ShareTweet Why are people so freaking nasty? Seriously…WHY? “I’m not going down on my knees begging you to adore me Can’t you see it’s misery and torture for me?” Depeche Mode, Shake the Disease My link builders are truly lovely people. Well, most of them are. Anyway, they get abused like nobody’s bidness. I’ve reviewed every piece of correspondence that they’re involved with, too, and there’s just nothing there to cause someone to spew the venom that they do, based on getting a polite email.

Optimisation Techniques for Christmas
ShareTweet It happens every year and yet we’re so often not prepared. We’ve planned the content, organised how it will be executed and yet still we don’t seem to get it done in time.

Others stick to a rigid, time-optimised plan, executing to strict guidelines within certain geographic regions with a very specific target [...]
