I love Yahoo! Doing a search on Yahoo Image Search proves that the acronym SML most definitely belongs to me :)

As you can see, aside from slight irregularities on Page 9 and 10, a year of image SEO is working :)

Google search results comparison: Logged in vs Logged out

It always fascinates me how search results should differ depending on whether I'm signed into Google or not. Take a look at the following screenshots of Google Search: See-ming Lee

Google's algorithm appears to be saying

• When I'm logged in, since i am so active on social networks, my friends' activities matter, and as such the friends history on digg and my LinkedIn profile matters
• When I'm logged out, people generally search for me when they are looking for information about me, and so the blogs matter more

I'm not quite sure which is which, but I am going to continue to look around. The Google SERP fluctuates so much that it is hard to keep track. Does anyone know if there is a service that do data-mining everyday so I can compare stats?

Show, Not Tell

I believe that the best way to sell anything is to show it, not to tell it.

Here are some examples of why I think that I know SEO:

Google: design technology marketing



Google: design technology strategy



Google: design technology marketing strategy



You will see that my sites are on the first and second search results of these pages. And trust me, if you use my name, there won't be just two :)

Point.

Google search results = my online personal ad

Ok, I can see that you are very searchable. So what?
— via IM

When I googled myself a few years ago, I had less than a page of links. When I googled myself half a year ago, I had at most 30 pages of links. Now, when I google myself, I have about 50,000+ links. What's the purpose of all this?

One purpose, I say, is that it functions as my online personal ad. Why bother writing all those lengthy paragraphs of descriptions, interests and what I like or don't like when what people really want to do is get your name and Google it themselves anyhow?

So there: Google SERP = my online personal ad.

Scoop up everything related to me in words, images, videos, blog posts then email me at seeminglee+love@gmail.com if you're interested.

To make this easier to forward to your friends, just send them my tiny url: GoogleSML.com

Cheers,
See-ming
