Posted by Dana Lookadoo This post was originally in YOUmoz , and was promoted to the main blog because it provides great value and interest to our community. The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of SEOmoz, Inc. Day 1 of SEOmoz Pro Training was like being at a race track. The course careened from clicks to conversions and from search results to landing pages . The audience watched 9 speakers drive their search marketing race cars at speeds faster than fingers can type.

Jumping Army Strong on Social Media & the Golden Knights

Army Strong Stories is a program to draw attention to the real life and experience of being in the Army through soldier stories communicated via media socially. Recently  Greg Swan of the Minneapolis Public Relations firm, Weber Shandwick, that is behind the Army Strong Stories campaign contacted me with a compelling opportunity to create my own Army story: “Would you like to go skydiving with the US Army Golden Knights?” Who are the Golden Knights ? In 1959 13 men joined together to form the Strategic Army Corps Sport Parachute Team, to compete in the communist dominated sport of skydiving. The team performed so well that on June 1, 1961 the Army maded them an official parachute team and the Knights (men and women) have been wowing audiences at air shows ever since. Greg is a well known “social media guy” and works with the Army account for his agency. At first I was uncertain about the jump, but after looking at the competitive skydiving team’s website , YouTube channel and blog , I decided it was worth checking out. One thing Greg didn’t know when he invited me was that I spent several years on active duty in the military.

Google Updating Search Results As You Type

Rob Ousbey spotted Google updating the search results as he typed in the Google search box. This is literally shocking and intriguing for me. Here is his video, you must watch it: I assume Google is testing this on users with only fast internet connections, because this can take time to run. Unless they are prefetching stuff, but even then... Tedster has three excellent points in a WebmasterWorld thread: (1) I have a feeling it could surface a lot of value beyond pure Search Suggestions. Maybe it should be called "SERP Suggestions". (2) I also have a feeling that it could drive the average search user crazy - thinking of a few relatives who still can't figure out some basics
