Todd (Oilman) made a solid post today on original thought.  If you don’t know him, he’s a really nice, smart fellow who calls things as he sees them. 
I’ve often remarked how too many postings in various blogs are un-original, or derivative, (forget the ones that are just outright plagiarized).  Too often they’re people just re-stating / re-phrasing what […]

Now that the first round of fixes, improvements, and changes to Enquisite Search Engine Metrics Reports are out of the way, I wanted to let you know what’s up next.  But before I go there, we noticed a couple of errors yesterday, and corrected most of them.  The final corrections are rolling out today - […]

 
I’m pleased to announce a significant update to the Enquisite Search Metrics reporting tool today.  We’ve had a tremendous initial response to the launch, and while our user base has been growing steadily, our development team has been plugging away on feature requests, updates, and bug fixes.
This will be the first in a number of updates […]

Although no longer newsworthy, (it’s been blogged about a zillion times already today), I wanted to take a moment, and thank Danny Sullivan for his contributions to the entire Search industry over the years.  He’s not done contributing yet, by any means.  But his decision to close out this chapter of his life with Search […]

Jason seems to have a run in at an Arby’s while picking up meals for himself and his family.  He got some coupons in the mail / newspaper, so went to Arby’s and found out their coupons were not suited to his needs,… and it all went downhill from there.
After reading the story I have only […]

I’m sure everyone has heard about AOL’s infamous data release a couple of weeks ago.  Today, AOL’s CTO, Maureen Govern resigned as part of the fallout.  A mistake was made, and she took responsibility.  Good for her.  Two other employees who were involved in the debacle were dismissed.
A very poor decision was made, regardless of […]

So, I just found out that Jade Carter from Metamend was injured last night playing in Google’s Sandbox.
Nothing “black hat SEO” about it. He literally pulled his hamstring playing volleyball.
Ironic.
 
 

I’m sitting here listening to Eric Schmidt (NASDAQ: GOOG) being interviewed by Danny Sullivan. Danny’s running an excellent interview, and both are doing a great job communicating their thoughts.
It’s an excellent session.
One topic just came up with gave me pause to think: Google’s plans to extend advertising to video.
At present, Google Video Search […]

Enquisite started as a means to report on a web site’s position within the serps (search engine results page).  It became a lot more - but still has that very positive feature.  It’s still a search engine ranking report, except unlike any other one out there, it complies with the search engines’ Terms of Use:  […]

So what are Search Metrics, and what is Enquisite?
Search metrics reports are also search trends reports.  Traditional web analytics are great tools which let you know what’s happening once a visitor arrives at a web site.  Search metrics are about the how’s, why’s and where’s that visitors who are arriving, or are not arriving, from search […]
