Sometimes there is an advantage to hiring a smaller SEO firm.  This is because in some cases the firms that only do consulting lose sight of the details.  This is because they have forgotten how to take care of the details.

In this article I explain why you need to keep focus on those details and how you can do it, especially if you are one of those SEO “consultants.”

Randfish over at Seomoz.org has released a very well written FREE guide to beginner SEO.  I skimmed through most of it and was pleased to find that he covers a wide range of important topics.

Having been in this industry for as long as I have, I often forget some of the basics. Well, it’s not that I forget, it’s just that I assume that everyone else in the industry has the same knowledge level as I do.

So when I get a “newbie” asking a question like “Why are my Google results different than my clients” I have to take a step back and realize that we aren’t all equal.

Therefore in this article I’m going to answer this one seemingly simple question.  While it may be simple to those of us “in the know” this isn’t always the case with others.

With all this talk about the Trustbox, Sandbox and Trustrank many times we get overwhelmed.  One begins to wonder just how they go about building all these links from high quality authority websites.

In this article I look at one such tactic. One that may surprise you at how effective it is yet one that is sure to drive large volumes of quality links to the site in question.

There seems to be a new term emerging around the whole sandbox/trustrank issue.  In this article I look at that new term and discuss it’s implications in the SEO field.

The new term is “Trustbox” and I think it quite neatly summarizes the effect we’re seeing on Google now.

This is Part 2 of 2 on a topic I came across at cre8asiteforums.com that opens the doors to discussion on some popular SEO myths.

In this article I look at the remaining “myths” to give you my take on these issues.

I came across an interesting post at cre8asiteforums.com that opens the doors to discussion on some popular SEO myths.  Some are myths while in my opinion some are more fact than fiction.

In this article I look at a few of the “myths” to give you my take on these issues.  You may be surprised to learn that they aren’t all myths after all.

There’s been a lot of terms thrown out lately to do with how Google currently ranks sites.  Terms like “TrustRank” and “Sandbox” have been out for quite a while stirring up heated discussions in all the major SEO forums.

So I thought I’d try to shed some light on these two terms.  What exactly is TrustRank and the Sandbox and how do they affect search engine positioning?

Search engine forums have been around for years.  One of the more popular of late is the Searchenginewatch.com forum.

In this article I take a look at even more of the more popular forum topics.

It has long been speculated that Google, along with other search engines, would someday start looking at the length of your domain registrations to determine how legitimate your site is.  Well, according to Godaddy, they are starting to do just that. About 6 months ago Google applied for a patent, which they do often, thats states “Valuable (legitimate) domains are often paid for several years in advance, while doorway (illegitimate) domains rarely are used for more than a year”

With Thanksgiving just around the corner it is time to refresh your seasonal optimization if you haven’t already.

This is because the words you used to capture traffic last holiday season will not likely capture traffic this season.

In this article I look at some of the tools you can use to help improve your site for this holiday season.

All to often I come across sites that are slow or even go down for a few minutes.  Worse, I’ve had clients sites go down for days at a time due to hosting issues.

Many times the site owner does not realize how big of an impact this has on their rankings both now and into the future.

In this article we go back to the basics by looking at how a search engine indexes your site, and what impacts there will be if the crawler can not find your site.

Nothing seems to have turned the SEO world around as much as blogs.  This is because blogs initially started as personal journals.  Now however websites are beginning to realize their value in building an online reputation and helping promote a website.

In this article we look at one aspect of blogging.  That is tagging, and it’s impact on SEO now and into the future.
