State-of-Search-my-moment-2012

The end of 2012 is approaching rapidly, and yes, you are seeing ‘predictions for 2013′ or ‘what happened in 2012′ posts probably pop up everywhere. Here on State of Search we try and do things differently, but to be honest we also like to listen to what other people think and we like to let our friends talk.

So this year we went for another approach: we asked our friends and bloggers what their moment for 2012 was and what their wishes for 2013 are. Going up to the New Year we will tell you what the best moments of our friends were and around the New Year we will show you what they wished for. Not all at once, we have too many friends ;-) , but in groups. Towards the end you will hear from our bloggers.

Today it is time for the first group! In this group some big names from within the industry: WordPress SEO celeb Joost de Valk (for some better known as “Yoast”), former Microsoft hero, now author and Self Employed Mel Carson, The Director of Searchenginewatch Jonathan Allen and the editor at Searchengineland and Founder at SEROundtable Barry Schwartz tell us what they’re best moments for 2012 were. Enjoy! (more…)

Some Google Fun on Google+

obama-joking

Google gives us a lot of headaches when it comes to business, but through the years they have also given us a lot of things to smile or even laugh about. April fools jokes, Easter Eggs, you name it.

Since the end of the year is approaching we figured it would be fun to look back at some fun things Google did in the past like those Easter Eggs and April fools jokes. Every day until the end of the year we will share one on our Google+ page. On this page we will collect them all. All jokes are collected by our specialist on this area: Michel Wester. (more…)

Watch the State of Search Hangout about the Filter Bubble

filter-bubbles-hangout

The Filter Bubble, a term first introduced by Eli Pariser, could potentially mean we are getting biased information within Google and Facebook for example, which will narrow our perspective on things. Ned Poulter wrote about it on the site before.

But how big of a deal is it really? And how should we as marketers look at this problem? That was the topic of State of Search’ second Google Hangout.

It is again time for something new and special at State of Search! Next week is the start of Euro 2012, one of the biggest events in Europe. Football teams from around Europe will meet up, but State of Search meanwhile will do the same and let SEO’s meet up.

From all of this she will report back to us on State of Search.

Your chance to be on State of Search!

Jo will be bringing her camera and notebook to make sure she captures how the different European countries ‘do their SEO’ and watch the games. This means she wants to talk to you. You could be the one interviewed on State of Search, so make sure you meet up with wherever Jo is.

What is SEO, Matrix Style

Matrix-data

Last week we announced “Watch Zeus”, a special action by Linkdex to not only get you to SES New York, but which could also earn you $250 and eternal fame. The intention is that you enter a script which will then be animated by Linkdex. Cool stuff and you should check it out.

While waiting for all the entries Linkdex already decided to make one of their own called “What is SEO”. Now that title is not that exiting, what is exciting is the original script idea: the Matrix. Enjoy.
