ComScore has released their round up of the top search properties for October and it comes as no surprise that Google is topping the list once again.

Here are the facts: in September, Americans conducted […]

Are you speaking my language?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

What does Google, Wikipedia and Cisco have in common? Other than being highly recognisable brands, they all have websites that speak in many tongues. In fact, these sites offer content in over 35 languages.
As the French would say, “Incroyable!!!”.
How can you determine what language strategy you should follow for your website?
For new websites, you need […]

Googling Zeus: The Search Gods’ Pantheon

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

When an A-list blogger like Phil Butler at Profy spins a good tale about hakia vs. Google, Powerset against the rest of the world, or even Astro Versus Scooby Doo, his readers praise him. We feel better knowing there are search engines out there that will provide better results somewhere in the future. And […]

I Make You Smile
and you give back so much!
I would like to thank Kim for the “You Make Me Smile” award and give back the link love.
And this reminds me to write an entry about blog awards… with their pros and cons - particularly why you should be careful with some of them. This will […]

Naked in a Public Garden

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

“You are what you post” says Jay Ovittore in his personal blog. And what great words these are! The more I think about it, the more I see their deep meaning, veracity… sense. So why don’t we all make them a motto of sorts and start living under their shield. Because this is what these […]

Secrets of Blog SEO: Conversation

Monday, September 24th, 2007

One of the saddest so-called SEO advices is “don’t pass link juice” to other sites. Many bloggers still use “rel=nofollow” in their entries to prevent their page rank from dripping away. This is one of those selfish acts many webmasters do to please Google. And the WWW revolves around Google (?!)…
What these webmasters don’t know […]

SEO and the VS Dilemma

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Some “vs” articles are pointless and pretty confusing. The very definition of the term points to a fight of sorts. And usually where there is a fight, there must be a winner.
We could talk about truce, yet truce doesn’t really happen when the sword of discord gets buried, but when one loses the power […]

When our clients make an inquiry for SEO services the first thing we want to know is who we are dealing with. We send them a set of questions, some completely unrelated to the service we provide at the first glance.
The questions are not always the same. If we get some of our answers by […]

Google and The Eiffel Tower

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Both are matters of debate. To think that the Eiffel Tower was originally planned to be built in Canada, for the Universal Exposition of 1888! Well, since the Canadians didn’t want it (and back then, many French voices criticized the Iron Giant as well) France got it and voila, Paris became legend. Just like that. […]

Linking Strategies - The Me vs. Us Controversy

Monday, August 27th, 2007

She wasn’t the first to say it, but the first time I read it in relationship with SEO was when Liz at Successful Blog said,“Reach out with respect”. And it always struck me as a common sense, down to earth, friendly thing to do.
This phrase actually comes from her entry Link Anchor Text: SEO and […]
