Google Predictions Video by Matt Cutts

On January 27, 2010, In SEO, by Nick Stamoulis

Matt Cutts, the voice of Google search makes some interesting predictions for 2010 about websites in general along with Google search and what we can all expect to see during this year. One of Matt’s biggest concerns will be website safety and security. Matt Cutts expects to see much more hacking type activities occurring in 2010 and recommends that everybody has the most up to date security features on their websites so that nobody gets their fingers on your websites and do any harmful activities that could affect your livelihood. 2009 saw an uptick in websites getting hacked from a variety of new and strange sources and he expect this trend to increase for 2010. Don’t wait to secure your website when you get hit because the reactive costs could be much higher than just taking a proactive stance now.

Here is the Google Search Predictions Video by Matt Cutts:

Predictions for Google stem mostly around speed and relevancy. Google is always on the prowl to really keep their search results clean and relevant so users are completely satisfied with the end results. Google will also be making the distinction between black hat and white techniques much clearer and really focusing on eliminating anybody who attempts to take a black hat technique when marketing a website. Google is always strengthening and improving their search tool. It seems like each year Google makes a very strong effort to eliminate all the bad apples in the SEO industry. If you teeter on black and white hat SEO techniques I would make it a 2010 new year’s resolution to persuade yourself to land in the white hat territory. Yes, it takes longer, but when it works it is well worth the wait!

Don’t Forget The Small Stuff This Year

On January 23, 2010, In SEO, Web Design Tips, by Melissa Scroggins

Whether a designer, developer, blogger, or freelancer, you surely have a to-do list on which certain items slowly inch their way down. These forgotten items add up fast! Think of all the items that you’ve discarded from your to-do list to save time. Even more frightening, what items might you have overlooked to meet a deadline? What have you left on the proverbial cutting-room floor yet again?

What better time than the new year, or new decade for that matter, to tackle your neglected checklist? In this article, we’ll look at some commonly overlooked items on a typical checklist (in no particular order). Some are new, some are commonsense and some are not so minor and ought never to be forgotten. So, let’s get started in this young year by striking off some items from your to-do list!

Update The Copyright Date

2009 2010

That’s right, it’s time to update the copyright year on your websites from <old date> – 2009 to <old date> – 2010. If you come across websites that show copyright dates as far back as 2003, the first word that pops to mind is “outdated.” Perhaps these websites have been kept up to date and only the copyright year has been neglected? Or perhaps the website really hasn’t been updated since 2003. Uh oh. This is not the first impression you want to give potential clients. After all, clients want to hire people who notice these things. What message does your footer send from below?

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/copyright.png" width="500" alt="Copyright in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

Here are just a few of the places you might need to change the copyright date:

Website (all pages);
Watermark (if you use the year);
Footer (such as on your blog);
Templates (blog, wireframing, frameworks, email templates, etc.);
Readme files.

Résumé Refresh

Double-Check Everything

If you haven’t looked at your résumé (or curriculum vitae) in a while, now might be the time to do so. Even if you’ve been working steadily, you never know when you’ll need to submit your CV for that dream job that comes along.

This is a good time to make sure your listing of work experience is current. What new projects and clients have you taken on in the last year? Make sure your contact information is up to date, too. Has your area code changed? Have you switched cell phone numbers or moved? Double-check your zip code because some zip codes change occasionally.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/resume.png" width="500" alt="Resume in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

Double-check every detail on your resume or CV. Employers frown on inaccurate contact info. Also, check the references that you’ve provided. Are the emails and contact info still valid? Would current employers be willing to act as references? Now is the time to make those changes so that you stay prepared in the market.

Double-check the following items on your résumé or CV:

Home address,
Zip code,
Telephone number,
Area code,
Degrees earned,
Certificates,
Awards,
Recent jobs,
Recent projects,
New contracts,
Contact info for references.

Spell-Check

Spelling Kounts Counts

Sometimes you’re in such a rush that spell-checking is the last thing on your mind. Then again, most word-processing programs, email applications and website editors have automatic spell-checkers built right in. Most everyone relies on these programs to catch spelling mistakes. However, occasional slip-ups occur. You’ll often find “there” when “their” is correct, or “weather” when “whether” is intended.

