I’ve been lucky enough to have some amazing search related conversations over the last few months and I want to share some of the gems that constantly get talked about or used from folks who get down dirty and do the work. So one of our recently conversations was about their favorite tools. I didn’t…
I wanted to expand on the excellent SEJ post about link building with charities. There is another method that can also help people in need and help you build links as well, Project Sponsorship. I know the debate on buying links will not end until they stop working but Matt Cutts even mentioned sponsorships as…
As one of my many new year’s resolutions I was doing some house cleaning on my sites and stumbled upon this post I wrote back in 2007 about Google’s IP Exclusion tool. I think it’s a topic that needs to be revisited. I’ve seen consistent increase in competition and CPC’s across my client base for…
