Are you a comment spammer?

First of all if you do not know what comment spamming is then let me give you an example.  Have you ever been reading someones blog, and you see a random comment like, “nice blog, check out my casino site”  or something like that and there is a link or a URL left …  If you [...]

Index-able content and the keywords that go with them.

This post will be pretty simple, but its an area that most would be (SEM) Search Engine Marketers get wrong. Without going into huge detail about the different tags, or meta on your pages I want to make a simple point when going after keywords in your content. Here are a few points to make [...]

Is there such a thing as a successful PPC Campaign?

Many SEO’s will not flat out tell you that they hate PPC (Pay Per Click) and anything related to it, but they will not tell you its great either. Several factors lead me to belive (being an SEO) that natural is still and will always remain the way to go for a truly successful business. [...]

Funny Search Engine Picture

I was shown this by a friend today and got enough of a kick out of it that I wanted to share it with everyone. Oh how its sad, but isn’t this what its coming to? ENJOY!

Splash Pages (Yes, they still are a bad thing!)

Question:  Is it bad to have a splash page on my website? I can’t begin to tell you how many times I am asked this question and everytime I am amazed at the way people think.  I think they were bad in the 90s and they are still bad now.  There is no place for [...]

Looks like no more Live-PR (RK)

Today in reading MC answers to all the questions he gave the community the opportunity to ask, I found the question and answers that I had wondered most about.  Really what live pr or (RK) is and why are the tools that some developed to show this so called future page rank no longer working [...]

Robots.txt file and how/when/why to use it.

What is a Robots.txt file and is it important? The Robots.txt file is a file that is included in the root directory of your website and it tells crawlers (search engine spiders) what they can visit and what they can’t visit. You may be saying to yourself, “why wouldn’t I want a search engine to [...]

RSS Feeds

Question:  Can RSS feeds help me get better ranking on my website because the content is always changing and staying fresh? Rss feeds will do nothing to help improve your rankings as far as what I gathered from the SES New York 2006 when talking to the Google SES Feedback Team.  Many people that I [...]
