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!

SEO SKOOL - Free for a limited time

Don’t have all day, every day, to obsess on Google?

If you’re like most website owners, you don’t have untold hours to obsess on every little change at Google. You have a website to look after and work to do. Maybe a day job and family sprinkled into the mix.

Should lack of time for seo translate to lack of ranking? No. Because your ranking is ultimately about what you bring to the marketplace, not how much time you have to obsess on seo.

Thing is… there’s two different approaches to seo.

  • One approach includes algorithms and page changes and obsessing on details.
  • The other approach smaller increments of time - and has more longevity.

YouTube Insight - Video Analytics

Interesting post about YouTube Insight at the Google Blog.

Go into My account ->  Videos, Favorites, Playlists -> Manage my Videos.  Then click the “About this Video” button.

You’ll be able to see how often your video is viewed in different geographic regions. You’ll also be able to see details of the lifecycle, such as how long it takes your vids to become popular and hit peak for views.

If you’re using video for business or marketing concepts, take a minute to wrap your brain around the power of that kind of information.  You’re welcome.

As a side note, some of the comments on the YouTube blog are interesting.

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!
