Every two years, SEOmoz ask dozens of search marketing professionals to share their opinions on several (possible) search engine ranking influencing factors, and they’ve just released this years edition.

Some months are relatively quite, while you get overloaded with awesome link marketing posts during other months. Luckily, this month was one of the latter, which kinda makes up for the lack of posting on this blog. If only I could find a way to fit 30 hours into a single day, but I guess [...]
