New York Times Online Paid Experiment: Let’s Watch

Comments Off on New York Times Online Paid Experiment: Let’s Watch
May 14  |  News  |   Ryan Clark

So the New York Times has announced that it will be charging for content on their website, a last ditch effort to make some money perhaps. The NYT does do pretty much all of its reporting, so you can see why they might be wanting to try this effort out. I for one, think it`s going to flop like just about every other attempt like this attempted. What is different however, is that the NYTimes.com website been seeing a lot of growth in the past 5 months, and hopefully this doesn`t hurt that effort. With a lot more popular content going away from the Google Index, I wonder if they`ll still manage to keep organic traffic up.

I think this is a great opportunity from a marketing and SEO perspective because we can monitor any changes, without footing the bill of course. I`m also wondering about how much organic and social media traffic they`ll lose to those big stories. I`ve seen other paid newspapers have there paid content landing pages rank well in Google, and that pissed me off quite a bit, so  hopefully we don`t see that here.

What are your thoughts?

Strange Google Listing Result

8 Comments
April 28  |  News  |   Ryan Clark

I was just Googling around for some local search stuff, non client related when I came across this strange anomaly within the SERPs. Forgive me if this isn’t something new, but I’ve never seen a Google listing pick up those characters from on page like this before, and it surely caught my eye. The link goes to a local Craigslist ad in which you can see why Google picked this up and is now showing it as is…so strange! Anyone got anything to say about this?

February 5  |  News  |   Ryan Clark

I just saw this mini conference being held by SEM Portland on the 9th of February….so only a few days folks. I’ll hopefully catch anyone in the area who hasn’t heard of these folks just in case they want to catch what looks like an amazing panel of speakers. I’m almost on the verge of catching a flight since it’s only a 60 minute one from Vancouver here, but work is keeping my bogged down as usual.

What made me want to write about this event was the link building topics being discussed. Instead of the usual boring basics it looks like they’re going to be getting into it deep. As you can see from the list of guest speakers below there is no shortage of talent.

On February 9th, a panel of link building experts, will take us through:

  • Getting between the cushions: Finding links where they’ve always been. – Ian Lurie – Portent Interactive
  • Writing & Promoting Link Bait – Scott Fish – EngineWorks
  • Utilizing your existing network for links – Blu Drobushevich – Amplify Interactive
  • Automating Link Building (tools, widgets, etc.) – John McPhee – Anvil Media

Linkbuildr Office Peek

February 3  |  News  |   Ryan Clark

I thought I’d start having more fun and post some stuff from our office from time to time. Most of you only hear me ranting on the blog but everyone else here keeps pretty busy and behind the scenes. We’re working on a few podcast episodes at the moment which will introduce everyone else. There are only four of us here and our office looks pretty bare for how long we’ve been here. I couldn’t get the work done without everyone here so enjoy some of the pictures even though they’re pretty boring.

Kevin is on the left and he’s our programmer who just happens to be good at accounting a well…We all suspect he’ll eventually commit suicide from all the math, statistics and frustration. If you’d like to have a widget coded up and make Kevin’s life even more busy then get in touch. The other Ryan on the right is manager of the linkbait and social media marketing end of things and he’s the guy getting your content viral on all the social news sites.

I think the magical number of whiteboards is 3 and we enjoy staring at them despite how much more efficient my iPhone and netbook are. You’d normally see Geoff  in this picture if he didn’t decide to sleep in and work from home today…I figure I can tease him about it a little even though he’s got more work done than I today.

This is my desk at the moment which looks kind of bare on one end and messy as hell on the other. All I really need is my netbook and Starbucks so I keep a pretty clean desk. My home office looks a lot more professional, and by professional I mean dual LCD screens and really big speakers.

Gain the Competitive Edge with Linkscape from SEOmoz

Linkscape from SEOmoz has been around a long time now and is one of the biggest private link databases on the market. I’m a huge fan of Linkscape and the new and improved Open Site Explorer so you know that these tools will handle all your backlink analysis needs. I highly recommend signing up with SEOmoz Pro for a month to get a feel for all the tools, not just the link handy backlink explorer. If you’re in the market for tools to make reports for clients then I also highly suggest you get on it…I’m just migrating my clients over to some of the reporting and it’s a really handy feature.
