WHY (WE) SIMPLIFY SEO?

People who work in the search engine optimization industry (often) obsess on every little change in the search engines. It's what they do for a living. You don't have that kind of time. SEO isn't what you do for a living. You have a business to run. Perhaps a family. Maybe you want a social life that's not on blogger, facebook or twitter. But, you still want better rankings. More traffic. We can help.

NOT A TECH GEEK?

Well, thank heavens, because, that's what we do! Stop beating yourself up for it already... you don't need to be a tech geek to run a business. You just need to know one. Aren't you glad you found us?! Go ahead. Browse. Enjoy!

Blog Themes and Topics of the Top 50 Technorati Blogs

One question I get asked a lot is whether it’s better to use a two column or a three column blog theme. Usually I say it’s a matter of preference balanced with the needs of your content. So, I decided to chart the top 50 blogs at Technorati, to see whether they use 2 or 3 column themes. I also noted the subject matter.

Here’s the result:

Turns out they’re about half and half split between 2 and 3 column. So - which is better? Depends on your preference and your content just as I thought. Meow!
