Just another shorty since I was just struck by pure shock when hovering over some SERPs results. Even though they were on the first page, I did not want to click them since the instant preview showed nothing but ugly and out of date webdesign. I am number 1 two is not a winner and three nobody remembers. Catchy phrase outta the hiphop business. And somehow right. BUT if number [...]

Yep. Stay Away From SEO! Yes, I really said that! Whom am I talking to you ask? Well…look around…yes, it’s you! I talk about you, who has read 2 articles on copyblogger and search engine land and considers himself a SEO pro! Guess what, you are not! And guess one more time: You will never be! Why do I start ranting again? Because I made the mistake of using google [...]

At the beginning of this year I wrote a slightly disappointed post about the Austrian SEO scene (in German). Since then a lot  happened. I met some very passionate Austrian SEOs at SMX Munich, the first really organized Austrian SEO meet-up took place and now there is even an Austrian SEO conference to come. And this conference is going to be huge! I already mentioned it, when it was announced in [...]

Alright folks this is kinda commercial break. Well actually not really since I don’t get money for posting. So it’s more an announcement: The first austrian SEO conference is on it’s way. With some pretty cool speakers and a nice location in Salzburg Austria now awakes from it’s sleeping beauty existence and is about to host a noteworthy SEO event. SEOkomm will take place at 17.11. & 18.11.2010 in Salzburg, [...]

You make me wanna go to recap… I say yeah yeah yeah. So here we go. SMX Munich 2010 Recap. What was good, bad and ugly? Good: Discussions between Panels, different opinions, seeing former fellow students, meeting some more austrian SEOs, food, inspiration… Bad: Show offs, aircon/temperature at venues, very slow wi-fi Ugly: Mikkel deMib Svendsen’s Suit, the Westin Grand silhouette But lets start to cover SMX Munich 2010  from [...]

Nachdem Oliver in seinem Blogpost bereits darauf aufmerksam gemacht hat, greife ich das Thema hier gerne auf und leiste meine 2 Cents in Richtung eines SEO Tools mit Ösi-Fokus. Neben den bekannten Tools meiner Diplomarbeitsfirma Searchmetrics (aus Berlin. auuuuus Berliiiiin), SISTRIX und dem seit kurzer Zeit aggressiver auftretendem SEOLytics ist mit Xovi seit Ende des letzten Jahres ein Newbie am Start der zum einen durch sein Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis auf sich aufmerksam macht (99 [...]

Help, I need somebody, help not just anybody, help… …so oder so ähnlich komme ich mir manchmal vor seitdem ich im wundervollen Kaiserreich Österreich tätig bin. Wien rockt, die Leute eh ;-) und auch sonst kann ich mich nicht beklagen. Nur die SEO / OM Szene ist mir hier ein wenig zu müde. Es gibt zwar einige, die mit Sicherheit viel drauf haben, doch Communitytechnisch ist eher tote Hose. So ist es [...]

Since I just had some discussion with some coding guys about the importance of a custom 404 site (don’t blame me for my one over here – this is my playground!) I thought that’s a good topic for a short (I really try to keep this one pretty short) post. So basically my coding guys use to implement redirections on every page they create. Meaning when you do a typo [...]

When diving more into the SEO ocean again, I came across some articles talking about boxes and placement of content and their importance. And that’s cool’ cause now I can say: I told you so! ;-) About one year ago I started my final paper / thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg. And what did I tell? Exactly. Sites will get more and more divided into boxes, content [...]

nananananana. shalalala. badabim badabum… wtf? hehe. Right :D Just thought I might get your attention more easily that way ;-) Almost everybody is talking about SEO & Social Media, Social Search and Twitter Lists. (Actually so did I, at the ambuzzador blog – in German: ‘Social Search – ein Schritt vorwärts‘). But most people simply explain what’s it about, and not what they are expacting to happen. So that’s what [...]

Alright. How shall we start this? Shall we say congrats? finally?! respect?! or simply: it was time! god damn it! I started this post about 2 weeks ago and thought I finish it when coming back from Tenerife. But now, within 24 hours, a German online marketing maganzine published something about this topic and Aaron Wall did as well. Furthermore a German SEO Blog just started the SEO Votings 2009 [...]

Sollte durch Zufall jemand nach der SerialBox (was auch immer das ist) suchen, dann findet er relativ schnell den Link zu einer Unterseite der TU Graz. Ob die das so gut findet, was da ein Student / Mitarbeiter zum Download anbietet? ;-) Aber man sieht mal wieder, Uni-Links sind gute Links..

Let’s do the hyyyyyyype again ;-) Wie jedes Jahr findet auch diesmal dank seo-united.de die Wahl zum SEO des Jahres statt. Neben der Quotenfrau gibt es doch auch ganze 4 weitere Kandidaten die zur Wahl stehen. Supi ;-) Immer die gleichen logischerweise. Man will ja unter sich bleiben und sich gegenseitig hochleben lassen. Ähnlich verhält es sicht mit den anderen Kategorien. Jeder voted für sich oder seinen Buddy bzw. das [...]
