DON’T PANIC! Some good advice from one of my favourite authors, the late Douglas Adams. Google made some changes last week which has sent a lot of folk into panic mode. You may remember a few weeks back I told you that you should go and claim your Google places entry as Google had told […]

One of the things a WordPress site does well is alert search engines and directories when you publish new content. This alerts a lot of other sites & content bots to your content. Using Google Webmaster tools you can track which keywords trigger auto backlinking sites to link you and maybe give you some ideas […]

I told you recently I was interviewed on Peter Switzer’s show Grow Your Business with Claire Hatten from Google & Simon Van Wyk from Hothouse Interactive. It aired over the weekend & is now available here http://bit.ly/bKfNUO Over the years we’ve had a lot of clients want to try and trick Google. It’s not a […]

Last week an SEO bloke from the UK, Patrick Altoft, stumbled across a Google test/update. Google Instant was tested then released.

Like most people I find who don’t understand Twitter, they’re usually using the wrong Twitter client. This week I show why you why I believe […]

Google Instant launched last week and there has been a lot of complete nonsense written about it (some good stuff too though). If you haven’t tried it yet, go to Google.com and take it for a spin. I find it quite interesting to see some of the results. A lot of the stories that came […]

Matt Cutts is Google’s senior engineer who fights spam in the Google index. He is the guy that weilds the dreaded "Google Slap" . We were noticing some weird stuff happening on Google’s side this week though. The bot was deliberately going to parts of our site that we told it not to. I guess […]

This week we examine Google insights to see what Aussies are thinking about their election, review a viewers site and I pick up 2663 backlinks in a week 🙂 JimJim’s been here for a while, you know who he is. stewartmedia.biz
