Small Steps to SEO Success

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

“You need to be in shape to get to the top, and stay there”. This was the slogan for a television ad that ran in the 1970’s, showing a group of competitors climbing the stairs of a skyskraper.
I always was amazed with that commercial, probably because where I grew up, the tallest building was a […]

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.

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 […]

Building Trust, Reputation and Rapport – A “How To” Perspective

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

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.
