My coding skills are a bit out of practice these days – I hack about in PHP a fair bit but in terms of CSS I need to brush up. So when someone said to me – can we resize a webpage into an iframe so we syndicate the content I thought no prob. And [...]

Stop Ranking for Keywords and Start Ranking for People
September 20, 2012 – 9:25 pm
It sounds trite. It sounds almost Fishkian in nature. That if you want to get high quality traffic through natural search you should stop thinking about your audience and not yourself. I left one of my early SEO jobs purely because of this beliefs : ranking for keywords is how we get people in (it’s [...]

April 21, 2012 – 3:31 pm
OK so my use of this term @ #TBUMBR (Travel Bloggers Unite – Umbria) seemed to start a bit of a panic (and TBH it was someone else who used the term pingback – not me in the first instance). Basically a “pingback” is a piece of technology that sits inside your blog and when [...]

Virgin Media Broadband Connection #RantOfTheDay
October 30, 2011 – 11:11 pm
I’m trying really hard to keep it together. I don’t think I’m winning. All day my internet connection has been bottoming out to less than I used to get on my old dial up 256 kbps connection. It doesn’t matter which device I use (3 laptops, an ipad and an iphone) always the same. Get [...]
Kick Ass Link Development needs Kick Ass People
March 22, 2011 – 11:04 pm
I’m so tired of the first rule of SEO fight club being ignored. Maybe it’s the whole concept of community not being what it once was. I have a tight knit group of friends who I share stuff with (the things I would never put on this blog or be for general consumption) and there [...]
