    Webcology Year In Review

    For those interested in what some of the top minds of SEO, SEM, Mobile Marketing and Social Media have to say about 2011 and maybe more importantly – what they see coming in 2012 then Thursday’s Webcology is a must listen.  Hosted on WebmasterRadio.fm, Jim Hedger and I will be hosting 2 separate round-tables with 5 guests each over 2 hours covering everything from Panda to personalization; mobile growth to patent applications.  It’s going to be a fast-paced show with something for everyone.

    The show will be airing live from 2PM EST until 4PM EST on Thursday December 22nd.  If you catch it live you’ll have a chance to join the chat room and ask questions of your own but if you miss it you still have an opportunity to download the podcast a couple days later.  I don’t often focus this blog on promoting the radio show I co-host but with the lineup we have including SEOmoz’s Rand Fishkin, Search Engine Watch’s Jonathan Allen and Mike Grehan, search engine patent guru Bill Slawski and many more talented and entertaining Internet Marketing experts it’s definitely worth letting our valued blog visitors know about it. And if you’re worried it might just be a quiet discussion, Terry Van Horne is joining us to insure that doesn’t happen.  Perhaps I’ll ask him a question or two about his feelings about Schema.org (if you listen to the show … you’ll quickly get why this is funny). :)

    So tune in tomorrow at 2PM EST at http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/webcology/, be sure to join the chat room to let us know your thoughts and enjoy.

    Twitter Hack & Net Neutrality

    Today Jim Hedger and I hosted Webcology on WebmasterRadio.fm. Every week we have a great time covering the latest happenings in the search engine and search marketing world but today, rather than amicably discussing the issues – we battled it out over Net Neutrality.

    Net Neutrality is a subject that both Jim and I have enjoyed debating over the years. We first did so in front of an audience back at SES San Jose 2008. Jim takes the pro-Net Neutrality side and I take the anti-net neutrality side of the debate. In truth – both of us fall somewhere in the middle but a debate is sure a lot more entertaining to watch than two fence sitters discussing their ambiguous feelings. :)

    When I first entered the debate I was pro-Net Neutrality. Now I tend to lean towards an anti-Net Neutrality perspective but with an understanding of the need for consumer protection. The same consumer protection that exists currently and seems to be doing a fine job.

    You can listen to the argument by downloading the podcast from the Webmaster Radio site at http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/webcology/2009/fcc-backs-net-neutrality/.

    We also discussed the hacking of Jim’s Twitter account and how to safeguard your information. Seriously – if it can happen to Jim, a 13 year veteran on the Internet, then it can happen to anyone.

    For those of you who head over to the show – enjoy and be sure to listen next Thursday at 2PM EST (11AM Pacific) for another great show. We might even have a great guest or two. :)

    SMX Advanced

    I’ve been waiting excitedly for SMX Advanced for the past few months and finally the date is almost upon us. For those of you not registered to attend, I believe there are still 5 or 10 spots left. This is easily one of the best shows for those experienced in SEO and Internet Marketing.

    For those of you who won’t be able to attend – be sure to watch our blog next week. We’ll be posting often on the sessions. In fact, I’m there as press. Also, I’ll be grabbing many great interviews for Webmaster Radio and will be doing a show summary on next week’s episode of Webcology on WebmasterRadio.fm from 2 to 3 EST on Thursday.

    If you will be there – be sure to stop me (or Daryl from Beanstalk who will also be there) and say hi. It’s always great to meet our site and blog visitors. :)

    Dave Forgot To Post …

    I forgot to put up a blog post yesterday announcing the release of the two latest articles by Beanstalk. Written by yours truly the articles cover article writing as a link building tactic (and they’re good for our blog readers too :) and another article on how to make your Internet company eco-friendly through reduction and carbon offsetting.

    You can find the article on our site at:

    I hope that you enjoy them. Stay tuned, we’ve got more coming up next week.

    And as a reminder, my weekly radio show on Webmaster Radio airs today from 2PM EST until 3. It looks to be a good show so be sure to tune in at WebmasterRadio.fm.

    Net Neutrality article

    Today on Webcology (a show hosted by Jim Hedger and myself on WebmasterRadio.fm every Thursday at 2PM EST) Jim and I discussed the issue of net neutrality legislation with SaveTheInternet’s Timothy Carr.

    Jim and I had the pleasure of having Timothy on our show previously and it was great to have him on again. When we first had hom on the show both Jim and I were solidly in the net neutrality camp. When I was invited to speak at SES San Jose last week Jim and I took opposing sides in what turned into a debate on the issue. After doing a ton of research into it I found my leaning towards the anti-net neutrality side and so it was a great show with some tough questions and some enlightening info from Tim.

    Of course, a lot of you reading this are wondering what a ton of people at the conference were wondering … What In The World Is Net Neutrality ?!!?

    To answer this questions I spent a few days and wrote an article answering just that.

    The article, titled “What In The World Is Net Neutrality?” is (in my opinion at least) a good read to understand the core of the issue but I would highly recommend to educate yourself further. There are links in the article to some great resources and of course, you can listen to the Webmaster Radio podcast here.

    Off To SES San Jose

    Once again I’ve been given the great opportunity to speak at SES San Jose. This SES is by far my favorite. New York is great, don’t get me wrong but there’s something about being a geek in Silicon Valley that’s just awesome.

    This year I’ll be speaking on an extremely important topic and that’s Net Neutrality. And best of all, I’ll be on stage with my WebmasterRadio.fm co-host Jim Hedger from Metamend and being moderated by the lovely Cindy Krum from Blue Moon Works. You can read more about the session here (Note: link removed as the page no longer exists).

    On top of that I’ll be meeting up with two very interesting clients and having a meeting with Richard Stokes from AdGooroo. Hopefully I can sneak an interview with him in there.

    I hope to see many of you there. If you are – feel free to say hi. if I’m at the Google Dance – you might have to say “hi” again the next day. ;)

    Google Keywords & A Test Of Links & Webmaster Radio

    Google Keywords

    Google has just started showing the estimated monthly search numbers in their keyword suggestion tool. For the first time in a long while we’re now able to see the estimated search numbers on the engine who’s results we most want to see the results of.

    As a word of warning, after using it and comparing the numbers with the click through volume for a number of phrases, the number appear to be a bit high – that’s because it defaults to Broad Match but you can select Exact Match from the drop-down and get the the numbers you’re looking for.

    You’ll find this new feature added to the Google tool here.

    A Test Of Links

    Also, there was an interesting test run by Johannes Beusand published on the MarketingFan.com site regarding the value of multiple links to a single page on residing on a single page of a website. He basically strives to answer the question, if there are two or more links on a single page of a site and they point to a single page on another site – how are they treated?

    I’m not going to be mean and note everything from the site here and steal their traffic. :) You’ll find the link to this interesting test here.

    Webmaster Radio

    And today on Webmaster Radio Jim Hedger and I had the pleasure of interviewing Kevin Ryan – the man behind SES. Kevin discussed the show, the organizing of it, and some of the great sessions that’ll be held in San Jose.

    After that (and some ranting by both Jim and myself about the stupid fees we Canadians are charged for cell phones and specifically web usage on them) we had on Dave Szetela from Clix Marketing discussing the recent changes Google has made to the quality scores for it’s AdWords advertisers.

    Again, I could repeat the discussion but it was based on a couple posts covered elsewhere here and here.
