SEO Benefits of Blogs - EvanCarmichael.com

Posted an article recently at EvanCarmichael.com on the benefits of blogging as it applies to Search Engine Optimization. This article provides a high-level summary of blogging, how to get started and how to leverage blogs to gain search engine visibility.

I'm a new author to EvanCarmichael.com and hope to post more articles here in the future. The site is a great resource for small to medium size business owners looking for advice directly from industry professionals.

Clicky Web Analytics

Found Clicky, an alternative to Google Analytics with some interesting features you will not find in most analytics tools. One of my favorites is the "Spy" feature. This feature allows you to view activity on your web site in real-time as users click, download or page through your site. Very cool stuff.


Clicky seems like a good solution for small to medium size businesses, web designers or developers getting started in web analytics. I'm also impressed with the data capabilities and easy integration with other technologies such as Google Maps and WordPress.

Powerset aims to make search results more powerful...

Powerset is a search engine currently under development and due to launch some time in September.

The goal of this search engine technology is to make search "more natural and intuitive... Powerset is fundamentally changing how we search the web, and delivering higher quality results" claims Powerset.com's web site.

It will be interesting to see how different Powerset's approach to search results differ from those on Yahoo and Google. Sure, there are plenty of issues with the major engine results, but what will make Powerset's technology far superior to the status quo?

For many Google users the value is in more than just search. (features such as gmail, maps, analytics, etc.) The search portal is the gateway to a world of services that help build a relationship and build trust. Are web surfers satisfied with "good enough" in Google and Yahoo, or will they demand something more advanced?
