Bringing the War in Afghanistan to a Responsible End

Yesterday afternoon, in the White House Rose Garden, President Obama talked about the United States' next steps in Afghanistan, and how we'll bring our longest war to a responsible end:

Over the last several years, we've worked to transition security responsibilities to the Afghans. One year ago, Afghan forces assumed the lead for combat operations. Since then, they've continued to grow in size and in strength, while making huge sacrifices for their country. This transition has allowed us to steadily draw down our own forces -- from a peak of 100,000 U.S. troops, to roughly 32,000 today.

The President announced yesterday that 22,000 more troops will return home by the end of the year, ending the U.S. combat mission in December 2014.

Take the SEO Expert Quiz and Rule the Internet

Take the SEO Expert Quiz and Rule the Internet


Take the SEO Expert Quiz and Rule the Internet

Posted: 27 May 2014 05:17 PM PDT

Posted by Cyrus-Shepard

You are master of the keyword.

You create 1,000 links with a single tweet. You rank for the word "rank." Google engineers ask for your approval before updating their algorithm.

You, my friend, are an SEO expert.

Ready for fun? Here at Moz we gathered our wits (it didn't take very long) and created a new quiz to test our SEO knowledge.

Based on a quiz that our co-founder Rand first published back in 2005, at the dawn of electronics and lighter-than-air travel, we now present to you the new and improved SEO Expert Quiz.

The quiz contains 50 questions and takes about 15 minutes to complete. The questions are randomized so no two people will get the exact same quiz with the same order of questions.

Here's what to expect.

1. The quiz is hard! 

Like, astronaut training hard. Very few people score 100%. The breakdown of performance looks like this:

  • 0-40% SEO Newbie: You rank on page 7, but are aiming to move up.
  • 41-60% SEO Novice: Young, but strong in the ways of the Force, you are.
  • 61-75% SEO Pro: The traffic is pouring in!
  • 76-90% SEO Expert and Formula One race car driver
  • 91-100% Lord of the Internet, Master of the SEO Realm

2. For fun only!

The Expert Quiz isn't meant to be a rulebook of the Internet. You may even disagree with some of the answers—and you may be right!

We work in a constantly evolving field with lots of room for interpretation at the top levels. Discussion and debate between very smart people is how we learn and grow our expertise.

The only reward for finishing in first place is supreme bragging rights. If you win your office pool, you may get free lunch for the next month. Please participate and help our knowledge grow, but don't take it too seriously.

3. MVP: next steps

We built this out of passion for testing our SEO knowledge. If you like the quiz, we'd love to build a more robust version that saves your score, and even gives you a badge to display on your user profile. Let us know what you think.

Ready to get started?

Don't forget to show off your score when you finish. Let us know in the comments below! What surprised you, which question did you totally ace, and what should we ask next time?

Rock on, SEO Sensei.


Big thanks to Devin, Derric, Josh, Carin, Shelly and Rand for the hard work putting this together.

What's on your agenda (a summer seminar)

If you're about to leap, working on something important and generous, perhaps it makes sense to come to my office for a week this summer.

I'm hosting a seminar for 15 people in late July. You can find out all the details right here.

It's for people early in their career, people with a proven track record of standing up and picking themselves, of doing work that matters. Tuition is free.

Applications are due right away.

If you know someone who might benefit from this, please let them know.

Seth's Blog : The problem with hit radio

 

The problem with hit radio

When you only listen to the top 40, you're letting the crowd decide what you hear.

And if you consume nothing but the most liked, the most upvoted, the most viral, the most popular, you've abdicated responsibility for your incoming. Most people only read bestselling books. That's what makes them bestsellers, after all.

The web keeps pushing the top 40 on us. It defaults to 'sort by popular,' surfacing the hits, over and over.

Mass markets and math being what they are, it's likely that many of the ideas and products you consume in your life are in fact, consumed because they're the most popular. It takes a conscious effort to seek out the thing that's a little less obvious, the choice that's a little more risky.

Popular is not the same important, or often, not the same as good.
