Search Engine Optimization Is A Popularity Contest
2008-03-21 15:34:00 I found this paragraph buried deep in the middle of a half-way good article on Search Engine Optimization : The world of search engines boil down to the stereotypical high school hierarchy.

MSN Goes Local
2008-03-17 19:21:00 It never dawned me until I read this, but Microsoft’s interest in Yahoo ! could be local. As far as local yellow page providers go, Yellowpages.com doesn’t provide any more advantage to Microsoft than Superpages does. Greg Sterling is right about that.

2008-03-15 21:47:00 When it comes to optimizing photos, the content surrounding the photos is as important as the alt attribute in the img src tag.