Programs don’t pick up on such discrepancies. But people do. What kind of people? Potential clients and your peers. First impressions count, and poor spelling irks many people. You don’t want to irk someone because you left an “l” out of the word “professionally” on the front page of your website. (Guess who did that?)

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/spelling.png" width="500" alt="Spelling in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

A good way to manually spell check a website is to read the content in reverse and out loud to yourself. Start from the footer. Then spell check the actual website code. Don’t skip a sub-page that you think is irrelevant. Every little mistake you find is one less mistake that someone else will.

Spell-Check Your Website

Outstanding Invoices

Get Paid

If you haven’t already done so, look at your invoices. Have you not yet sent some invoices? You deserve to be paid for your services. You’re not being pushy, just professional. So, don’t put off sending an invoice.

If you’re lucky, your client will remind you to send one. But this is the exception, and you’d be wise to hold on dearly to such clients. Most clients won’t bend over backwards to pay you in a timely fashion. Take the initiative. Be assertive. Often the client simply forgot about the invoice once the project was completed and would be more than happy to pay in full right away.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/invoice.png" width="500" alt="Invoice in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

What if you’ve already sent an invoice but haven’t been paid? Perhaps you forgot about an outstanding invoice from last year. No problem. Resend the invoice now. The client would most likely be happy to clear their books. Either way, you’ll hear an update on the situation.

Monitor Social Networks

Pay Attention to What You Type

Social networking is all the rage, and you’ve jumped in head first. You’ve signed up with Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, to name a few. However, have you really examined your online presence? Take a moment to review your last 10 comments or posts on each social networking website that you are active on:

href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter,
href="http://www.friendster.com/">Friendster,
href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook,
href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube,
href="http://www.myspace.com/">MySpace,
href="http://www.ning.com/">Ning.

Do you see any comments that a potential client might find offensive? Clients aren’t likely to peruse your history of Twitter comments, but what if they did? The Delete key is your friend. However, deleting doesn’t erase the search engine cache of your updates. What seems funny and off-hand could turn clients away.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/socialnetwork.png" width="500" alt="Socialnetwork in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

For instance, were you ever unhappy with a client and decided in the wee hours that 140 nasty profanity-laden characters were in store? Have you ever trash-talked a current or past client? Now, imagine a potential client reading that and how they would feel about working with you. Sure, being judged by your online comments isn’t always fair, but it happens.

Freedom of speech is great, but if your social networking accounts are linked to your business website, take heed. The comments you make on websites such as YouTube, Facebook and MySpace could come back to haunt your and your business’ reputation. Just as social networks are a great way to stay connected and to network, they are also an easy way to gather personal and professional information about you. Stay informed and be aware that even an off-hand Facebook Wall comment can have a big impact.

Avatars and Photos

Take a moment to review your avatar or href="http://www.gravatar.com">Gravatar on social networking websites. Perhaps it’s time to update your photo to reflect your current hairstyle or image. If you want to project a professional image, a wacky avatar might not be the right choice. Then again, you would get noticed, in which case your comments would stand out even more to potential clients.

Social Profiles and Bios

Your bio on social networks might need updating, too. Check for any changes in your job title, interests or availability are reflected. Keep your profiles and bios current to reflect your business activity. That little extra detail makes you shine.

Don’t Forget to Talk to People

Don’t rely solely on Twitter and your blog. Monitor the original social networking tool: the telephone. Have you kept in contact with past clients? Now would be a good time to reach out and speak with them. Maintaining your social contacts is essential to keeping the door open to future projects.

Back Up Your Work

Stop, Drop and Back Up Now!

Stop. Drop what you’re doing. Back up your work right now. Data loss can happen at any moment. Did you put 40 hours into a website last week and didn’t back up any of that hard work? Perhaps you have thousands of photographs stored on your computer? Those raw images, along with potential profits, are toast if anything goes wrong.

When was the last time you backed up your hard drive? Last week? Last month? Can’t remember? Uh oh. Time to back up now. Use a pen drive, CDs, DVDs, external hard drive or online storage website—just back up regularly. Your work changes daily: you send and receive email, add bookmarks, upload photographs and scan images. You have a lot to lose.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/backup.png" width="500" alt="Backup in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

Backing up is only part of it. You also need to be able to restore your computer in the event of complete data loss. Look into bootable backups for peace of mind, and avoid devastation by backing up your work. Make it a top priority and not an afterthought.

