How to Extend Your Blog and Promote Your Members with the MyBlogLog API

Friday, January 25th, 2008
We were lucky enough to get access to the MyBlogLog API (Web Service), which is currently part of an invite only beta. The API allows you to pull public information associated with your blog visitors and members and then integrate that data into a custom feature or service. We thought of several ways we could use this service, but settled on the creation of a “Blog Members” directory for our first project. The Blog Members directory was designed to showcase and promote all of the active MyBlogLog users that are members of the Raven Blog (via MyBlogLog). We also wanted to ...

8 Ways to Get Thousands of Blog Subscribers

Thursday, January 24th, 2008
Dosh Dosh, a quickly rising personality in the world of search marketing, recently posted a blog entry announcing over 10,000 subscribers. Dosh Dosh’s simple advice was to “Minimize noise. Maximize signal.” The blog entry listed eight (accidental?) strategies that were used to achieve this. They included: No Feedcount No Guest Posting No Contests/Projects No Advertising No Incentives No Guest bloggers No Digg frontpages No Frequent Posting One thing that I felt was missing from the list was “branding.” Dosh Dosh has excellent branding. From the name “Dosh Dosh” to the Japanese influenced anime girls, Dosh Dosh has built a strong and interesting brand. However, there are things in the list ...

Internet Marketing Ninjas and Their Value to SEO

Friday, January 4th, 2008
Three thousand dollars. Think about how much money that is. It’s a lot for anyone. Now think about what you would normally do with that money. Pay off debt, use it for a down payment on a car, make a couple of mortgage payments perhaps, possibly put it in your kid’s college fund or even a help pay for a family vacation. All of those would be worthwhile uses of your money. Now how about one year’s worth of exclusive access to SEO tools and access to seasoned search marketing gurus? I don’t know about you, but I can find an ...

A Fun Night at SEOmoz’s PubCon Werewolf Game

Thursday, December 6th, 2007
SEOmoz hosted a Werewolf game last night — with a twist. Instead of having Werewolves, they had Black Hats. They also renamed the game to Search Spam. The game was played with a special deck of cards. Each card represented either a White Hat or a Black Hat, along with two special cards. Those cards were the Gracious Granter of Re-inclusion (aka Danny Sullivan) and the Revealer of Hats (aka Matt Cutts — who was also there playing the game!). The rules are too tedious to explain here, but if you’re interested you can check them out at the Rules for ...

SEOposition Aggregates the Usual Suspects

Monday, November 26th, 2007
For those who don’t like to use RSS Aggregators — like NetNewsWire, Google Reader or Bloglines — but still like to keep track of the latest news, Feed Buzz is perfect for all things SEO. All of the usual suspects are there, like Wolf Howl, Bruce Clay and Matt Cutts. There’s also a few feeds from people who know SEO, but don’t necessarily make it their daily routine. A perfect example is incrediBILL’s feed, who spends a lot of his time as a bot crime fighter with his software, CrawlWall. Feed Buzz makes for a good SEO landing page that also ...
