My neighbor has run over my last two phonebooks, and rendered them virtually unusable.

It’s OK though, since I [...]

Vanity Metrics May Not Be All Bad
It’s becoming common wisdom in the SEO, startup, and marketing worlds that so-called vanity metrics are accursed trolls of numbers, sent from the fiery deep to confuse, mislead, and prey on the weak-minded marketer. E.g:
In a lot of ways, I agree with posts like those Eric Ries has written on the topic. Pivoting based on actionable metrics vs. those that may merely be leading indicators or are merely correlated but not causal seems like a smart idea. The problem is, a lot of the time, those...

Google Panda Update: Possibly The "Softer" Panda Algorithm
There is renewed chatter in the WebmasterWorld forums about another shuffle taking place in Google. The consensus is that this update is likely Panda related.