Also, check your surge protector. Silly as it sounds, many people forget about their surge protectors. Like smoke detectors, this is a safety concern. The time of year when we turn our clocks back for daylight savings in the US also serves as a reminder to replace our smoke detector batteries. Perhaps the new year should be a reminder to check our surge protectors.

Have you checked your surge protector? Or better yet, do you own one? A surge protector protects your computer from voltage spikes in the electrical system. Not all power strips are surge protectors, so make sure yours will protect your electronics. Make sure the components are in good working order and functioning properly. If your drive is fried in a storm, what good is the data backed up on the external drive?

Update Your Portfolio

You probably have a portfolio of your work online. But is it up to date? Have you added current projects to the queue? The new year is a great time to add recent samples of your work to your portfolio. If you haven’t done any recent work or can’t show certain projects because of a non-disclosure agreement, then just showcase some of your personal projects to show off your current skills. Your online presence is defined partly by the work you present.

Visit your portfolio in the mindset of a prospective client. Are your images large, high quality and clear? Do the images reflect your current set of skills? Would you hire yourself based on what you see? If you haven’t done so already, check the spelling of project titles, client names and companies.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/portfolio.png" width="500" alt="Portfolio in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

Be honest: are you one of those people who go a little overboard with their portfolio? Do clients have to click through 15 pages to see the scope of your work? Do visitors have to wait for 100 images to load to view your graphic design portfolio? Now might be the time to trim your portfolio. Sometimes having a few high-quality examples is better than having many of inferior quality. Let the portfolio shine without the clutter.

Test Your Contact Form

Can Visitors Reach You Online?

When was the last time you checked the contact form on your website? Once the contact form is implemented, it is often neglected. Perhaps you have been losing potential clients because they have been unable to get in touch with you. Take action now by double-checking how visitors can reach you online.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/contactform.png" width="500" alt="Contactform in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

First of all, is it easy to find your contact form? Could a visitor find the contact form from the “About us,” “Services” and even “Contact us” pages. Surprisingly, many people forget to include a working link or contact form on their own contact page. Try sending yourself a message. Did it work? If not, the problem could be the email address, the code, the CAPTCHA code or the “Send” button itself.

Catch Up On Email

Open, Read and Reply. Repeat.

Don’t let those unread emails pile up again this year. Attack your emails in a timely fashion, and develop a habit that pay dividends over the course of the year. Clients will see that you’re on top of things and that projects are running more smoothly, and you’ll be happier knowing you don’t have over 60 emails waiting to be addressed. Procrastinating doesn’t help. Open, read and reply to your emails.

Update Your Signature

This is also the perfect time to update your email signature. Check the address, phone number and links listed in your signature. Are they current? Make sure the links are active, working and relevant. Perhaps freshen up your signature with a new quote or proverb.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/emails.png" width="500" alt="Emails in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

Check the Spam Filter and Junk Mail Folder

As time passes, we can easily forget to check the settings in our email program. See whether the reason you’ve been receiving a ton of spam is because your spam filter has been turned off. Also, sometimes email is dumped into the junk mail folder by accident. Check to see if any important emails have ended up there.

Clean-Up Time

What Dirty Little Secrets Is Your Keyboard Hiding?

Like to drink coffee? You could very well have spilled some on your keyboard, and because it was miniscule, you just forgot about it after a quick swipe with a cloth. A drop or two doesn’t hurt, right? What about that morning bagel? Or those pesky granola crumbs? Yes, you may not see the mess, but the grunge is there, hiding in the nooks of your keyboard. Sure, a few crumbs won’t hurt, but the build-up will. But a silicone cover catches everything, you say? Wrong. Lift the cover off the keyboard and witness the fluff that has crawled in there.

How long ago did you clean your keyboard? That’s the question. It’s never too soon to clean it. If it’s sticky, it’s been way too long. Not only can grime build up, but so can germs. Bacteria. Cross-contamination can occur. Just a few minutes cleaning those keys could prevent a common cold or worse. While you’re at it, you might want to give that mouse a good cleaning, too.

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dirtykeyboard.png" width="500" alt="Dirtykeyboard in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

What’s Cluttering Your Desktop?

Do you have too many files on your desktop? This visual clutter might be distracting you, causing you frustration and, in the long run, costing you time and money. The time it takes to find a file on your hard drive or your desk is time taken away from a project.

