Crafting a kazoo out of her cleavage and a straw? There's nothing this girl can't do with her ta-tas. I hear the Swiss government is hard at work developing their own pair for their army.

Posted: 07 Oct 2010 04:33 AM PDT

Lingerie-clad students from Moscow's most renowned university have posed in an erotic calendar proclaiming their love for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who turns 58 on Thursday.

The calendar, called "Vladimir Vladimirovich, We love you. Happy Birthday Mr Putin, Call me and get your present, What about the third term?",etc features twelve women wearing only underwear and pouting at the camera with saucy slogans.

The women are all named as journalism students at the Moscow State University and a spokeswoman for the faculty confirmed to AFP that the models study there.

Frog in Wine Bottle

Posted: 07 Oct 2010 01:58 AM PDT

A woman in the UK is reportedly suing supermarket giant Asda after she allegedly found a frog in a bottle of wine purchased at one of its stores. Isolde Beesley of Leicestershire said the small frog fell out of a bottle of Moscatel de Valencia Spanish wine as she poured a glass at a family celebration.

She claims to have suffered from stomach pains ever since the incident, which occurred on December 26th 2009, and as such is pursuing a claim for compensation, reports Decanter magazine.

At the time, Asda removed the wine from its shelves while it conducted an investigation. Ms Beesley's lawyer, Michael Connor of TPS Solicitors, said that Asda was 'under a duty by virtue of the Sale of Goods Act to make sure the wine was fit to drink'. He added that the fact the wine apparently contained a dead frog clearly made it unfit for consumption.

Beautiful Golden Tabby Tiger

Posted: 07 Oct 2010 01:37 AM PDT

This one is called a golden tabby tiger. It is a tiger with an extremely rare color variation, which is caused by a recessive gene and is normally found only in captive tigers. But it is not a separate species of tigers, it's just a color form.

Golden tigers also tend to be larger and, due to the effect of the gene on the hair shaft, have softer fur than their orange relatives. There are currently believed to be fewer than 30 of these rare tigers in the world, but many more carry the gene.

Posted by randfish

You've probably already noticed that here at SEOmoz, we tend to travel quite a bit. Often times we're speaking at a conference or covering it on the blog, but sometimes we find ourselves wishing we had more time to hang out with the community. We needed to come up with a way to spend some quality time with you. So, we're sending mozzers out to cities all over the world to have Meetups and give us a chance to get to know you in a more intimate setting.

We're interested in learning first-hand what we can we do to make our software work harder for you, if you'd like to learn about a specific subject on the blog and in general, anything you'd like to tell us! Of course, we'll provide the beer, probably some food and at the very least some interesting conversation.

Content Marketing That Stands Out

Posted: 06 Oct 2010 10:54 AM PDT

Posted by Dr. Pete

Red car in a sea of white carsWhen you're a small fish in a sea of competitors, getting noticed by search engines is never easy. If you're a car dealer, local restaurant, real estate agent, lawyer, doctor, etc., you're not only competing with hundreds of other businesses just like yours, but when it comes to link-building, everyone is trying to pick the same low-hanging fruit.

Strong content that attracts natural links can really help break the mold of low quality directories, blog comments, and spammy article marketing, but where do you start and how do you stand out? The world only needs so many mortgage calculators. I'd like to offer a few tactics to get you moving (and thinking) in the right direction.

Car Dealers (Tactic: Positive UGC)

Many companies are afraid of user-generated content (UGC). They imagine the worst – negative comments, brand-bashing, customer service horror stories. Although that fear is often overblown, it's easy to sympathize. It is possible, though, to use UGC and still control the message.

Let me illustrate with a story. In the late 90s, my parents bought a Saturn. Back then, Saturn was known for their unique buying experience – when you signed your paperwork, they took your picture, posted it on the wall, and the employees all came out and cheered. It was a little odd, admittedly, but it was definitely a memorable experience.

Why not use that same approach online? Find your brand evangelists - ask your customers to submit photos of themselves with their cars, for example. This type of positive UGC has a number of advantages:

  • You'll tend to attract brand loyalists.
  • People will link to their content on your site out of vanity.
  • You'll create natural testimonials.

Restaurants (Tactic: Positive UGC)

This is another spin on the car dealership idea. If you're a restaurant, you have to deal with reviews. They can really make or break your business, especially now that there are entire companies dedicated to flooding the internet with positive (or negative) reviews. Why not ask for feedback in a way that naturally spins positive? For example, add a feature to your site where you ask people to post pictures of their favorite dish from your restaurant. No one has a bad favorite dish – the haters will naturally exclude themselves. Meanwhile, the brand evangelists will love seeing their photo posted online and will naturally tell their friends.

Real Estate (Tactic: Local Interest)

Real estate websites and even blogs have a tendency to be generic – they talk about why it's time to buy, how to find a decent interest rate, etc. This information, done well, is fine, but it's hard to stand out when you're saying the same things that 1,000 other realtors are saying.

Why not focus on the local angle? Think more broadly than just real estate – talk about the highlights of the neighborhoods you sell in. This could be everything from the best schools and local tourist attractions to talking about your favorite local restaurants. Don't be afraid to get a little personal, and you'll tap into a few advantages:

  • You'll show you know and like the neighborhood you sell in.
  • Local content will naturally attract local links.
  • You'll naturally highlight the reasons to live in your neighborhood.

Lawyers (Tactic: Local Expertise)

Lawyers, like realtors, face the problem of how to say the same things as everyone else and still sound unique. Again, focus on your own niche and the local angle (assuming you're a smaller office). Highlight local stories that show how the law impacts your area – this could be everything from crime stories to civil suits. Discuss these stories in the context of your practice. You could even have fun with it – talk about weird laws in your state or city, for example. The advantages?

  • You'll show that you're up to date with current laws and events.
  • People will see that you understand how the law impacts them.
  • Local interest stories naturally attract local links.

Don't Be Afraid to Get Creative

If there's a theme here, it's that you can't be afraid to start getting creative, even if you think you're in a "boring" industry. Think about what got you into your business in the first place – there's always a story, and the more you put your own spin on content, the more authentic and unique it will naturally become. Say something that no one else is saying, and natural links will create themselves.
