Linking to Wikipedia is lazy and a disservice to someone else who really deserves the link!

13 July 2007 – 11:40 am

Imagine you’re Google for a moment (I accept that’s not an easy challenge!). Your job is to do the “right” job and fairly and wisely and correctly rank web pages from all across the internet on any given search term. What a job!
So you refine, refine, refine and refine some more a funky-as “algorithm” that [...]

How to get on Google’s front page within a few hours. No joke!

11 April 2007 – 10:40 pm

About three hours ago, I posted my Case Study on RemodelingMySpace.com. Then, looking at my stats just now I noticed someone coming to my site from a Google India search on the phrase “case study”. And I figured it had to be a glitch in the matrix, because Google a) doesn’t index that fast, as [...]

Case Study: How to run a great competition on your blog

11 April 2007 – 6:42 pm

When Google forgets about your blog

11 April 2007 – 3:09 pm

Last week, for a day or so, Google pretty much forgot about my blog. *gasp*
Keywords and keyword phrases that I ranked really well on… well, they just disappeared. And my referral traffic from Google slowed to a pathetic trickle.
I was more than a little worried. Yes, I know Google can do weird things for short [...]

New design, new network, new title, new underwear!

21 March 2007 – 4:12 pm

I got to bed at 5am this morning. But I put my head on my pillow knowing I had accomplished what I set out to achieve: a new site design which I can be proud to call my own… not a Wordpress theme by someone else.
I’ll quickly summarise all the new stuff that’s going on [...]

Another stupid SEO strategy: the filipino link builder who can’t write

15 March 2007 – 9:59 pm

Please note: You are welcome to read this post, but please be aware that I have accepted responsibility for the fact that it is inappropriately abusive and not written in the spirit of encouragement and edification which I would have hoped marked all my writing on this blog. I have unreservedly apologised to the targets [...]

How Darren Rowse can convince Internet marketers to blog

6 March 2007 – 1:38 pm

In today’s post, Darren Rowse at Problogger asks:
“If you had the attention of 400 internet marketers for an hour and were given the brief to talk to them about blogging - where would you take the session?”
It’s a great question, and a great opportunity to lay some important points out on the table. And why [...]