Here are a few ideas to de-clutter your virtual and real spaces:

Organize your desktop files;
Put away the files on your actual desk (no loose papers);
Change your desktop wallpaper;
Remove accessories from your desk (keep it minimal);
Hide or bundle electrical cords;
Add keywords to files and photos;
Label files and folders;
Fix those broken items to make them usable (or throw them out).

Accomplishing just a few of these things will make your workspace more inviting and save you time later on.

Save

Be Safe: Save

Finally, learn to save as you go. Whether writing, blogging, coding or designing, saving as you go is always safer. You never think of it until it’s too late. You don’t want to find yourself scouring forums looking for a thread titled “Is there any way to recover six hours spent on my Adobe Photoshop file.”

src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/save.png" width="500" alt="Save in Dont Forget The Small Stuff This Year" />

The answer is to save as you go. Make saving a habit. Learn the “Save” shortcut for the programs you use. In Adobe Illustrator, Command + S saves a file. Do this after every layer, paragraph and so on and you’ll save yourself time and heartache.

Resolutions

Have you got new year’s resolutions? Perhaps you want to start keeping your desk uncluttered or backing up your work every other day. Now is the time to integrate these tasks into your routine. By doing so, you’ll cultivate good habits over the year. Start slowly, one little goal at a time. Tackling too many resolutions will overwhelm you. Accomplishing one little resolution over the course of the year is wiser. As they say, the little things add up!

In Conclusion

There you go. We surely could have added more things to this list. Did an item here jog your memory? What little things do you put on the back-burner and then forget about? Feel free to share some of your to-do’s to help the rest of us out. This way, by next year, everyone’s list will be a lot shorter!

Yahoo Search Advertisers Rejoice Over New Network Distribution Feature

On January 21, 2010, In SEO, by rustybrick

Ever since Yahoo launched their new search marketing platform in 2006, advertisers wanted more control of where their ads were showing.

Yesterday, Yahoo launched a feature named Network Distribution that gives advertisers that control. I wrote up a detailed analysis of the new feature about a week ago at Search Engine Land. Here is a copy of that:

The network distribution settings can be found in a couple places, such as under campaign settings. When you go to those settings, you will see the “Network Distribution” settings above the targeting settings. When you click on that it breaks out the options by content and search networks, in addition to breaking it out by the entire network versus Yahoo Search or Yahoo Partners only. It will also show you the past 30 days of campaign activity based on those sections, to see how many clicks, impressions and costs were associated to those areas. From that screen you can adjust your bid, plus or minus, a specific percentage for each area.

Here is a video from the YSM Blog explaining it a bit more visually:

Threads at DigitalPoint Forums & WebmasterWorld seem to be very happy with this addition. One person said:

This really makes my day.

10 Professional Development Tips to Boost Your SEO Career

On January 17, 2010, In SEO, by Tom_C

Posted by Tom_C

So it’s a new year (doesn’t 2010 feel like the future?!) and it’s a new you. As Pete blogged last week plenty of new year’s resolutions are being set. For many this may involve getting a better or job or getting paid more money. This post is for you. Hopefully by the time you’ve read this post you’ll have some ideas to turbocharge your career.

First, I present you with a brief personal history. There was some interest in reading this on twitter so hopefully it’s useful to you.

How I Became Head of Search at Distilled

I started out a few years ago stuck in a pretty mundane job working as a project manager. Actually, I wasn’t even a project manager I was a project assistant. My alternative job title may as well have been project manager’s tea-boy. It was reasonably well paid but mentally about as stimulating as being punched in the eye.

About this time Will & Duncan were just setting up the company that would eventually become Distilled and obviously Will was raving to me about this thing called the internet. Believing this to be the future, I decided to get a job working for the internet.

Account Executive is a good entry level job for those wanting to get into SEO.

At this time, I didn’t really have any internet skills except hanging out in forums and playing poker online. Thankfully that seemed to be enough for me to get a job as a Digital Account Executive at a digital agency. This role involved doing account management for both web build projects but also SEO and PPC projects. Although I wasn’t actually doing any SEO, speaking to clients every day about their SEO and PPC campaigns quickly got me interested in what SEO was and how one did it. As I’m sure a lot of you can relate to, once bitten by the SEO bug there was no turning back. I started reading SEOmoz and other blogs and, if I’m honest, got a little bit obsessed.

