A few folks have been asking me why I haven’t updated Gonzo SEO in a while. The answer is quite simple, really. This blog doesn’t make me any money. I recently discussed my thoughts about not blogging anymore with Karl Ribas and Rae Hoffman. Ultimately those discussions (as well as a few great posts), have led me to the conclusion that I’m wasting time (a.k.a… Continue reading

I never would have thought that Toby Keith’s lyrics would have actually applied to real world issues. Funny how things like that happen, eh? Enough about country music (I know you all secretly love it), and onto my point.

About two weeks ago I wrote a heartfelt plea to the Internet marketing world to knock off the recent drama and nonsense that has been plaguing this industry. I… Continue reading

Just for the record, I am not being paid or influenced in any way to write this review. This is 100% honest feedback.

About two months ago I signed up for SEOmoz’s pro membership. I decided it would be very valuable to sign up for the membership for a couple of reasons:

• I was looking for a way to bounce new ideas that I had and see how I

There are a number of great keyword research tools out there (paid tools and free tools, too). Many times, however, I really wonder if I’m doing enough work to get into the mind of the customers.

The State of the SEO Industry Address

SEO isn’t a dying industry, it’s an evolving industry. I think that Greg and Shoemoney make good points, but I disagree with their overall impression of SEO’s future.

As we enter yet another summer season with talks of insanely high gas prices, I am forced to remind people that we don’t actually need to drive anywhere. You can do everything you need to do, right from your computer! The only reason people aren’t doing this now is because they aren’t used to doing it! Think I’m making it easier than it really is? Let’s take a… Continue reading

The awesome group over at LunaMetrics, has put together an awesome conference for anyone who is interested in getting a better understanding of Google Analytics and Google Website Optimizer. I can easily think of 5 great reasons why you should sign up now!

1. It will be a small conference setting, so you will get individual attention with the experts. This kind of attention is very rare

Websites are like people, there are billions of different people and websites, but you are able to group them together by similarities.
