I had a dig into the market this week to see if there is as much negativity as the press would like us to believe. Google Trends is perfect for this exercise, allowing us to see highs and lows of products and industries over given periods. Think outside the box with it and you might […]

Hey Rankers! Apologies for my scattered videos at the moment. Too busy making money for our clients. Wanted to talk to you about one of our long-term clients, Rapid Test Systems, which has taken a hit.

Mobile revenue has been the big winner since switching our client example from last week to Cloudflare. Traffic dropped in areas and that’s where you’ve got to be careful when judging ECR.

The right CDN (Content Distribution Network) can have a huge impact on your eCommerce business. I have always favoured Cloudflare and for good reason. I’ve always encouraged you to increase your site speed, and Cloudflare offers it in spades. A faster site means more Google crawls, which in turn means your site is fresher and […]