This was a good thing for the company I was working for however as I started actively becoming involved in running the SEO projects for some quite big name clients. This was fun but ultimately I was still doing a fair amount of account management and my aim was to concentrate on doing SEO so I started looking around. By this time Distilled had taken shape, Will and Duncan had hired their first employee and had even got themselves some nice offices so it was (with hindsight) quite a natural time for them to start think about offering SEO. I jumped ship from my old agency and came to work for Distilled. Tally ho!

Now, technically, at this point I became Head of Search for Distilled, but with only 4 employees and a handful of small clients this wasn’t really too much to brag about. Still, I was able to immerse myself in SEO which was what I wanted and I was enjoying myself.

There was still much to learn at this stage – and although my job title hasn’t changed over the years my job role has changed quite dramatically and I feel like I’ve actually had several different jobs at Distilled as my role has evolved.

As Distilled grew up we hired Rob and Lucy to be SEOs alongside myself. Along with a little bit of hands-on work from Will and Duncan we functioned well as a close-knit team and we all managed our own SEO projects within Distilled, working together but as a pretty flat team. At this point, my

Although my job title hasn’t changed my role has changed several times since I’ve been working at Distilled.

role as "Head of SEO" didn’t involve doing anything much different from Rob and Lucy. That said, the whole company was growing and we started to get on board bigger clients and do more consulting rather than just hands-on SEO for small businesses. This naturally involved more formal reporting, delivering client-side training sessions and putting together high-level reports that our clients could take to their board to influence decisions regarding their online strategy. Good times. Around this time I started to attend a few industry conferences and shortly after I started speaking at industry conferences.

So already my role has changed from managing small-time SEO projects to doing consulting for large companies. Recently, my role has changed again within Distilled – we’ve hired some more staff for our SEO team and I’ve started spending more time on managing a team as well as doing hands-on SEO and consulting.

Anyway, that’s my (far too long) personal story. Hopefully it’s helpful to get a glimpse at how to make the progression within this industry. Although I’ve been lucky that Distilled has provided a new role for me at every step of my career I could easily have taken those 3 separate roles within different companies.

10 Tips To Boost Your SEO Career

And now, without further ado, I present my 10 tips for professional development within the SEO industry. Note that I’m assuming you’re already working in SEO at some level. If you’re not, then I suggest you read Danny’s posts on learning SEO.

While you’re reading through this list you might want to motivate yourself by reminding yourself what you can earn at different job levels within the SEO indsutry.

1) Get Qualified

Although I’m not a huge fan of qualifications generally and certainly in the SEO industry they’re few and far between, but nevertheless – getting either GAIQ or Adwords qualified will look good on a CV and give you some valuable skills. Not to mention they’re pretty easy and cheap so totally learnable in your spare time!

2) Learn Some Secondary Skills

SEO, or more broadly internet marketing, covers such a wide range of topics, skills and industries that it never hurts to have more strings to your bow than just linkbuilding. Try teaching yourself some PHP or CSS. I recently learned a few CSS bits and pieces and they come in handy for styling blog posts (Rob gives a good intro to learning CSS for styling blog posts here).

A side project is a great way of polishing up all your secondary skills, in fact a side project looks great on a CV too as Judith demonstrates here: if your SEO is not moonlighting, fire them.

3) Craft a Kick-Ass CV

When thinking about applying for a job it’s crucial to create an astounding CV, but SEO doesn’t offer too many transferable skills does it? Think again. Instead of putting things like "linkbuilding" on your CV, take a look at Rand’s post on skills that have served him well. All those skills would stand out on a CV. Also worth taking a look at is Rand’s whiteboard friday on how to get an SEO job.

4) Do Some Agency Time

If you’re working in-house then that’s great and I’m in no way trying to suggest that SEOs who work at agencies are better at SEO. But, it has to be said that working agency side you get to work on many more industries than you would otherwise. You can work on news websites, ecommerce websites, lead gen websites and a whole lot more! Getting experience working on a broad range of sites can really help make sure you’re up to speed on all the different niches of SEO – whether it’s local, image search, video search or product search.

On the flip-side, if you’re working agency side then consider working in-house for a bit. You’ll get experience in reporting to a board as well as having to experience first-hand the challenges of getting buy-in from other departments. All useful experience.

