I’d like to take the opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year and good fortune for 2010, and introduce Jeff Orloff back to SEOgadget who’s looking at how Google’s Chrome OS could impact the future of computing. Over to you, Jeff!
Google has hit the headlines recently with its announcement that netbooks running their browser based operating system, Chrome, will be on the market in the latter half of 2010. If Chrome OS lives up to expectations, it could have a huge effect on the future of computing. Below are a few things I think the Chrome OS can do:

2009 has been an incredible year for SEOgadget HQ. At the begining of 2009 SEOgadget, for me, was a place for me to express my views on SEO and produce articles that I hoped would add value to the community that has supported me for a long time.
Note from Richard: From time to time, we love to look beyond the world of pure SEO and focus a little more on interesting topics like the Ubuntu operating system and related technologies. On that note, I’d like to introduce Jeff Orloff, a technology coordinator with the School District of Palm Beach County. He also works as a consultant for Sequoia Media Services Inc., specializing in companies that are implementing social media into their businesses for collaboration and information-sharing. He is currently writing a book titled MediaWiki: A Beginner’s Guide. Today, Jeff will be talking about Ubuntu in the Office. Over to you, Jeff!
Much of my time in the past month has been consumed by an SEO recruitment campaign we’ve been running in the US and UK for a major client. In that time, I’ve had the opportunity to really think about my relationships with the recruitment agencies I’ve been working with and review how their selection process has helped or hindered our efforts. I’d like to share some pointers based on an ideal initial recruitment process to filter the best SEO’s and make finding your SEO Management rock star a painless process.
In this post, we’re going to be looking at what steps should be happening before the interview…
It’s always fun to speculate what the future holds for us, and this morning I’m going to take a look at an emerging trend that I believe will affect the way SEO’s work in the future, HTML5. We’ve already covered some of the early details of HTML5 and how it will affect SEO, at SEOgadget, but we’ve not yet had the chance to review and bookmark specific examples of HTML5 in the wild.

Today we’ve been spending some time thinking about and implementing the X-Robots-Tag, a lesser known Robots Exclusion Protocol for “noarchive”, “noindex”, “nofollow”, and “nosnippet” supported by Google, Yahoo and Bing. Why lesser known? The X-Robots-Tag likes to hide in your server header responses rather than in the <head> element of a web page. Rather handy in some cases, and I’m about to tell you why.

During Q&A on day one of the SEOmoz Pro Training Seminar, I was asked “What makes for a good SEO Manager?” by one of the attendees. Good question. While researching this post, I found it surprising that there’s a near total lack of content on the subject of SEO Management that I could find. Awesome, I thought. Here’s to writing in an under-served niche, and hopefully creating a useful blog post.

Since talking to Dave at A4UExpo about using noarchive in your meta header, I’ve been interested in understanding if implementing an instruction to remove the cache link using the “noarchive” tag has any impact on your search engine traffic and rankings.

As Dave puts it:
So the only reason I can see why I should leave the Google Cached link is so that other people can see what my website looks like in Googles eyes and why would I do that ?
