Why I dislike Bo.lt

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 21:59:41 +0000

When I released my updated WordPress SEO article a few weeks back, my buddy Avinash was kind enough to tweet it. He tweeted it, at first, with a bo.lt link. Bo.lt is a sharing service that allows you to basically make a copy of a page and add some notes or even some changes to [...]

Search & Social – you can’t get the cream out of the coffee

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:47:03 +0000

Yesterday, Google launched "Search plus your World", intermixing search and social and providing even more "personalized" results. There's a lot of outcry about some parts of this, with people saying they don't want "personalized" results. I actually think that normal users do want personalized results and that this is, for the most part, a good thing. [...]

URLs, social media and campaign tracking

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:22:52 +0000

Canonicalizing URLs is a very important  aspect of Search Engine Optimization but also of Social Media Marketing. This morning, when checking my feeds, I noticed an example that I thought could help you understand the what and the why of it. What I noticed was this: Smashing Magazine had put out one of their usually [...]

Join Yoast on Facebook

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:43:40 +0000

I've been a bit slow on picking up on Facebook, I've had an account for ages but Yoast.com never had a Facebook fan page. My buddy Roy kept poking me though and telling me that I was missing out. So now it has: Yoast on Facebook. So I would really like if you join me [...]

The analytics issue with Twitter

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:01:51 +0000

Twitter is great for traffic, but just how great it is, well, you'll never really know. Why not? You'll ask. Well, the only traffic you'll see coming from Twitter is traffic that comes through Twitters web interface. And most people I know don't use the web interface, they use desktop and / or phone clients. [...]

TwitterCounter Dashboard Widget

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 20:15:02 +0000

I've recently had some fun with developing the TwitterCounter API (to which we've added Twitter Rank yesterday) and my first Mint Pepper for it, and I decided it was time to add another milestone to my development career. I'd never developed Widgets for Apple's Dashboard yet, but I had seen Dashcode, and that it seemed [...]

The power of Twitter (clients) exposed

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 09:54:12 +0000

This story shows the power of Twitter and how you should always be prepared for major traffic spikes. Last night, in the beginning of the evening, @michielb twittered that he made a list of most used Twitter clients. I thought it looked pretty cool and asked him if that was measured by unique users or [...]

TwitterCounter: the API and the Mint Pepper

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:58:08 +0000

As you know I'm a big fan of TwitterCounter, and Boris, its creator and founder is one of the few Dutch entrepreneurs I'm actually a fan of, as he really seems to get the "new" web. I emailed him last week, asking why TwitterCounter didn't have an API, and we started talking about what an [...]

Twitter iPhone apps side by side

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:27:38 +0000

Twitter is now officially a part of my life. I find myself checking Twitter more often then my email, and that, I guess, forces me to be smart about how I use it. I've been using Twitterific and Twinkle side by side for a while, but both annoyed me at times. They look like this: [...]

Easily display your last Tweet

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:13:45 +0000

I wanted to show my latest tweet on the front page of this site, and although I know there are several plugins which probably could've helped me do this, I decided to see how easy the API was to use. It turned out to be incredibly easy, as long as you have PHP 5.2 or [...]

Leaving Onetomarket

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:02:34 +0000

Typing this blog post gives me a weird feeling. I won't beat around the bush: I'm leaving Onetomarket. It's time for a new challenge, and it's time to broaden my horizon. Because of that, I will be joining a new company as of October 1st, and will be diving into another corner of online marketing. [...]

Digg submit buttons: a good idea?

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:00:00 +0000

Lately I've noticed a lot of people using the Digg button in Sociable to submit my posts to Digg. While I appreciate the gesture, the chance of any of my "normal" posts making it to the front page of Digg is minimal. To make it to the front page, you currently need 200+ diggs. Getting [...]
