Today, Barry over at SERoundtable commented that Yahoo! appears to be having some serious issues with how many results its linkdomain command displays. Like Barry, I decided to take a deeper look into the links Yahoo! recognizes to SEOmoz.org.
Here are some of the results:
1. Linkdomain:seomoz.org -site:seomoz.org - 13,700 2. Linkdomain:seomoz.org -site:threadwatch.org -site:seomoz.org -site:cre8pc.com -site:sma-na.org -site:v7n.com -site:realestatewebmasters.com -site:socengine.com -site:searchenginejournal.com -site:seochat.com - 736
As evidenced by the above, 8 sites are contributing a supposed 13,000 links - primarily through sitewides, signatures and blogrolls. |

Although logo design is one of my banes, people still occassionally request that we do it. Lucky for us, helpful sites like LogoYes are great for providing a complete logo at a low, low price, or providing inspiration, if nothing else.
The Flash application they've built is a tad on the slow side, but otherwise, it's a perfect use of the technology and a great way to get a good idea of common themes in an industry. Looking for a health+beauty logo, there's more than 150 concepts to choose from and dozens of specific logos inside each. Some poor graphic designer has probably blown his mind by now...
Don't forget - no stealing, just inspiration folks. They've got some serious copyright defense in place. |

An old idea of mine was to produce a wiki for SEO. Happily, someone else has taken on the project (as I really never got around to it). It's called Organic SEO and it's got a fairly good basic walkthrough of the principles of optimization already. I urge readers to hop on over, see if they can throw a few contributing paragraphs at the wiki, and watch it grow. It certainly would be nice to have our own SEO wikipedia that can answer beginning or even advanced questions with authority. |

The University of New South Wales' school of computer science and engineering has put together a search project that uses del.icio.us tags and a quality metric of the users to deliver search results based on pages that have been tagged at del.icio.us.
The project, Collaborative Rank, ranks users (taggers) by how often the tags they make are similiarly tagged by other users. This measurement is designed to give the best taggers greater input into the search results, helping to produce the most "relevant" search results.
This project is the first I've seen to use folksonomies to produce a real search engine of web pages. It's also a journey into a new realm of SEO, where generating interest and usefulness is more valuable than optimization and link building... either that or who can best spam del.icio.us. |

Over at Cre8asite forums, fast-pack asks the typical question of whether underscores (_) or dashes (-) make a big difference in SEO. Bill Slawski diverges from the pack to answer with some great advice about the usability of file names and later walks us through a Google patent application from Dec. of 2003.
The patent, Systems & Methods for Improving Search Quality discusses compound query terms, connected words, hyphenation, spacing, (mis)spellings and the ability of the search engine to recognize words and terms that may improperly connected or unconnected. Bill's review of that patent at Cre8 is superlative and I won't attempt to re-cover the important points he's made. |

For those who may need a public site to point their colleagues, friends or remaining disbelievers to for information about the sandbox, just use SEOmoz!
This site is now in the sandbox at Google for hundreds of terms that the old URL (socengine.com/seo) ranked in the top 3-5 results for. I've opened a sandbox thread at SEOChat for discusssion and questions. Hopefully it will help everyone learn a little more about this strange Google phenomenon. Note that in classic sandbox fashion, many of the listed results are simply blog entries or articles about the document at SEOmoz that they link to - making it even more amusing (specifically try white hat black hat search spam).
BTW - Google, if you're reading this, we deserve to be in the box - please do not remove us, it would spoil all the fun. |

Wit, a Dordrecht (Netherlands) based SEO has become the latest moderator at SEOChat. His dry humor and posting style, which is most similiar to waves from the ocean (nonstop, though they might ebb and flow), will be a welcome addition to the mod team at the forums. Stop by and drop him a line at the welcome Wit thread. |

Friday marked my one year anniversary since joining SEOChat and I opened a thank you thread to the community and many of the specific individuals who helped to shape my SEO/M knowledge. As I noted in the thread, although only my name appears here at SEOmoz, the contributors are really the entire community of SEOs from forums like SEOChat, Cre8asite & SEW. A big thanks to all of you. |

A great thread at SEW has blossomed into something truly remarkable, with more than 3 dozen members contributing information about their degrees and educational background. Folks range across the spectrum from English Literature to Math and Statistics to Music and Art. We'ver certainly got a diverse group in the SEM field, and I think that's a good thing. |
