When we first created custom alerts, we wanted to provide advertisers with a way to be notified when certain behaviors or changes occurred in their AdWords account. Over time, we observed that most advertisers wanted to take action when such triggers occurred within their accounts. Many of these actions can now be done by creating automated rules – a tool within AdWords that enables you to schedule automatic changes to specific parts of your account based on the criteria that you specify…

Every year, our annual summer customer conference, Mozcon, sells out to capacity, and this year is shaping up to be no different. In my opinion this is largely due to the speakers and the format. The content is among the best I see each year because the conference has developed a reputation as a forcing function for "upping one's game" on quality of tactics and presentation delivery…

In a followup to SMX West questions, Susan Moskwa noted on Google Plus the effective demise of GeoSitemaps:
Q: Why are my Geo Sitemaps throwing errors in Webmaster Tools?
A: Google has retired support for the Geo Sitemaps format. You can continue to submit your Geo content to us using the standard Sitemaps format (just listing the URL of the file(s), without-specific tags).
Kurt Maine - Susan, can you tell me exactly what you mean by “Google has retired support for the Geo Sitemaps format”?
Does this mean that KML files as a whole are no longer supported in any fashion, or are speaking to a completely different subject?

My, how time does fly! It seems like just yesterday we were rolling up our sleeves and steaming up the proverbial windows in Avinash Kashu’s opening keynote of Search Engine Strategies New York 2012, and now just three warp-speed days later, this year’s East coast installment of the SES conference series has come to a close. Oh, the bittersweetness! Fortunately, we can keep the memories alive by ritualistically pouring over pages upon pages of rockstar live coverage from around the Interwebz!
Feeling nostalgic for the wisdom of folks like Todd Freisen, Bryan Eisenberg, Dana Todd, Matt Van Wagner, Graywolf, Paul Madden, Lisa Williams, Eric Enge, and more? Fantasizing over the tips, tools, tactics and takeaways shared from the podium? (Didn’t get to go to the conference and want free access to all of the premium knowledge bombs dropped this week?) Then charge forth with this killer library of live coverage straight from #SESNY 2012! Light some candles, open a nice bottle of wine, cue up the swanky piano lounge music, and relive the magic, the madness, the majesty that is #SESNY 2012…
Are you attending Search Engine Strategies New York today? Don’t miss the Spotlight Session featuring Marty Weintraub, CEO & Founder of aimClear and author of “Killer Facebook Ads” (Wiley/Sybex) In the session, “Mining Deep Social Media Strategy From Search History,”@aimClear will show you how to leverage years of your company’s search marketing experience for fabulous social media tactical insights…
Whenever I go to conference, or at least a dozen times a week by email, I get asked what are some “SEO secrets” or hey what keywords do you rank for, and can you show me some of your websites. Until you have earned my trust I’m really not going to show you anything, I made that mistake and 3 months later saw a “clone” site from that person. It’s not that I’m a stuck up jerk and am not interested in helping people or paying it forward, because really I believe it’s a part of my role in the community…
Directory.Google.com is dead. All the links going to it and its associated URLs are broken.
Follow the process of broken link building and you could find yourself with some massively juicy links.
Step 1: Find links to relevant pages on directory.google.com in your favourite link research tool.
Step 2: Publish a directory page with links to relevant sites/pages, in replacement of Google’s equivalent page…
You're looking at my set of tools. The custom search engine helps me find the answers to questions more quickly. The RSS aggregator keeps me updated with industry news that matters. And, in the near future, I plan on documenting the major steps and considerations used in SEM as a check list (although it will also work well as a list of tutorials).
While I built (and am improving) the above tools for myself, it seemed like a waste to keep them to myself. After all, good will breeds good will, and perhaps you'll even help me find more great blogs to follow.
In the name of good karma, all my outgoing links on this site are followed. Treat others as you wish to be treated, right? Besides, I think the authors who we read daily deserve all the thanks (links) we can give.
I hope you find the SEM News feed and the free SEO search tool helpful.
