Welcome back Rankers! I wanted to show you a couple of things this week. First of all we’re going to talk a bit about President Donald Trump because there’s some good data around. This is a Tweet I did to @realDonaldTrump last week. You can see the spike and the number of Tweets over a […]
Crawl Budget Explained Welcome back Rankers! There was a story a couple of weeks ago about ‘Crawl Budget’. There has been a lot of talk around Crawl Budget, hence Google doing a story on it on webmasters.googleblog.com. I’ve done shows about this before and have spoken about it, but this is the first time I’ve […]
Welcome back Rankers! Hope you’re all having a good week. An interesting thing has happened this week. Over the weekend, Google started sending out warning messages to website owners from Google Search Console. Now if you don’t have Google Search Console set up, then you wouldn’t have received one of these messages. So Google is […]
Welcome back Rankers! I thought I’d take a look at Google Trends this week because there are a few elections happening and, as we know from the U.S. Presidential elections from the past twelve years, a good predictor of that is Google Trends. So I thought it would be a good exercise to show you […]

So we all know by now that we have to work towards getting HTTPS across your entire site, as from January Google is going to start issuing warnings in the browser that states […]
Welcome back Rankers! I’m asking for help this week, as ever since the last Google updates, and I’m not talking about Penguin, I’m referring to the undocumented updates that were reported earlier (Maybe possum update?) . We saw an update around the 1st October then another around the 6th October. Since then we’ve noticed some […]
Welcome back Rankers! If you had a look at your analytics this week and you saw a great big spike in traffic, you may very well have felt a swell of pride at your newfound popularity. The reality, unfortunately, is that you are not. Sorry. What’s been happening is that there is a lot of referral spam […]
Yesterday one of our client’s hosting companies accidentally applied https to their site. It was via the popular server management software WHM. Apparently there has been an update recently for “auto SSL“. If your hosting company installs that update, it will automatically apply SSL and update it the certificate as required. That is a BIG issue if […]
