This article is part of Local Search Week here at Search Engine Land, a special look at local search marketing issues in the run-up to our SMX Local & Mobile conference next month. Why am I so bullish on mobile? When mobile services become better known by searchers (that’s a large challenge) and used correctly (another challenge), they can offer something most people want more of. Time!

If someone writes a post that contains a big list of tools they’re using, I’m going to read it almost every time, even if I keep running into the same information. I’m always on the lookout for new ways to help our clients develop better content and build better links; so, the more creative platforms out there, the better, in my opinion. My main purpose as far as link generation goes is pretty simple: I need some new ideas for discovering relevant link partners and for creating link-worthy content. I use tools primarily to give me ideas that I can build on, whether it’s for creating content, working with PPC, deciding on internal anchor text, or identifying link partners. I tend to fall back on the same old handful of tools, so during the past couple of weeks, I decided to rely more on some I hadn’t used before. Thus far, I am loving the following sources of inspiration. Tools For Generating Content Ideas The following three tools are all free (which is … [Read more...] about 4 Tools (And 1 E-Book) I’m Loving For Content Creation And Link Development

But which is the best to use, when so many are offered and new ones seem to appear each day? Below, issues to consider and a breakdown of popular services, including recommendations and services to avoid (the new DiggBar being one of these). The URL Shortener Mega Chart NOTE (March 2011): I’m hoping to update this article in the near future. Much of the basics are still valid.

Bing’s holding a big press event here tonight in Hollywood, California. We’re live on the red carpet. OK, no red carpet, but we do have Ryan Seacrest hosting the event. Sit back and stay tuned as we live blog what’s to come. NOTE: See our Bing Entertainment, Unwrapped: Music, Movies, Games & TV story which covers in non-live blog format the changes announced today. I’m here at the Soho House with Search Engine Land managing editor Elisabeth Osmeloski, who will be both shooting photos and filling in the massive gaps in my knowledge of popular culture (Me: who’s Ryan Seacrest? Elisabeth: He has a million jobs. He’s like the new Dick Clark. Just end the story, “Seacrest out!”). Along with Ryan — I mean Mr. Seacrest — we’re promised a one hour discussion with (and I quote Elisabeth’s earlier preview article): Kathryn Bigelow (director of the Hurt Locker) and T Bone Burnett (writer, best original song “The … [Read more...] about It’s Bing & Ryan Seacrest
