Written by derek chew in Friday, November 14th 2008
For those who are in online marketing, specifically SEM, face the challenge of delivery targeted ads to the right audience at the right time for the right product. All this in hopes of driving traffic and converting that user for revenue of some sort. But for some companies, this holiday season calls for a higher cause.

Google Says Jump…You Say How High
Written by derek chew in Tuesday, September 23rd 2008
The field of SEO, as we know it, has come full circle in my opinion - as far as Google is concerned. Just when you think that SEO is becoming more understandable and make sense, freaking Google throws a curveball at you!!

Big Brand Understands SEO
Written by derek chew in Wednesday, July 23rd 2008
Once in a while major brands get SEO right when dealing with Flash, Ajax and JavaScript. Reasons why major brands don't think they need to care about their SEO is probably due to market share and mind share of their brand.

West Side Spam
Written by derek chew in Tuesday, July 15th 2008
When a website gets a chance to implement a new design, some tend to go overboard with SEO techniques that they've seen on other websites. It's been long discussed that plastering links at the bottom of the homepage using dynamic keyword creates a bad experience for the user, much less looks like dirty spam.
