New eCommerce Trends Tool: Get Google Checkout Merchant Trend Data

eCopt — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:54:36 +0000

Caught this announcement on the Google Checkout Blog yesterday and it also appeared on Search Engine Land today. It looks as though Google has added another Trends tool to their arsenal that caters to eCommerce sellers, shoppers and even eTail professionals and search engine marketers.

The new eCommerce trends tool is called Google Checkout Trends. The tool is similar to Google Web Search Trends, except that the Checkout Trends tool only aggregates useful sales data from Google Checkout merchants and charts the data on an easy to use, easy to read interface for the user to see. Basically, it shows users important trend data about who is buying and selling what from Checkout.

SEOmoz Services Marketplace Goes Live Today, Yippee!

eCopt — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:46:21 +0000

Just caught wind of this news at the SEOmoz blog. Wow Mozzers, good secret, this is certainly something I didn’t expect to see from you, but is definitely a good addition to the site in my opinion. We are seriously lacking a quality marketplace that allows service providers to display their services and skill-sets, hopefully this becomes THE industry resource for that.

So, if you are an industry service provider and specialize in anything web design, development, content or marketing related, be sure you go over to SEOmoz right now (if you haven’t already), register or login to your account and go to the new Services Marketplace so you can list your resume, company and areas of specialty for display on SEOmoz. Hurry, before someone else from your organization does and gets all the credit for the idea!

At SEOmoz, we get more than a dozen requests for business every week, and constant emails asking if we know people who can fill a particular position. With the SEO Services Marketplace, we finally have a scalable solution that lets search marketers and web professionals of all stripes connect with businesses seeking services and candidates. It’s a match made in search industry heaven.

New Advertisements On SEOmoz, Could This Be The First Of Many?

eCopt — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:18:48 +0000

Just noticed this, not sure if it’s been brought up or if anyone cares, but it appears that there are some new ads in place of the premium member advertisements that have previously been displayed on SEOmoz’s blog and Youmoz under each first post. I can’t see this being a permanent change, Rand must be doing a favor for Danny, or something like that. I don’t expect to see these new ads replacing SEOmoz’s second main stream of revenue advertisements for good though, do you? Feel free to chime in anytime Mozzers, I don’t recall seeing anything about this and you we usually get a hint when something like this happens or is about to happen.

This past Monday I had the privilege to attend the first ever SEOmoz Training Seminar and Presentation by Rand Fishkin. A client, biz partner and friend of mine, Slingshot, flew in from Indiana on Sunday to attend the event with me. Personally I had a blast and loved the small attendee format, which gave everyone a chance to mingle with Rand, other Mozzers and each other without feeling like you had to “wait in line.”

I got an email yesterday congratulating me on a complimentary membership to SEOmoz’s premium content. It was such a nice surprise and a great end to my Friday afternoon at work. This was really unexpected and I appreciate the gesture so much that I wrote this post as kind of a thank you to them for being so generous. Here’s what the email said …
