Ryan’s Radar Jan 11 ‘07
I’m going to start off with something light today.
- Shawn Hogan showed a snapshot of an IRS tax doc that says if you steal something during the course of the year, you need to pay tax on it…what will the government think of next? Does that not make them complicit?
- Phil Bradley reviews the Zula meta search engine: [Search Engine Land]. Nothing real exciting about there.
- Danny talks about the tired debate of whether or not SEO is overrated: [Search Engine Land]. He does a good job summarizing the debate. Get over there and read it.
- Matt talks about an infrastructure update at the big G: [Matt Cutts Blog]. One takeaway from his post. Sites go supplemental because of a lack of pagerank. Give ‘em a link from your index and you can avoid the supplemental curse.
- eBay buys StubHub for a cool $310 million: [The Next Net]. Very interesting. Looks like they decided they couldn’t beat them head to head so they decided to buy them. Very nice pick up in my opinion.
- ABC shut down a blogger that was criticizing a radio personality and encouraging a boycott: [Media Matters]. Shame on you ABC. Maybe I’ll encourage a boycott of ABC, you going to send me a cease & desist?
- New features at Keyword Discovery: [Search Rank]. Includes support for returning plurals when you search for singular and singular when you search on plurals. Trellian has done a great job with Keyword Discovery. They are definitely my choice for keyword research. A tool you can’t do without, plain and simple.
- Microsoft Live Analytics: [Search Engine Watch]. Honestly I haven’t been over to SEW much since the mass exodus. That aside, the SEW crew runs down citings of Microsoft’s new free analytics program in the wild.
- Social Media Can Build Your Email List: [Proactive]. Sally talks about how effective social media can be in building an email list. Some great tips for anybody trying to build an email list.
