Are Paid Links Acceptable

I’ve been chatting to a company recently about helping them with their SEO efforts – they’re looking to do the content and I’ll be doing the link development. Is an equitable split of work and they’re a reasonably well known brand – leaders within their field – just lacking generic positioning. And as we all [...]

The Great Online Advert Swindle

God I’m getting annoyed today – was happy when I got into the office but now I’m angry and getting angrier. And today the object of my impatience and wrath are website adverts. Not the crappy little popups telling me I’m the millionth visitor or that I have spyware and should click on some Windows [...]

Link Love on Friday

I thought I should start posting here again as my other website is having a makeover. So in terms of todays post I’m just gonna stick in some links and blab a bit about why I like these sites. WP Themes Free – Ronseal website (it does what it says on the tin) and gives [...]

Are Link Directories any use?

I’m going to test them and see I’ve always used link directories. They’re quick and cheap ways to get links. But that’s the problem – if they’re cheap, easy and quick that means the links they deliver are usually of really low quality. Unless you’ve got a reasonably old website with a bit of good [...]

Does everyone know what Search Engine Optimization is?

Sorry for not posting for a while. Been dead busy and made some good inroads into all the accounts I’ve been battering into and thought I’d give an insight into what I’ve achieved in the last wee while. As I have a ‘real’ SEO job and do some stuff free lance (and I dont know [...]

Why does your website not rank in Google?

I’ve just found evidence to prove the main reason behind why so many websites dont rank effectively in Google. This is probably the truth! Nuff said.

Using links to improve user experiences

Quick gripe for Monday. Noticed today that BigMouthMedia have a Tumblr page these days – only noticed because it links to a post I did previously. Anyway from this I found my way to their Twitter page and from here to their new homepage with updated flash movie. So here I am with a wee [...]

When on earth will web developers start using search engine friendly redirects?

Once again, for about the tenth time in as many weeks, I’ve found redirects on websites made by supposedly good web companies using the wrong kind of redirects and F**king up my clients results when they launch a new website. All the way through any redesign/development project the most important thing to be aware of [...]
