that Jeff Quipp just let everyone know that SearchEnginePeople just acquired SEO Scoop from me. I’ll still be around, and I’ll still be posting, but SEO Scoop will have the opportunity to grow into something much bigger than I could do alone. I have complete confidence that Jeff and the entire SearchEnginePeople gang will do my baby proud.
Here’s a quote from Jeff:
The intent of this purchase is to expand on Donna’s significant efforts to date, and make SEO-Scoop one of the hubs for information…

Not that this is necessarily new information for the SEOs of the world, but for those who might be newer to the world of search engine optimization, it’s always fun to pass along information that comes straight from a Google employee’s mouth. (Which isn’t to say you should believe everything a Google employee says, but it’s usually fairly obvious when their tongue ISN’T forked. hehe).
Today’s tidbit comes from an old friend of many SEO’s, John Mueller (johnmu or formerly known as softplus before Google absorbed him into their fold). John gives a quick answer to a question asked by niemi over on…
