Keyword tools are superb. I use them and love them. Sometimes however just creating a list of seed keywords can be a challenge, especially if you are too close to the subject or company. With the phenomenon of social networking it seemed plausible that my various networks of contacts might be able to help. So [...]
SEO is Not a F****g Black Art!
Published in April 27th, 2008
Sorry about the title but I’m starting to get hot under the collar about people who simply won’t accept that SEO isn’t a black art. It seems that no matter how many times a TITLE element is explained or how many times you explain to people what an H1 tag is they just shrug their [...]

Are You the Proud Owner of a ‘Zero Effort’ Website?
Published in April 26th, 2008
I’m wondering if having a website has become too easy. Perhaps all this great free software like Joomla!, Drupal, Zencart and Wordpress have made owning a website so simple even fools can do it. Complete idiots can create great looking websites, utter buffoons can run on-line shops. Surely this is wrong?
Well actually it’s not wrong. [...]

Published in April 18th, 2008
Posted by admin in Link Building
I’m not doubting the power of a successful link building strategy. Links can make or break a site. However I’ve spoken before about how I think Google needs to do more about shabby link selling and spammy link sites, this post shows you why.
I’m going to show you what a typical link building company offer [...]
A Message for Online Shop Owners
Published in April 18th, 2008
Although I run a web development and SEO company I’m still just a normal consumer. I still shop on-line like everybody else and I still suffer at the hands of ill thought out sites. Believe it or not I don’t always analyse the sites I’m visiting, at least not if they deliver what I’m looking [...]
SEO Meltdown
Published in April 15th, 2008
As I wander through forum land I am increasingly aware of how people are going into SEO meltdown. You know the kind of people I’m talking about. In essence they have either a bad site, a bad idea or worse, both.
Instead of concentrating their efforts on creating a great site, something genuinely useful, something different, [...]
