As a special pre-holiday treat, we decided to share our more long tail search terms from last month (November 2007). Enjoy!
How to read minds: 225 searches. Ever wonder how Rand seems to have so many eerily accurate predictions about the future of search engine algorithm changes? Well, so do 225 other people…Titties: 52 searches (thank Lucas for that one)Better than google: 51 searches. Meh, we already knew that SEOmoz was better than Google, sliced bread, and real butter combined (mmmmm, butter and Google sandwich…)How to speak English: 41 searches. Sadly, we only offer a course on “How to Speak English with the Occasional Injections of Superfluous U’s into Words,” taught by our favo(u)rite Kiwi, Jane.Barry bonds before and after: 22 searches. Sounds like a Jeopardy category waiting to happen…Good questions to ask: 22 searches. If you have to search for this, then you fail as a human being.Mud wrestling: 19 searches. How did they know about our team building exercises?Simpsonized pictures: 18 searches. I only threw this in because I geekily think it’s cool that we rank for something Simpsons-related.What is an encyclopedia: 13 searches. Seriously? Seriously?!20 questions to ask a guy: 10 searches. Um, ask them anything. It’s not like Jane Goodall with the apes, for crying out loud.the incredibles: 10 searches. Hooray, we rank for a Pixar film! list of every website: 9 searches. Google returns a page saying “Displaying one of eleventy billion results.”

Today marks the completion of our first ever external funding - $1.1million (sorry, no Shoemoney shot here). I wrote about this move twice before, asking in August for your feedback on whether to take venture capital and in September about our decision to move forward with the deal. At that time, I also promised that we’d have a recap of our financials for the year-to-date, much as we did for 2006. Sadly, this will be the last time I’m able to share this much about the inner workings of SEOmoz this publicly. However, we’re moving away from the traditional consulting model and thus our numbers are probably less relevant and interesting than, say, Jim Boykin’s (just saying, Jim, if you feel like sharing, I’m sure the folks would appreciate it). And, in good news, talking with Michelle today (with the Seahawks game on pause), we will still be sharing lots of cool stats and keeping true to our moz-ethos post-investment. This means the sharing certainly isn’t over, it just probably won’t be this all-encompassing again (with regard to finances, that is. We’ll still reveal way too much about everything else).