5) Immerse Yourself in Excel

I’ve raved about Excel a lot in the past so I won’t do so again here. That said, there are two crucial skills that will help you get a better job and Excel can help both of them. They are reporting and data analysis. Reporting is essential whether you’re working at an agency and need to report to clients or are working in-house and need to report to a board or your boss. Data analysis is essential to ensure that your report is always positive (I’m only half joking here…!).

In summary, if you don’t know how to put graphs and charts into your reports then you won’t get very far, as this chart shows:

6) Present At A Conference

Presenting at conferences is good for so many different reasons. Networking, making friends, having fun, experience in public speaking etc etc. I really love speaking at conferences and you should too. Having it on your CV can really make you look like an expert. And actually speaking is easy – just watch out for the speaker submission forms at SES, SMX, Adtech and all the rest of the conferences and come up with an appealing pitch.

If that’s too daunting, then consider speaking at a smaller conference. I spoke at the first ThinkVisibility in the UK last year and it was only small but lots of fun. This year I’m speaking again and it’s going to be a fair size bigger! How did I get to speak? Simple, I saw Dom twitter about wanting speakers for his conference and sent him a DM. If you apply yourself it’s that simple.

Once you’ve been accepted to speak you’ll want to take a look at these presentation skills for SEO.

7) Make Friends (aka Networking)

Networking used to be something I hated doing. The idea of making small talk with others in your industry filled me with dread. Then I realised what an awesome bunch of people the SEO industry is and decided that actually it was fun to hang around them, swap emails, twitter etc etc and before I knew it I was networking. So get involved in the local SEO scene wherever you are. In London, that means getting yourself down to LondonSEO. By networking you’ll get to know who’s hiring, and more importantly whether they’re worth working for!

If you want to network slightly more officially then check out LinkedIn – you’ll be able to see upcoming job opportunities as well as raising your personal profile. Which brings me neatly to:

Build A Personal Brand

Building a personal brand is essential to getting a decent job, especially in the SEO industry. This xkcd sums it perfectly. There’s some great blog posts on this topic:

WBF – building a personal brand
The Layman’s Personal Branding Platform
SEO Tips for Building Your Personal Brand
The Ever-Snarky Rebecca Kelly’s Personal Branding + Networking = Job

In summary, get twittering and blogging with a username that’s recognisable and consistent.

9) Get Some Management Experience

Here’s where you might want to take your career to the next level. If you’re looking at trying to transition from an SEO consultant to someone who manages a team you’ll need to get some management experience. If there’s no opportunity for managing a team where you are right now then a great way to get a bit of experience is to get an intern. It’s an easy sell to your boss since you don’t need to pay them and it can look great on your CV.

For anyone who’s looking to try and up their game as an SEO manager then these two posts from Rich Baxter are essential reading:

10) Add More ROI To Every Project You Work On

As the internet grows and as the industry evolves we’re all moving towards becoming "online marketers" rather than just "SEO"s. Many of the skills that we know and love from SEO are applicable to other areas that can bring a client ROI. Two classic examples are email marketing and conversion rate optimisation. Get proficient at both of these and you’ll make yourself an all-round expert and hard to turn down for any kind of online marketing position. Here’s a few primers:

Learning a little about email marketing
WBF email marketing and SEO
Google Website Optimizer 101 (the best page on CRO I know)

Conclusion

In conclusion I just thought I’d mention two things. Firstly, I’m not looking for a job so please hold the recruitment calls – I love working at Distilled and am extremely grateful to Will and Duncan for giving me the opportunity to make it through several iterations of "head of search", here’s to the next iteration! Secondly, everyone’s different but I strongly believe that it’s not all about the money. If you’re applying for a new job then please please try and work for a fun company and make sure that you’ll enjoy it. Your own enjoyment is far more important than just the $$/££ you’ll get paid. Seriously.

First, I present you with a brief personal history. There was some interest in reading this on twitter so hopefully it’s useful to you.

How I Became Head of Search at Distilled

Account Executive is a good entry level job for those wanting to get into SEO.

Although my job title hasn’t changed my role has changed several times since I’ve been working at Distilled.

10 Tips To Boost Your SEO Career

While you’re reading through this list you might want to motivate yourself by reminding yourself what you can earn at different job levels within the SEO indsutry.

