Over the past couple of weeks there has been discussions going on around the way that Google.co.uk result sets are being formed to do with “search engine optimisation” and “search engine optimization”. Two of the better posts come from Sean @ Hobo and Andrew Girdwood from BMM (yes they’re dofollow links to competing sites – [...]

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 just [...]

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

There is no point in getting too angry too often. And when it comes to PPC I rarely get angry or feel any other emotion. Everything in PPC can generally be scoped, planned, projected, dissected to within an inch of its ROI driven life. To me personally that makes it a bit dull – its [...]

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 [...]

As mentioned in previous post you can turn off the sandboxing in Google Chrome to stop it conflicting with Symantec Endpoint Protection. However this is really a bit of a hack and as the sandbox is one of the cool things in Google Chrome turning it off isn’t really a great solution. As sandboxing means [...]
