Search Matters Weekly Search Declaration
July 12, 2007 – 2:22 pm
We skipped the links last week because we were all celebrating the Fourth of July in a 100% real American hero, patriotic way. Even the two dudes on the organic team from Canada. We take that very seriously here. Like SEO. Nothing says red blooded American Apple pie like some good ole patriotic SEO. So [...]

I’ve been getting some resistance from the upper echelons on the quality and tone of these weekly posts, that perhaps they are not moving in the direction originally intended.

Search Matters Weekly Search Mélange
May 23, 2007 – 11:04 am
So last week, I started the weekly search marketing links naming convention. Just to recap, we’re trying to decide on what we’re calling the weekly links (e.g. Mélange…last week is was search hotness). So why Mélange? Well, mélange means a mixture or hodgepodge.
