What's the oldest active domain on the Internet?
What was the first registered domain?
What's the oldest active link?
What other old web stuff can you think of?

And this is what I see on the oldest domain in the world: http://symbolics.com/ ???
I hate what internet has become.

Here's a back story on the oldest Networked email: http://openmap.bbn.com/~tomlinso/ray/firstemailframe.html
According to Wikipedia and itself, http://symbolics.com/ was the first registered .com domain name and is still active.
Someone could argue that the oldest active link is a telegraph line that's still hung and running somewhere, but DNS in general would be a better, and more precise still the invention of HTML during 1990-93 with anchors.

What Does Your "Campaign" Process Look Like?
Hey Moz Community!! Looking to get a broader view of your own "campaign" process after the initial audit and fixes/implementation of recommendations with a new client. What do you look for/target first? What type of actions/deliverable items do you take have to start optimizing? Hoping to add to and/or improve my own process and see how everyone else plans and implements a campaign! Thanks!! 🙂

Product Schema - Not supported if you don't actually sell the product online...
Based on this answer from Google, http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146750 you can't use the product schema if a customer has to make the purchase offline or at another retailer. Does anyone know why they set it up this way? Has anyone ever tried to use product markup on a website when the product is purchased offline? Also, is there another solution or another markup that would apply? Thanks!

Question on Google's Differentiation
Hi everyone, We have a short question that probably has a very long answer: What are all the ways that Google differentiates one search result from another? This is really important for us to know and, up until now, we can't find a really good and complete source that explains this. Thank you in advance.

SEO hosting (EU/Spanish IP's) any1?
Hello all, I'm currently trying to find a great hosting company which can offer a fast and stable service and more important, with the possibility of geolocalizing IP's of Europe and concretely for Spain. I've found Ixwebhosting but they only offer US Ip's, as their datacenters are there. I don't know if it's the same thing outside spain, but here the hosting companies only use to have a single "C-class" range so even buying them different IP's doesn't help that much, and it isn't cheap (2€/month/ip...). So if you know someone offering what I'm looking for (or really close to it) drop a line, I'll appreciate your help! 🙂
