Anyone have any thoughts on Third Tribe?
-
Is it valuable and how is the community?

Take a look at http://www.seobythesea.com/ for nitty-gritty about patents and how they might affect search. I also read http://searchengineland.com/ for their detailed articles and http://www.seroundtable.com/ for breaking news about what people in the forums (especially webmaster help forums) are saying and new features the search engines are implementing.

Thanks for asking the question. I was contemplating joining myself. And thank you Mike for your excellent reply. I seem to find my best information on the SEOmoz blogs and Q & A Forum.
Are there other resources that are as useful as SEOMoz? I find most sites just re-hash stuff I already now - they don't tend to get down into the weeds like the Moz does.

I was a member for several months. I ended up canceling.
The content was pretty valuable/informative (the periodic interviews and associated materials). I simply found that I wasn't getting much value out of the community forums. And, in fact, the forums were filled with a lot of hot air - people who really hadn't figured out the online marketing game, but were happy to offer their advice nonetheless.
The folks at Copyblogger make great stuff - I recommend listening to their Internet Marketing for Smart People radio show. They get some great guests (Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Steven Pressfield, etc), and Robert Bruce, who hosts, does a great job interviewing.
You'll find some similar good audio content inside the Third Tribe, with some deeper discussions on the nuts/bolts of getting started with a content marketing strategy. But you'll also find a lot of very basic information that, depending on your experience level, may not float your boat.
If what you're looking for is more sophisticated discussions - the kind of higher level of online marketing education you'll get here at SEOmoz - I think Third Tribe is more geared for beginners on the whole.

Panda softening? Any thoughts on the detail?
At PubCon 2013 I notice Matt Cutts mentioned Panda softening and I wonder if anyone who was there has any greater insight into what they are thinking? Is Google finally responding to the overwhelming number of webmaster complaints about Panda? What sort of issues might they be responding to? "We are looking at Panda and seeing if we can find some additional signals, and we think we've got some to help refine things for sites that are kind of in the border zone, the gray area a little bit, And so if we can soften the affect a little bit, for those sites, that we believe have got some additional signals of quality, that will help sites that were previously affected - to some degree." All I am seeing on the discussion forums so far is more blah blah blah...

Anyone else know much about the Google Pirate penalty?
The Google 'Pirate' (no official name) seems to have gone largely undiscussed since it was launched last - Fri 10th August http://insidesearch.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/an-update-to-our-search-algorithms.html. The idea of it is to ensure those 'Pirating' content or abusing trademarks e.g. fake ugg boot sites and file sharing sites do not appear higher in the search results than the genuine websites. Google is using DMCA take down requests for labeling sites as Pirate and demote their rankings, Im amazed not even seomoz has covered the subject yet as far as I can see, yet it is a hugely important new update, albeit affecting a relatively small number of sites now, and in some cases (at least one I know first hand) seemingly without justification (the example I know is not a file sharing, fake goods, trademark abusive site at all.) Google updating its search algorithm based on DMCA take down requests seems a bit strong - these are takedown requests, not legal proof that a site is infringing a trademark. A real weapon for negative SEO? Anyone else had experience of the pirate update or know much more about it? Outside Danny Sullivan I dont see many SEO folk covering it. Heres my own insights into it and what ive learned about what (only innocently) affected sites should do to appeal http://www.andy-maclean.net/the-google-pirate-dmca-guidance/

Anyone interested in meeting up in Central NJ next week?
So I realize it's a bit of a short notice, but April 24 (next Tuesday), I will be hosting a Joomla users meetup in conjunction with Blogsvertise. The first get together is going to be more of a social meetup, with not much specifically planned. Topics that will be discussed: Joomla - everything from basics to advanced questions SEO - open discussion, Q+A, networking Bloggers - Bloggers will be there, and can connect with other bloggers/companies. Anything else web related as well. The event is going to be hosted at the Blogsvertise office in East Brunswick NJ. There is going to be some free pizza and snacks, and should be a good networking event. In the future we aim to get more organized, and have guest speakers and presentations, but for the first one we want to gauge people's interest, and see what they would want to hear presentations on. If you are interested you can reply here, or shoot me an email at vforvinnie at gmail dot com. My cell is 848.992.3171 but I won't be able to talk until after 5pm during the week. It is going to start at 6:30 and will probably run for a few hours. Cheers, Vinnie

Anyone seen any dramatic changes in SERPs 18th Feb?
Hi Guys, Wondering if there has been an algorithm update or new Panda released today? Not seen any news in Google yet however noticed fair shuffle of all results in my niche, particularly in the top 3. The main take I've had from the brief research is that the brands in the niche have popped up a few spots and blogs / affiliate sites etc have dropped. Results noticed using Google.co.uk
