Keyword Cannibalization and How to Handle It — Keyword cannibalization (no matter how awfully terrifying it may sound) is a widely-spread website internal information structure problem that occurs when multiple subpages are (heavily) targeting one and the same key term. Very often webmasters are unaware of any keyword cannibalization problems throughout the site - for example, (partial) internal duplicate content issues caused by the site CMS (e.g. pagination causes multiple pages with one and the same title) can account for it.

Tales from the Interview: Persistence is Key and The Nightmare Dream Job — Persistence is Key After two years, Thomas B. had become somewhat bored with his job. He was the first developer the small TV station had ever hired, and while he enjoyed building a PHP-based CMS that they'd use internally, over time his job had essentially been reduced to babysitting the web site. He accepted another offer and told his boss about his plans to leave. Since the CMS had been built from the ground up and Thomas was the only one who knew everything about the system, he was an integral part of the interviewing and hiring process. His boss...
