As a relatively new adopter of heatmap technology, I can only say one thing really... I wished they had been around much longer! If you haven't seen a heatmap before, then have a look at http://www.feng-gui.com/.

Having considered much of the information imparted from the SES London Organic Session yesterday morning I am not sure if I am more or less confused now about the whole rel="nofollow" issue.

I have just stepped out of the Organic Listings Forum at Search Engine Strategies London 2008. On the panel were David Naylor, Ralph Tegtmeier AKA Fantomaster, Edward Cowell, Steve Johnston and legendary moderator / personality Mike Grehan. Great one hour conference session on recent trends and info in organic search marketing. I just wanted to share with you the highlights.

You might have noticed a few changes recently. Just thought I would jot them all down and give you all an overview on what I have changed and why.

Its not often that I post about something like this but honestly, I think this is one of the best and most original ideas I have seen on the web for years! My tip is that ideas like this are the future of online marketing and that as rankings get more competitive creative concepts and viral campaigns will pave the way to success. Check out the website, its brilliant! Remember this could also work for boys too! Lol. Mind you I am not so keen to see that one

I thought it would be interesting to try and compile a list of some of the most well know seo personalities in the UK. I don’t really know why I wanted to do this. Some possible reasons are:

1. I thought it would be good to try and highlight some of the people who I think have been pivotal in the UK Search Market.
2. I would like to get some feedback from other people i.e. readers of this post, on who they think are top seo people in the UK. Please leave any suggestions in the comments, I will add them to the list and do a little Bio on them.
3. I thought it might nice resource for people researching the seo industry in the UK
4. I thought it would be interesting and fun! Strange little man that I am!!

After a poor financial year with top line takings down by over 15% and a recent warning that they would have to spend over $300m to revive the company, guess what, Microsoft have made an offer to buy Yahoo!

The already huge and powerful Microsoft have for some time been struggling to compete in the online market share, a takeover of Yahoo would give both companies a 30% plus share of the market making them some serious competition for Google.

Well, last night was the climax to the whole Shoemoney “slating off the seo industry” issue. Danny Sullivan representing the Search Engine Optimisation Industry was live on the popular Webmaster Radio show squaring up against the affiliate marketing flame baiter Shoemoney. So… Who won the flight?
