A short month after I was bestowed the auspicious status of SEO-Chick, I finally got let out of my SEOmoz cage and am thus just now authoring my first post. (Sorry Lisa, it’s been a busy month at the MozQuarters. Please don’t abuse me in yet another one of your drunken stupors.) Anyway, one of the tasks I was busy with was putting together extensive site reviews for a couple of clients. One of the sections of the site review was an analytics overview, detailing what actions should be tracked, how to use your analytics, and specific action tracking recommendations. I’m sure a lot of you are rolling your eyes and thinking “You’ve got to be kidding me. This is [...]

Feckin’ Women’s Knickers! Girls! and SEO
With a name like SEO Chicks, I think it’s obvious that we’re trying to capitalize on being female in this industry. As some people have said, we’re not baby chickens. Sure some of them are blonde, like Lisa, but still… Here are three reasons why I think that’s completely okay (to capitalize on the girl thing, not to be blonde like baby chickens)… 1. We happen to be biologically female and therefore entitled to use that however we want or need to, even if it means that people envision us having tickle fights in cheerleading outfits once the conferences are over. For the record, that has only happened twice. 2. We’re currently a minority in this industry, even if that’s [...]
SEO Easy, A Caveman Can Do IT!
As you know, the Viking is still in Norway so I’m trying to keep things going while she’s gone…hence, my thoughts on what we can learn from the non-SEO world. And yes, I honestly am embarrassed by my own title. A few years ago, back when every IT firm didn’t have an SEO team and most people had no clue what search engine optimization was all about, pop culture was not at the forefront of the SEO mindset. Many people, much like myself, were coming into the field from backgrounds in programming, database administration, and site design. I could not have pointed out a single SEO who didn’t know how to at least code html. Now, however, the field has [...]

Link Love from del.icio.us?
Perusing webmaster tools, as I am wont to do of a lunch hour, I noticed that del.icio.us seems to be giving us some links love. Now, as loved as the B2B marketing, advertising and design site I work for is, it does not tend to attract del.icio.us bookmarks. Imagine my joy on finding out that while they may not pass on much juice, there is love flowing from that piece of the Yahoo! pie. While the thoughts started spinning through my mind about using all those del.icio.us accounts I had for some good (because I forgot my passwords… errrr… ya…), I had to step back and think for a moment – surely Google won’t be passing along much juice from [...]
May the force be with me =)
I’m going for a long needed holiday tomorrow, back home to Norway, . I feel like I’ve been running around like a headless chicken for the last few weeks =) Time for some relaxing, my mothers cooking, my steph fathers hilarious rants after a glass of whiskey and of course as it is Norway – the land of the midnight sun, alot of daylight! Sweet! So I probably won’t be blogging much for the next week, but will be back all refreshed and ready to blog like a father mocker =) Ps: the photo was taken in a gadget shop in Seattle, we stayed in there for so long mocking around with the lightsabers I’m suprised we didn’t get thrown [...]
