I’ve noticed this thing that happens that whenever one of my friends gets a tumblr, they almost always have no idea what they’re doing and it makes me cry so here’s a guide for all you newbies out there
The person who made this is a saint.
Finding a rival agency’s dirty link schemes…
How developers act when a SEO needs a web problem fixed (from Reddit SEO)
Doing an initial SEO audit on an ASP.NET site…
I once spoke with a bunch of ASP.NET developers (and even bought them a round at Starbucks) pleading with them to set up their websites with some basic SEO-friendly setups. They weren’t even my clients!
My dad types any website he wants to go to in a search bar because he is convinced that if he types it into the URL bar he will get a virus. He also only uses Yahoo Search because he thinks that if he uses Google, Yahoo will know he is “cheating” on them and delete his account.
The rest mostly comes from advertising — and the advertisers still prefer print and TV. As this Mary Meeker slide shows, we spend more time engaging with mobile devices than reading print, but print publications still get 25-times more ad money than mobile.
Very nice!

My mom can get on the internet for hours at a time, but when she’s done, she backs out of it - clicks to go back one page, over and over, until she’s back at her Yahoo mail start page. I’ve told her she doesn’t have to do that but she insists on it.
Google just rolled out an awesome new feature of their street view maps. For the first time you can explore underwater panoramic tours of 6 different coral reefs: Heron, Lady Elliot and Wilson Islands at the Great Barrier Reef, Molokini Crater and Hanauma Bay in Hawaii, and the Apo Islands in the Philippines. You don’t have to learn how to snorkel, scuba dive, or even get your toes wet.
In collaboration with the Catlin Seaview Survey, Google used a submersible underwater camera equipped with three high-resolution wide-angle lenses that captured 24 megapixel photographs from each lens every four seconds. The results are 360 degree views and what amounts to a virtual scuba tours of each reef. Pretty freaking awesome.
Check out a brief video about Google’s underwater street view here.

I can’t believe they didn’t blur the faces. Don’t animals get the same right to privacy as we do?
