Every so often an SEO blogger breaks away from their everyday banter and does a piece on hiring the right SEO or SEO team for your website.  They usually go down the usual topics, go with the company whose goals match your own, get examples, get references, but then they throw in do your research [...]

Over at the WordStream blog, we pride ourselves on our vibrant community of commenters—spam commenters that is. Sure, we have a modest but smart, loyal, and helpful group of real people who leave feedback and commentary on our posts, but they cower in number next to the army of spammers. Here are the ten classes [...]

A.k.a Some shit you’d better get straight The only reason I am not more active at this blog is because there just aren’t enough hours in the day for all the shit I have to do each week. That is not to be confused with the fact that there is any lack …

I have had this on the boil for a while now and I find it resurfaces from time to time. Funny enough it coincides just when Google makes any type of change to its results, services or what have you. I’m surprised it don’t happen every time they change the logo on the damn …

Let the LDA Google Games Begin The LSI myth is all grown up! Here I go again… and seriously, I just can’t fucking help me’self. Ya know? I’ve spent many years defending the flame against those dumb ass people pretending to be SEOs. In particular, the ever popular ‘Dave Bait’ that is Latent …
