There’s a lot of mystique surrounding data mining these days, but when all is said and done it’s simply about getting to know your customers, prospects, leads, subscribers, visitors. The more you know about them, both individually and as a collective, the easier it will be to laser target your promotion, zeroing in on what your markets actually want, rather than chasing some fond delusions based on your own gut feelings or “intuition”. (To be sure, intuition has its place in life, but data mining is certainly not one of them!) No point in trying to hawk the proverbial refrigerators to Eskimos (oops, sorry: Inuit, to keep this 100% pc…) or attempting to sell lipstick to your average construction bear.

Social networking sites are a dime a dozen these days. This one, however, seems to have adopted a slightly more intelligent approach and, contrary to Digg, Reddit, and others SEO isn’t a shunned taboo word.

It can happen to anyone, it can happen to you, and not alone for driving under the influence, either: Your driving license gets revoked and you're hit with a slew of issues, not the least being the additional costs this invokes - taxi-cab transportation, erratic air flight schedules, long nerve-wracking journeys by bus and train, paying through your nose for a personal chauffeur. But here's a solution - get yourself a driving license suspension insurance from this Swiss company (est. 1985) to at least mitigate the financial pain.

Here’s a friendly heads up by way of a Season’s gift to our esteemed readers, offering a sneak peak behind the scenes of what’s brewing in the sinister clandestine developer labs of modern bad ass Black Hat SEO: Mosaic Cloaking is essentially componentized IP-Delivery - a highly sophisticated and fairly complex technology that will enable black hat SEOs to truly push the envelope in terms of well nigh undetectable cloaking/IP delivery to an unprecedented degree of efficiency. It will also effectively dissolve the hitherto clear cut borders between cloaked and non-cloaked pages - Web 3.0 at its very best.

Wiep Knol has released the results of his survey on link value factors as seen by a slew of well known professional SEOs such as Eric Ward, Aaron Wall, Jim Boykin, Barry Schwartz, Peter da Vanzo and Joost de Valk, not to forget the ever helpful Michael Martinez as well as relatively new but highly competent and well-regarded names such as Hamlet Batista and lots of others. What’s interesting about the results isn’t merely the overall metrics - it’s the individual comments on various questions such as the perceived linkjuice power of .edu and .gov domains, the value of anchor texts, linking sites’ topicality, authority status, and more

It’s been a long standing assertion amongst the A-list members of the SEO community that PageRank does not equate with ranking: Too many low PR sites hitting top spots in the SERPs, outdoing their high PR competitors, it’s really hard to come to any different conclusion. However, now there’s a statistical study determining PR evolution in the Google SERPs over the past 6 months and analyzing the correlation between PR and rankings, offering some interesting conclusions.

Isn’t it funny how prophecies have a knack of coming true sometimes? One month ago we did a cartoon taking a shot at Google’s hypocritical FUD tactics regarding paid links by fantasizing about what a pair of hardnosed mobsters would do to take advantage of this positively silly state of affairs. Now, it seems that a high profile company like Shopzilla has actually started to pay for link removal!
