Share This is the third of the SEO Chicks 101 series that Lisa introduced a couple of weeks ago with her delve into canonicalisation issues. The second post in the series was Nicholas look at data analysis This post was inspired by Lesley Cutts, owner of one of my favourite sites www.Goodnessdirect.co.uk who posted what I thought was an interesting response to a statement I made on twitter. Now not to make you think I’m disorganised, but I had lost some notes I had made on a keyword strategy for a client (I found them in the end & all was well), and Lesley commented that she wouldn’t know where to begin writing down a keyword strategy, as it seemed [...]

Moonlighting, Pilates & Regulation
Share There are a number of things that have led me to this post. I first started thinking about it following Judith’s post on SEO Moonlighting, then I had an experience with my pilates instructor and her website, that has my blood boiling still a week later, and finally Judith turned the SEO accreditation strategy session into a blog post which cemented my ideas and suddenly this post came together. I had planned for this to be the third in the SEO chicks 101 series, but this had to be written (in the way that blog posts often do) so I’m afraid you will have to wait until Thursday if you want to learn more about Keyword strategies. For now [...]

SEO – Where Does It End?
Share When I write about SEO, or when I perform it, it is often broken up into a set of discreet tasks. SEO is this, SEO is that, SEO is the other. Yadda yadda yadda.

Social media is the darling child of the moment with businesses hot to try this new medium. Social media, we are told, is all about engagement. I have always said that creating passionate advocates works offline as well as online and social media is not a cure all. It certainly hooks in to SEO though. Paid search is one of the [...]

The Long Cold Wintery Days of SEO
Share Long, cold winters often lead to baby booms 9 months later. During the winter, lovers have no other distractions to prevent them from showing off their bedroom prowess. Of course, each lover’s prowess is probably a measure of how many winters the lover has lived through, and how many times he’s been allowed to show off. His mastery of the love-making process can generally be broken down into three primary stages: Stage One: Awkward, clumsy, bumbling idiot Stage Two: By the book, paint by numbers, gets it technically right Stage Three: Smooth operator, graceful, accomplished, expert The long, cold wintery days hold the same lures for SEOs. Trapped inside, bundled in warm, fuzzy pajamas or long-johns, the SEO prepares [...]

Things For Which The Internet Sucks
Share If there is one (more) thing that makes no sense to me whatsoever, it’s international power standards. Electricity. That which spews out of the wall when you plug shit in. Juice, and not that of the link variety. It’s the same everywhere. My stuff runs out of batteries at the same rate in every country, yet multiple countries have different power standards. Forgive me for not knowing their technical names, but the prong things that stick into the wall are not the same worldwide. There is also that voltage problem. I am going to England tomorrow and thus I have to deal with it. I have one hundred little gadgets to take with me, but one has caused slightly [...]
