Yesterday around 5pm, I noticed myself getting sick - I had a run in with Dax from Webguerrilla, who had just come back from the London Free Clinic, where he was told that he "had a virus. Nothing to do but wait... Sorry old chap." Now I've got the bloody infection, have lost my voice, am speaking on the analytics panel in a few hours and woke up to find this note on Scott's bed: ...
The debate continues to wage within the SEM family as to whether SEO is rocket science. Somewhere along the way, it seems that this has become a question of literals? This is certainly a great position to be in if you are on the opposing side of the debate since it takes away the relative meaning of the statement and simply leaves a true or false statement. So if we are stuck in this li...
My mornings start off virtually the same every work day. First, quickly browse and see how our Google/Yahoo/MSN paid search accounts are going and second, check the latest news from England about the Premiership league and my team, Manchester United. Today was a bit different then other days. I noticed something intriguing and whimsical. The ...
SEO is not for me because our site doesn’t get many visitors or transactions The statement alone answers why you need search engine optimisation, and you would be amazed with the amount of people who see this as valid reason for NOT implementing a search engine marketing campaign.

Just a bit of fun here but does anyone else notice that valentines google logo reads as googe? Looking at www.google.co.uk/ there is a chocolate covered strawberry in the shape of a G but noL ... I dont think the stalk of the strawberry is an L though. ...
London's been a bit of whirlwind for all of the mozzers. My first two nights here featured the same thrilling insomnia that characterized my last visit to London - remember these? Luckily, at this point, I'm well rested and able to cognitiv...
This afternoon while logging into one of my Gmail accounts, a window popped up asking me if I wanted to make Gmail my default program for when I clicked on e-mail address links on websites. I'm not sure how long this has gone on, but this afternoon was the first time I noticed it. Gmail offering itself as a default option for e-mail links makes it seem like it is asserting its e-ma...
Except for those lucky few who use SEO to make huge amounts of money for themselves on a daily basis, most of us have to deal with clients - either internal & extarnel. And a large part of dealing with those clients is about managing their expectations. Often people who ...
As I attend multiple search marketing related conferences and trade shows (SES, PubCon, etc.) every year, I always take a closer look at the speakers and how they present the information. One might put you to sleep while another gets you going as if you just drank 3 cans of Red Bull (peace of garbage in my opinion). Anyway, I know it’s easy to critique when you&rsq...
I was doing a bit of work from home this weekend when I noticed Google's next move in it's ongoing battle to take over the world (or at least that part of it which resides on computers). Checking an email in my Gmail account from a colleague who had sent me a Word document I had a new choice about how I wished to view this document....
I'm no Rand Fishkin.I'll just be honest, I'm no Rand Fishkin -- sure I want to be, I'm about to take out an ad during Smallville, right after I convince my girlfriend to start watching Smallville. But I have a day-job. Sure, it partly involves SEO, but mostly it's writing and speaking to clients. Any focused SEO I do is strictly consulting on a freela...
Ok, hopefully somebody had delt with this in the past and can lend some advice. We are in an arena that is filled with slime (credit repair). I made the decision to enter this arena after a few years of retirement for a few reasons.a) Massive Market - Nearly 85% of Americans have bad credit.b) The competitors are all slime (literally)- I saw this as an opportunity to bring to the ...
