Ranking in the Constantly Moving World of Search and Modern SEO

There are days when I feel like search engine optimization is moving faster than I can digest and I’ll never be able to stay up with modern SEO techniques and the constant changes brought forth by Google. We’ve experienced so many shifts in search that I know I’m not alone and many people feel overwhelmed as website owners and marketers. I’ve been working in internet marketing for over fifteen years. When I started with SEO it was common practice for webmasters to hide keywords in white text ... Read More

Building a Marketing Strategy Based on Data

Having access to accurate marketing data is powerful. It helps you make better business decisions because you have a clearer picture of your business, your target market, and your ability to attract new customers. With real data you have power. This is because you are creating a marketing strategy based on something tangible and not based on a passing idea or a whim. This month I had an opportunity to speak at WordCamp Chicago. While we were in the Q&A part of my presentation, I was ... Read More

Digging Deeper Into WordPress SEO Tools

A few weeks ago I published an article about maximizing SEO efforts in WordPress. I had promised a follow up post to cover additional features like automatically populating meta titles and descriptions, configuring the permalink structure, integrating Webmaster Tools, and creating XML sitemaps. Today we're digging deeper into WordPress SEO tools and covering all those additional SEO goodies. Don't worry, I won't go so far into each topic that I lose you. We'll go just deep enough to get your ... Read More

On the search side of things, Google shakes up the blogger community by wiping away many of those pretty author images in search and Yahoo ... Read More

Friday’s Marketing Roundup: Good Reads from the Week Ending November 15th

Ok I'll admit it - we've been really bad at providing our marketing roundups lately. I've been busy and we've been launching new themes and new client websites. For that I apologize and I'm going to try and get back into the habit of writing our roundups each Friday. I've changed the format up a bit and added in a new section for generic goodness. Sometimes the best articles don't have to be about WordPress or SEO. Sometimes they can just be about business. After all, business is what keeps ... Read More

Product Centric Versus Customer Centric Websites

One of my favorite features in Google Webmaster Tools is the Content Keywords section. The Content Keywords section provides a list of the most significant keywords that Google found when crawling your website. Why is this important? It provides a quick reality check of your website because it is a view of your website through the eyes of Google. It allows you to see how Google interprets the words used on your website, as well as their frequency. And while Google’s view is important, what ... Read More

The Small Business Guide to Google Webmaster Tools

When I first discovered Google Webmaster Tools I was thrilled. I was fasinated by the data it provided and it has only gotten better over the years. I love showing it to clients, as many don’t even know it exists. Okay – 99% of my clients don’t know it exists until I show it to them. And the remaining 1% had no idea how much the tool really offered. If you’re like most small business owners, you have limited time and resources to dedicate to sleuthing around in Webmaster Tools. Don’t fret! ... Read More

Stand Back! The Geeks Are Coming

Last night I met with a business partner named Scott.  Scott is an engineer and his engineering brain loves SEO.  I’ve been teaching SEO 101 while we build Scott’s website.  Last night as we moved from SEO 101 to SEO 201, Scott couldn’t understand why I didn’t do this with every client.  The truth be told, 99% of my clients don’t care.  They pay me to make sure their website and SEO are taken care of and they don’t want to worry about it. We All Make Mistakes Very few clients have Scott’s ... Read More

Keyword Research for the Average Joe

Good keyword research is imperative for organic SEO.  We SEO consultants typically view this practice as common sense, but it’s only because we do it all the time.  In the real world, keyword research isn’t necessary easy for the average marketer or webmaster. But keyword research doesn’t have to be some big crazy formula.  I read a lot of SEO articles and blog posts and the internet is full of great content and advice for performing elaborate keyword research.  While this works, the activity ...

Why You Should Treat Your Website Like the Family Dog

Friday afternoon I had a call with a client I built a website for back in March. Before I realized it, I was comparing their website to the family dog. Not a typical analogy, but it worked in the situation and the client understood the point I was trying to make. Who’s Taking Care of Fido? In my house I take care of the family dog. I’m not a big fan of our English Lab, but I’m still the one who makes sure he is fed, watered, and let in and out four hundred times a day. I am the caregiver even ... Read More

Google’s Search Results Skews Your Self Image?

What is your view of your current website traffic and Internet marketing campaigns? Are you receiving as much traffic as you’d like or are you scoring as high on your top keywords as you had originally hoped? No, this isn’t my sales pitch; there is a point to these questions. If you’re the average small business owner, you know enough about organic search engine optimization to make you dangerous. You know a little about SEO (search engine optimization) and you periodically check your keyword ... Read More

Google Degrades PageRank

Much to the surprise of many Internet marketing consultants, Google recently removed PageRank information from their Webmaster Tools.  In a response to a posting on Google’s Webmaster Central forum, Susan Moskwa stated “We've been telling people for a long time that they shouldn't focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it's the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but ... Read More
