Help the Oregon Food Bank
I stole this directly from Food Dude at Portland Food & Drink because he moved me to donate to the Oregon Food Bank with his post. When you look at what the OFB achieves, it’s really quite staggering. Less than 5 percent of expenditures go to fund raising and administrative costs. They distributed 792,000 emergency

Flash: still not good for findibility
I’ve been getting reports from various sources that Google is now indexing flash “for real” this time and we don’t have to worry about using text to make sure search spiders and people with pagereaders can access our content. I did read the Google Webmaster blog post on Improved Flash indexing but I tend to

Overture Keyword tool discontinued
It’s the end of an era. Barry Schwartz at SearchEngineLand reports that Yahoo has decommissioned the Overture Keyword Suggestion tool. Although I no longer use it (I prefer the Google Adwords Keyword tool as my free keyword tool), I think it was one of the first keyword tools I ever used and one I have

Reflections on SMX Advanced Seattle 2008
This is not a summary of what I learned, just some random thoughts on the conference itself. I am not an SEO insider. I do inhouse SEO and do not mingle with the big players. First off, this was far better than Search Engine Strategies conferences. I’ve attended 2 SES in the past (last one

blogging about twittering and twittering about blogging
Great list of pro and con articles and tools for twittering at SEO 2.0 blog: Twitter Dilemma: To Tweet or Not to Tweet? Pros, Cons, 50+ Links & Tools. I was late to the twitter party and I admit it can be a huge time waste. The best use I have found for it is

SEO Rapper on YouTube
This is why I love the interwebs: I totally agree, except I don’t get the part about the snicker. But that’s probably because I am not hip.

linkbuilding — white hat version
Recently, on my advice, our site turned down a submission for an article on link building. My gut reaction when asked about any article on link building is that is too much a gray area of SEO and we shouldn’t even open ourselves up to that. I admit to an invested interest here in keeping

New Yahoo — open search and Yahoo buzz
I hate to be negative about Yahoo. I like Yahoo. I still use their e-mail and I always include it in my list of “other search engines” when giving SEO best practices. Such as, “this will optimize your page for Google and other search engines like Yahoo.” And I do not want them to be

summarizing
One of the reasons I like twitter is the forced brevity. Having only 140 characters helps me focus what I want to say into small portions. I think of Twitter as a snack, while blogging is a meal. Maybe not always the most filling meal, but much more substantial than a tweet. But in theory,

getting on the OpenID bandwagon
Now that I have a better understanding of how it works, (thanks Turbotodd) I am all over this OpenID thing. Doesn’t hurt that all the big players are sigining on as well ( Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign and Yahoo! join OpenID Foundation Board.) Having one place to sign in and one account to maintain is
