If it weren’t for the fact that everyone used Google I’d be in a position not to care about it. But unfortunately I’m not in that position and currently I’m getting fed up with it. Google Losing Pages – in the last couple of weeks I’ve seen more and more pages being ‘lost’ by Google. [...]

Another example of Google Local being rubbish
It is to Google eternal disservice that the local results for queries delivers such utter rubbish within its result set – too much rubbish. People who are not helping me get to useful data filling up the entire system or trying to get affiliate commissions just wasting what can be a really useful service. I’ve [...]
Intelligence (Beta) option in Google Analytics
I’ve just logged into Google Analytics, and found a new option just below the dashboard option listed as Intelligence Beta. Can’t find anything about it on the Google Blog It would appear to allow the functionality to set trigger points for the website in relation to the traditional Google Analytics metrics and dimensions.

Online Google Analytics Training
Just got an email from PPC Andy about this Google offering online training in Google Analytics.

Google Chrome – Crashing with Symantec (Part 2)

Blogging Rule 2 – Dont Steal Content
Content is what drives visitors to your website. Interesting content will keep people coming back. I see no problem with joining an online debate and starting a similar thread. But for god sake please be original. I just got a comment by the guy/gal that runs howtogettrafficonblogs.blogspot.com. Decent enough little comment. Unfortunately for them I’m [...]
SEO Spam and Saving peoples jobs
Ok. Was running a quick backlink check on some clients and a legacy client who I used to work for is in there. And there links jumped – nigh on doubled so I get a wee twinkle in my eye and start trying to work out why. Lo and behold their new SEO company, the [...]
Abuse your PPC to make more money in SEO
After years of looking down my nose at PPC and seeing it as cheap, easy and little more than a bidding war that burns cash faster than the KLF on a beach I’ve came to the conclusion I was right. Maybe not the derision I feel for PPC but certainly the rest. The change has [...]
