Keyword Research, Aurora Snow, and Tony Snow

First Snow of the Season, Keyword Research, and Tony Snow

Well we are getting our first snow of the season and I wanted to share a picture of our Koi pond and some snow related keywords I have found. I know my picture isn’t even considered one of the classic Christmas snow scenes but…

When I deciding on a title for this post I figured I would do a little keyword research with NicheBot. Check out one of my earlier posts Keywords the Key to SEO! What are your keywords? for more details. Here are the snow keyword stats I came up with.

The expert can cut the time down for the interpretation of this information in to an easily handle-able block of time.

SMX Advanced | SEOmoz | Black Hat vs White Hat

Oh no! Not another report from SMX Advanced in Seattle, June ’08. Everyone else reported on the sessions and Amplify-Interactive has a very good detailed one! I have decided to report on the Expo Hall.
No Black Hats SEOPDX White Hat of Gary Pool
As I walked through the paths in the expo hall during the rush of the lunch break I couldn’t help but wonder “what goes on at these booths while we are supposed to be learning all these black hat techniques?” I actually made my way through each and every booth.
