Search Matters Weekly Search Nougat
June 21, 2007 – 8:34 am
Just like the nutty sweet paste in the middle of your afternoon candy bar, this week’s search links will pack a powerful burst of sugary energy to get you through the rest of the day. Unless you’re allergic to nuts; in which case, that tingling you may be feeling is probably anaphalixis. Two words. […]
Search Matters Weekly Search Panoply
June 13, 2007 – 9:45 am
Break out your Mortimer Ichabod Marker you wordsmiths, you. It’s time for another edition of weekly search links. 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. But I think we’re on to something here. […]
The New Ask.com: Part 1
June 11, 2007 – 7:58 am
Behold the new and, in our opinion, improved Ask.com. Now more Web 2.0-er!

Search Matters Weekly Search Crunk
June 1, 2007 – 9:05 am
Time to get it crunk up on it and throw down the gangsta SEO links for this week. You can tell I’m 100% street because I said gangsta and crunk. I’m practically a legend in my cubicle. My t-shirt that says THUGLIFE has a rip in it. That’s all I’m saying.
Get your jazz hands ready […]
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. So I thought it was appropriate for the weekly smörgåsbord of farm […]

Normally I just post search links here with the exaggeratedly plain title “Search Matters Weekly Search links”. Well, you know what? We need to add a pinch of SEO spice to this weekly mélange of tasty Search goodness, so I’m going to try out some cinnamony sweet new titles and, in the spirit of […]

May 4, 2007 – 10:43 am
Word on the street is that, in light of their latest loss to Google over Double Click and the new Google Apps (MS Office killer) and a possible Google OS beta to be released soon, Redmond is back in talks with Yahoo about a possible merger; even though the business advantages to this merger appear […]
Search Matters Weekly Search Links 4/25/2007
April 25, 2007 – 2:19 pm
Blogs, social networks and personalized search are all making headlines this week. All this fancy pants social media and uppity blog talk gets me cranky. I remember a time when you didn’t have to worry about RSS food and XML whatsits and tag storms, or whatever. You just built a static website with a […]
