Can you believe it’s November already? How time flies! The end of the year is approaching rapidly. And with October now being over it is time for a little recap, find below the most popular posts from October.
These posts are all written in October and some of them in the last week of September (because if a post would be written in the last week it would never show up in most popular posts right? 
) (more…)
Wow, how time flies by! October is already gone – it feels kind of surreal. And it has also been a month already since we started with the very first post of “Germany & Search” here on StateOfSearch. I certainly hope you found that kind of “aggregation” to be of use – and even if you just run it with Google translate, I promise that there is definitely some great stuff in there. It’s worth having a look! So, another month, another edition; and here we go: (more…)
Another 15 days have passed, and if you were thinking that Google had enough with three updates in a row (EMD Update, Panda 20 and Penguin 3), here we have the happy band of Mountain View pulling another news: the Link Disavow Tool.
And Twitter collapsed again! (more…)
This is the first post of a new monthly series where I will be sharing with you the latest search marketing posts, resources and events in Spain.
I’m happy to be able to create this list with frequent information about the Spanish search Industry –and related disciplines– since although the activity is maybe not as hectic as in the US or UK there are surely happening a lot of things, that unfortunately sometimes go unnoticed internationally. Let’s start with the latest ones:
At the end of September a new edition of ClinicSEO –one of the main SEO events in Spain– was organized along eShow Madrid with talks about link building, strategy, analytics, international and e-commerce SEO. You can take a look here at the different SEO presentations. (more…)
¡Madre de Dios!
I mean, the last edition of my “Super Search Update” was very quiet, somehow intellectual, all about the nature of SEO, looking into the evolution of our industry and… tadà! here comes the Google Empire striking again. And while we all are still waiting its Death Star, announced at SMX Advanced in Seattle by Matt Darth Cutts, its updates, as the AT&T Commandos (Penguin, Panda, EMD Update) are attacking us in the name of justice and peace of the Empire, squeezing and smashing the Rebel scum.
Ok, I started a little too much melodramatic, but let me tell you: all that “peace” Google offered us during the summer (thanks, we could go on vacation), is now asking its tribute after the holiday season. (more…)
Welcome to our very first post of a new series on StateOfSearch titled “Germany & Search”. The series will – for now – be appearing on a monthly basis and covering the most important German-speaking posts (believe it or not: We do have content in Germany as well) and try to give a brief summary of those – in English of course. So, without further due, let’s get into that! (more…)
This post presents the best content shared on Twitter between the 6th and the 27th of September. At least for me
Who is an SEO? A professional who spents his days marketing a site in the Search Engines?
A scientist? An artist?
Maybe all of this.
What does make an SEO a real SEO? His knowledge of the algorithms, his brilliant link building skills, his ability in understanding the data in order to create the perfect mix of content, which make a site outstanding? Sure, but, if you think it they are more consequences of a deeper quality: ethics.
An ethics founded on the effort, based on a “desperate” curiosity, which requires us to learn continuously and never considering ourselves masters, but always apprentices.
This is the main concept I have learn, and discovered I was feeling as mine since my first days in this profession, while reading “How to be a better SEO” by Richard Baxter, his notes for his presentation at the last edition of Brighton SEO.

Hi and welcome to the second issue of my curated list of the best content about Search shared on Twitter.
In this post I have looked at the period between 20th August and 5th September and have pulled together all the best bits of content (in my opinion) that was shared between these dates.
I don’t know about you but between 20th August and 5th September my time was dedicated mostly to sun bathing on the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea! But despite the lazy summer (SEOs have to go on vacation too, right?), I could not stay completely offline! But, let’s face it, can real SEOs can consider themselves 100% on holiday during their vacations? The answer is no – at least for me – especially after what happened last year, when Google had the brilliant idea of launching the Panda Update across its continental Europe search engines on 12th August, right in the middle of summer holiday season.
Therefore because I couldn’t spend my entire holiday relaxing in the sun, here is a list of content, that in my opinion was exceptional during that period.
Those ones of you who follow me on Twitter know well how much I like to share every post/article/guide I consider relevant, and that I discovered thanks to my long list of RSS feeds and monitoring what others are sharing online.
The reasons why I share content so much are many:
Sometimes I am asked if I spend my day on Twitter. Even though it may seems so, actually I do not pass all my time tweeting. Buffer, Social Bro, the same Tweetdeck scheduling option are great allies in my Twitter experience. But my best ally is IFTTT. In fact, with the premise that Twitter is the best way to communicate with peers spread all over the world, I baked some simple IFTTT recipes in order to see when my selected contacts tweet (i.e.: if Rand Fishkin tweets then an advise is posted on my email); if I can enter in the conversation, then I do.

A few months ago we started a series of weekly posts to help you figure out what you should be reading on the web. What did you miss? We at State of Search read a lot so we figured we would share that with you.
To keep up you can off course register for our newsletter and our RSS Feed or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
The series died a silent death, simply because it took too much time for one person to collect it all. But now the series is back. And with full force. This time the content is provided not by one blogger, but by our entire blogging team. This means you will get only the best! This time you will get the posts on the Tuesday, starting next week we will probably move it to the Friday to give you a ‘weekend reading list’. If you have any tips: tweet us! Enjoy! (more…)
