SEO Blog
Bing? What? Stay with me. When I read this article about Google reading my emails I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Sure I’d always suspected it but against my better judgement I went with the cloud email a couple of years back. It made me stop and think how much […]
I always find it odd the things people type into Google. Google tells us that one in five search phrases have never been typed into Google before. 20%! That’s crazy. This is one of the reasons it’s so important to keep creating content. Every piece of copy you publish is another opportunity for you to […]
About five weeks ago I wrote a series of blog posts detailing my attempts to rank for an SEO related phrase. It took 72 hours to get on page one and then by doing nothing it went to the no.2 spot and stayed there. Step 1. Write some good content The era of getting a […]
I see one of these articles every other week, proclaiming the death of SEO. I usually ignore them because they are just headline grabbers.

We actually got the to no.4 through just using creative file names and tagging with the word Botox but then our client decided they wanted the word […]
Last week we noticed that one of our clients had a page deindexed by Google. It happened to be a duplicate page. With the continual roll outs of Panda, we have seen that content duplication is a signal of a bad quality website and now it looks like Google is trying to clean up its […]
I know I’ve spoken before about SEO preparation when developing a new site but in the last week or so I’ve seen some massive but unfortunately common real world examples of SEO being jeopardised because of new web site development. 1.
