Share An SEO’s best friend (other than a stiff drink) is a good tool. Tools save us time and energy and streamline the process so we can get to making money instead of researching. They provide the information you need when you need it. But it is important to remember that knowing when to use a particular tool and how to use it is more important than any list. This is why I’ve created Yoda’s ultimate tool to put all the tools one would need in 1 place. Since this list is too massive to fit in one post, it will be a multi-part list that will cover: Competitive Research, Keyword Research, Must have Firefox plug-ins, Reputation Management tools, PPC [...]

They scare me so badly that I have nightmares about them maybe once a week. [...]
SES London 2008 – Sessions ‘n’ Stuff
Share The 2008 edition of SES London was a refreshing change from the previous year. Not only did it start better for me with no unwanted groping, the initial session really set the tone for the rest of the conference – fun and different.
