Santorum is still spreading
A good friend is a photographer/product manager/videographer/and search engine marketer. The last one he didn’t realize
until I convinced him…and even now he only reluctantly takes credit.
He is the guy behind the guy (Dan Savage) who built and marketed the SpreadingSantorum.com website. While this might not be a claim you want to show off to Grandma (check out the site when she’s looking over your shoulder) it’s gotten some excellent rankings, mentions on the Colbert Report, and now…Matt Cutts is saying it’s not a googlebomb, it’s just good SEO.
So Chase…congrats, you are an SEO. So sayeth Cutts. Like it or not.

If you don’t have at least 10-20 sites in your portfolio, get them. Come back and finish [...]
stop already.
this chain-letter blog circle-jerk is really getting out of control in the SEO community. Once was even too much, but now that the ego “gets a taste of the honey” (one of my dad’s common phrases) they can’t stop.
So for this “trust meme” (it’s not really a meme after 2 posts Michael) I trust that [...]
public stats & competitive intelligence
Quantcast is the latest public stats/metrics company I’ve seen. They have a great interface and some interesting data. Accuracy…eh…
Competitive intelligence is key to every industry but finding an accurate inexpensive tool is nearly futile. So instead use them all:
Alexa (alexaholic is more fun)
Bill Gross’ (idealab) Compete
Quantcast
Google Trends
For pay ones:
Trellian’s Competitive Intelligence
Hitwise
Nielsen netRatings
comScore Media Metrix
