Lets get back To Basics – Keep it Simple

April 11, 2012 By 10 Comments
Get back to basics

We humans are perverse creatures we all seem to have a tendency to take the easiest most simple things and then try to make them difficult. Creating a niche site isn't difficult, Seo isn't difficult , Keyword research isn't difficult so why do we all (myself included) make things so difficult that we sometimes struggle to get it right? What's difficult about creating a site? Install Wordpress with a few clicks of a button, add a simple theme , add some plugins that do things we need then add content.  Voila that's it... why the hell did I then spend 2 hours yesterday getting a … [Read more...]

Monday Tip – Use The Rel=Author Tag

April 9, 2012 By 12 Comments
rel=author

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. There has been much written about it since but despite that it seems that very few people have implemented it. I could write pages about why you should be implementing rel=author but Jill Whalen has covered it really well on her High Rankings blog where she gives 5 reasons for implementing the authorship tag.   If you're thinking it's just not worth the trouble, here are 5 reasons why it's super … [Read more...]

Google Algo Changes – Is SEO Dead?

March 21, 2012 By 14 Comments
is seo dead

Another week another Algo change , at least that's what it seems  like. It seems that yesterday google instigated some major changes to the algorithm which targeted Build My Rank (BMR) and possibly other private blog networks. However there are also plans in place for Google to target "overly optimized sites" You read that right, google are planning on targeting sites that are obviously seo'd. I haven't bothered to check how bmr has affected me yet as google choose to instigate these changes while I was flying to Barcelona . So much for me having a few days away from IM! I can't … [Read more...]

How To Write a Blog Post

how to write a blog post

{EAV:b5ea199a35c60514} (ignore this..just validating something ) Many people probably think that I sit down and just write a blog post in a single stream of consciousness. Well you'd be partly right.  Some of the posts here are like that,  I have an idea for a post and sit down and write it then post it. 45 minutes job done. However if you want to write a blog post properly then you are going to have to set aside some time. A good original blog post takes time and effort to get right. I am talking 3 or 4 hours here. However the effort is worth it., a good blog post like that will rank … [Read more...]
