I thought it might be nice to sum up the last few days with a little tune and a bit of rhyme. I hope you enjoy it and feel it’s worth the waste of time. 
SEO Cartoon Quiz
September 19, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 7 Comments
Find out if you are an SEO expert or not by taking this quiz. Don’t worry, it’s short and it’s fun because you are choosing answers based on cartoons. I got 100% right, as you can see by the screenshot I took. But even if you get them all wrong, it’s still a fun waste of time for any SEO geek.
SMS Crossword Puzzle
September 6, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 8 Comments
More than a year and a half ago, I first got excited about a print magazine that was going to debut just for us – Search Marketing Standard. Several editions later, I wanted to celebrate this great little magazine by following its lead. In this last edition (Fall 2007), SMS published a crossword puzzle near the back of the magazine. I thought it would be fun to emulate this, so I created a crossword puzzle that uses words and phrases pulled directly from the last 3 editions of SMS. You can probably guess at some of them, but others might require that you actually have the magazine in front of you. If you haven’t been a subscriber to the magazine since at least the Spring 2007 edition, you might not be able to get all of the answers right.
If SEO were Politics, Which Party Would You Be In?
July 25, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 6 Comments
Let me start out by saying that I am extremely non-political, so if I get my political definitions a little wrong, well, just forgive me. Recently, an SEO called a friend of mine a spammer and the guy obviously knows nothing about my friend. My friend is not even close to being a spammer. Nevertheless, the fervor with which this guy and his cronies lambasted my friend without having any facts whatsoever reminded me of extremism, which then made me think of politics. So I thought maybe we should dump the old white hat / black hat / whatever color hat descriptions and see if political party designations fit better.
May I suggest some new Backlink acronyms?
July 7, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 6 Comments
Because some people insist on arguing semantics rather than substance, might I be allowed to suggest some new acronyms that we could all use when referring to backlinks? Just as PR was once just “PR” but later needed to have TB added to it (as in TBPR), I think we now need to categorize backlinks (BL) in the following ways:
Have you been Plutoed?
March 12, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · Comments Off
In a comment on WMW, walrus used a term that cracked me up, but I think it’s a great one. He said, ” I have been plutoed as well”. I’m not sure if he was the first to use the term or not, but I’m giving him credit for it unless I hear otherwise.
Understanding SEO Terminology
January 5, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment
Even the very title of this post could be debated, but I’m not too worried about that. Nevertheless, there’s a great thread going on over at WebmasterWorld that discusses the various terms used in our industry, and how they are often misused. This one is a must-read, I think, for newbies and experienced alike. All of our discussions would be better served if we were all on the same page. Check it out.

Matt Cutts defines data push vs. data refresh – kinda
October 26, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 4 Comments
Matt Cutts, in a comment on his blog, explains the differences between the Google terminology “data push” vs. “data refresh”. Of course, we really don’t get a clue as to what either of them actually is…but well, I’ll let you read it for yourself.
Some funny SEO definitions by Orion
August 26, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 1 Comment
In my previous post, I pointed you to some tutorials by Orion that are quite intense. However one tiny link in one of those tutorials led me to a couple of other posts he’s made that are simply hysterical. Orion has created a few new words that help define some of the things that we, as SEOs, and bloggers may be “infected with”. I certainly hope none of these terms apply to me, but if they do, I apologize.
What LSI really is – and what it is not
August 26, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 3 Comments
Orion has kindly created several tutorials (and is in the process of creating more) to shed light on Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), as well as Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). LSI has been discussed in SEO forums for a few years, but I’m not sure anyone has ever really understood it. (I never even heard of SVD until tonight – sounds like a disease to me. Anyway, reading Orion’s tutorials lets me know for sure that I have never understood LSI – and I possibly never will).