1) Get Qualified

2) Learn Some Secondary Skills

A side project is a great way of polishing up all your secondary skills, in fact a side project looks great on a CV too as Judith demonstrates here: if your SEO is not moonlighting, fire them.

3) Craft a Kick-Ass CV

4) Do Some Agency Time

5) Immerse Yourself in Excel

In summary, if you don’t know how to put graphs and charts into your reports then you won’t get very far, as this chart shows:

6) Present At A Conference

Once you’ve been accepted to speak you’ll want to take a look at these presentation skills for SEO.

7) Make Friends (aka Networking)

If you want to network slightly more officially then check out LinkedIn – you’ll be able to see upcoming job opportunities as well as raising your personal profile. Which brings me neatly to:

Build A Personal Brand

Building a personal brand is essential to getting a decent job, especially in the SEO industry. This xkcd sums it perfectly. There’s some great blog posts on this topic:

WBF – building a personal brand
The Layman’s Personal Branding Platform
SEO Tips for Building Your Personal Brand
The Ever-Snarky Rebecca Kelly’s Personal Branding + Networking = Job

In summary, get twittering and blogging with a username that’s recognisable and consistent.

50% of Employers Use Social Networking Sites to Research Job Candidates

On January 17, 2010, In SEO, Social Media Marketing, by Social Guy

As social networking grows increasingly pervasive, more employers are utilising these sites to screen potential employees. More than half (53%) of employers reported in a recent CareerBuilder survey that they use social networking sites to research job candidates. Another 12% plan to start using social networking sites for screening. More than 450 employers participated in [...]

Of those who conduct online searches/background checks of job candidates, 43% use search engines, 12% use Facebook and 12% use LinkedIn. Three per cent search blogs, while an additional 4% follow candidates on Twitter.

Why Employers Disregarded Candidates After Screening Online

As job seekers gear up their search for employment in the new year, they are cautioned to be mindful of the information they post online and how they communicate directly with employers. Forty-three per cent of employers reported they have found content on social networking sites that caused them not to hire the candidate. The top examples cited include:

Candidate lied about qualifications – 38%
Candidate showed poor communication skills – 31%
Candidate made discriminatory comments – 13%
Candidate posted content about them drinking or using drugs – 10%
Candidate posted provocative or inappropriate photographs or information – 9%
Candidate bad-mouthed their previous employer, co-workers or clients – 9%
Candidate shared confidential information from previous employer – 8%

Why Employers Hired Candidates After Screening Online

Job seekers are also encouraged to leverage social media in advertising their skills and experience. Half of employers reported they have found content on social networking sites that caused them to hire the candidate. The top examples include:

Profile supported candidate’s professional qualifications – 61%
Candidate showed solid communication skills – 41%
Candidate was well-rounded – 37%
Profile provided a good feel for the candidate’s personality and fit – 28%
Candidate seemed creative –24%
Candidate conveyed a professional image – 22%
Candidate received awards and accolades – 15%
Other people posted good references about the candidate – 15%

“Social networking is a great way to make connections with potential job opportunities in 2010 and promote your personal brand across the Internet,” said Farhan Yasin, president of CareerBuilder EMEA.

In addition, once job seekers land a position, they need to mindful of their online usage. 48% of employers monitor employees’ use of e-mail and the Internet. 28% of employers reported that they have fired an employee for information found on his/her social networking profile. The most common reasons for termination were due to negative posts about the company or another employee, because they shared confidential information or because they represented themselves in an unprofessional manner (38% each).

Yasin recommends the following DOs and DON’Ts to keep a positive image online this year:

1) DO clean up digital dirt BEFORE you begin your job search. Remove any photos, content and links that can work against you in an employer’s eyes.

2) DO consider creating your own professional group on sites like Facebook or BrightFuse.com to establish relationships with thought leaders, recruiters and potential referrals.

3) DO keep gripes offline. Keep the content focused on the positive, whether that relates to professional or personal information. Makes sure to highlight specific accomplishments inside and outside of work.

4) DON’T forget others can see your friends, so be selective about who you accept as friends. Monitor comments made by others. Consider using the “block comments” feature or setting your profile to “private” so only designated friends can view it.

5) DON’T mention your job search if you’re still employed.

