You have probably heard many children ask the common question of "Why am I doing this?" but it is not asked enough in the internet marketing world. Often we become caught up in the latest fad or craze. I know I have joined the mob mentality and gone with the flow several times. A handful of people start doing something and many others try to copy them. But before you...
I'm sure we have all seen it, or have had it happen to us. You are doing a search on Google and you get a results page that says "Did you mean, ####" at the top of the page. I firmly believe that this is a helpful tool to many people who are either horrible spellers, or had a momentary "brain-fart"! But what do you do when this affects your own search engine traffic?...

Ok I have been living under a rock I guess because I just got an email from Third Door Media and found out that SMX Social is coming to da LBC. I have always thought that Long Beach, CA would be a great place for an SEO convention. I live downtown and I am in the industry, so it seems a little selfish, but really if I think of it from the perspective of how much fun everyone is going to hav...
