This Week In Search 22-5-09
Posted in Weekly Round Up on May 22nd, 2009 by HannahWell hello there!
Despite being on annual leave, I’m still taking some time out of my daytime television watching to bring you the weekly round up. Now, that’s commitment 
So here’s the round up of the best blog posts/articles I’ve read this week…
Events / Conferences
This week saw SMX London, which sadly I couldn’t attend. Fortunately Kevin from seoptimise pulled together 41 top tips which he took away from the event, and Molly at Distilled pulled together a round up identifying the four key themes which ran through the event - nice work!
SEO
Link building is a key part of any SEO project and over at Search Engine Guide, Diane Aull is keen to remind you not to overlook your own internal linking and navigation. Wise words indeed.
Struggling to get your head around URL rewrites and 301 redirects? Fear not, dear hearts, over at SEOmoz, Jen’s fantastic post will set you straight.
Social Media
Thinking about venturing into Social Media? Be good boys and girls and plan properly - Lisa at Outspoken Media has written a fabulous post on creating a social media plan - you’d do well to heed her advice.
Web Design & Usability
Bamboozled by web design jargon? Pop over to Smashing magazine’s site and sneak a peak at their glossary… then bookmark it so you can refer to it again (and again, and again, and again).
PPC
Still confused about quality score? It’s something I get asked about a lot. See Jon Myers’ post on Search Cowboys - he explains all and provides a potted PPC history lesson.
Aaaannnnd Finally, Friday’s Funny
Erm, well perhaps this is only funny if you watch Lost. If you don’t watch Lost, then you should – if only because you could then appreciate the brilliance of this little gem from Robert Brockway via Cracked.
Have a lovely weekend
