The Best Keyword Research Tool Has Just Arrived – Keyword Blaze Pro

April 4, 2012 By Mark 26 Comments

That's a bold claim in the title isn't it! I am not one for hype but I stand by that claim 100% Keyword Blaze Pro is superb at what it does. I also make no apologies for blatantly promoting a product in a blog post, in fact I suspect I'd upset more people if I didn't promote this considering how good it is and how cheap it is... Over the past 7 years online I've seen keyword tools come and go, they work for a while and then something breaks and they just aren't as effective as they once were. Micro Niche Finder was superb for a long time and is responsible for earning me a lot of … [Read more...]

Since google changed the algo last week (zzzz Booooring) there have been numerous posts about the death of SEO (Yes I know I wrote one myself!) and people stating half truths and … [Read more...]

Google Algo Changes – Is SEO Dead?

March 21, 2012 By Mark 14 Comments

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...]

March 16, 2012 By Mark 11 Comments

{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...]