Are Your SEO Resolutions Actionable?

On January 4, 2010, In SEO, by Dr. Pete

Posted by Dr. Pete

It’s that time of year again; the one where we look back on everything we ate during the last two weeks and promise not to do it again in the new year. It’s also the time that many of us set new and ambitious goals for our businesses. Unfortunately, while goals are important and ambition can be admirable, we make the same mistake with our professional resolutions that we do with our personal resolutions. Take the classic weight-loss resolution. The problem with saying that you’re going to lose 20 lbs. in 2010 is simple – it’s just not actionable. At the end of the year, you’ll either have lost 20 lbs. or not, but that outcome is affected by dozens of things beyond your control. What exactly are you going to do to make it happen? If the answer is wait around and wish for the pounds to melt away, best of luck.

Uncontrollable SEO Resolutions

Similarly, our SEO goals are too often beyond our control. If you set a goal like "Rank #1 for Keyword X" (a very common SEO resolution, I’m sure), what does that actually mean in terms of action? Are you going to pray to the Google Gods every morning and say 50 Hail Matts to purge your SEO sins (my apologies to our Catholic readers)? If you’re worth your salt as an SEO, you have actions in mind that you plan to take, so why not resolve to take those actions in a measurable way? It’s fine to have ranking (or weekly searches, CTR, CPC, conversion rate, etc.) as an ultimate objective, but wishing won’t make it happen.

Actionable SEO Resolutions

Before this starts to read like a self-improvement seminar, let’s look at some SEO resolutions that are actionable. These are goals that you can directly control – you’re in charge of whether or not you accomplish them. I’ll break them up into two groups: (1) On-page SEO, and (2) Link-building (with some social networking thrown in). Of course, not every idea is appropriate to every situation – these are just ideas for actionable goals (substitute an appropriate number for "X").

(1) On-page SEO Goals

Rewrite X page TITLEs
Write X unique META descriptions
Create an XML site map
Create a custom 404 page
Canonicalize problem URLs
301-redirect X broken URLs
Remove X low-quality internal links
Create a new [cleaner] master CSS

(2) Link-building Goals

Find X promising link prospects
Send X personalized link requests
Dig into analytics and find X hot topics
Create X pieces of new content/month
Write an e-book or comprehensive guide
Spend X minutes/day building up a social profile
Comment [thoughtfully] on X industry blogs/day
Re-tweet X pieces of great content/day

What Are Your Resolutions?

Of course, these are just a few ideas. Let me open it up to the community – what kind of actionable SEO resolutions have you made for 2010? What can you do that will really kick-start your efforts and make you look like a miracle worker to your clients?

Yep, Googlers Working on January 1st, New Years Day

On January 4, 2010, In SEO, by rustybrick

Many of those in the SEO, SEM, Web Design and related businesses find themselves working on holidays such as New Years and Christmas. I think it is more about the self-employed mentality versus it being computer related. Of course, computer related jobs tend to be good to work at any time. In any event, it is nice to know that you are not the only one working on these days. That is why we have Twitter and such.

I tend to report every year that I spot Googlers working on these holidays. Googlers were working on this past Christmas and they, JohnMu, was working on New Years day.

I spotted John posting not in just the Happy New Year thread but also in a couple webmaster related threads.

This is not new to John or Googlers, they did it New Years 2009 New Years 2008. Also Christmas 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Happy New Year all!

Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: January 2010

On December 31, 2009, In SEO, Web Design Tips, by Smashing Editorial

So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?

A Fresh Beginning

"One bleak morning, a girl sits on a dead tree. She feels sad but tried to put a smile on her lips. Suddenly three glittering butterflies went out from the branches and the world begins anew. The girl whispered, to the earth, ìthank you for a fresh beginning.î At that moment the sun begins to shine on the east."

New Beginnings

"A new year means, well….new? So that’s why I wanted to try something new. I have always loved the vector art I find all the internet and finally decided its about time to prove to myself that I can do that too. This piece is all about feeling, subconscious and conscious. I can’t believe how the slightest change in the curves or colors affected my sense of flow and for that reason I spent an unbelievable amount of time perfecting the flow of the piece ever so meticulously. Here’s to going from an old 2009 (red) to a fresh 2010 (blue)." Designed by href="http://saidur.com">Saidur Hossain from USA.
