DIY SEO (and stuff) for Small Businesses
As we grow as an SEO company we have started to attract a better class of link pimp selling their wares. This week yet another large company approached us offering us the ‘opportunity‘ of placing link spam onto the hallowed pages of their website.
Large companies with an extensive web presence, newspaper companies for example, have [...]
We recently missed out on a project because our price wasn’t fixed. The potential client said “Due to the other quote I received giving a fixed and set price, I’ve chosen that company as yours being open ended with hourly rates, I was worried this could severely mount up and way exceed budget.”
On the face [...]
The Party – Take One
You arrive at a party. People are chatting, eating nibbles, topping up drinks, laughing, looking intently at someone holding court and generally gazing round the room.
You grab a chair, stand on it and at the top of your voice shout “I sell cars! Does anybody want to buy a car!!!??”.
The room [...]
I was reading a well known forum this week. In the SEO section there’s thread after thread promoting and asking about link spamming techniques. There’s everything from software that automatically creates profiles on forums to offers of a 1000 PR5 links for thirty bob and a fried fish.
There are also a shed load of people [...]
It’s 23:00 on Saturday 14th November and I just noticed Google.co.uk changed. It’s removed the search button and it’s using a moo tools type effect to fade in the menu items when you mouse over the page.

I read an article or PR piece in a local (piss poor) business magazine supplement by an alleged SEO Specialist. He stated there weren’t many people in the IT field who specialised in SEO and due to the nature of their work what they do is shrouded in mystery. But guess what, don’t worry because [...]
So that was 2008. Lot’s happened at Red Evo central but I have a sneaking suspicion 2009 will be quite a lot more interesting.
So far as SEO is concerned I see 2009 as a year for consolidation. As a response to the SEO information overload of 2008 I think 2009 will see website owners get [...]
I had an email conversation this week with a guy whose company has dropped from page 1 to page 3 or 4 for a search phrase that’s previously delivered good business. He’s frustrated and can’t figure out why this has happened – part of the reason for requesting a free seo review from us. He [...]
There are loads of company’s offering SEO for a low monthly fee. On the face of it these deals seem too good to ignore. I was looking at some SERPs recently and I saw a PPC advert which read, SEO for £199 plus VAT. I wondered what that meant.
If the company offering this service is [...]
I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I’ve dropped my fair share of online bollocks. Having been online since the blink tag was cool I’ve seen all kinds of fads come and go, some of them stuck some didn’t.
One thing that’s always existed is the cheap website. Built by people who don’t know [...]
