Monday Tip – Use The Rel=Author Tag

April 9, 2012 By Mark 12 Comments

Last year Google introduced a new tag called rel=author, the purpose of the tag was to identify the author of a piece of content and assign the authors image to it in the rankings.

If you're thinking it's just not worth the trouble, here are 5 reasons why it's super … [Read more...]

March 7, 2011 By Mark 10 Comments

There has been so much written about the Google "Farmer" update that you probably are bored to death with it. It's not like Google don't do regular updates, this is just another long line of many.

Will Video Kill Article Marketing?

February 12, 2010 By Mark 4 Comments

You can't have but noticed that every marketer and his dog is pushing the upcoming Video Boss product..(we'll almost everyone). Given the people who are promoting it they generally don't get out of bed for less than $1000 commission per sale you can bet that you'll need to find $2000 to buy the product. There is no doubt that the videos are compelling but I must take issue with the claims of the videos being responsible for millions of dollars worth of sales...surely it is the guru's who pushed the products that should claim that honor!
