Senket, Go and My Friend Geoff
Let me start by saying that I have absolutely NO IDEA what the heck Senket is. And if you have no clue what Senket is either and wonder if it's the name of a newly discovered creature (sounds like a cat huh?), the name of a lost tribe, or my childhood nickname - just stop!! It's probably nothing you can associate with, neither can I. But it's something you'll want to learn more about. Until my [+]“Did You Mean” Echo or Eco Trimmer?
Read a very interesting post this morning about Google's "Did You Mean" Feature article at SERoundTable.com. Of course, the interesting part is not me reading a post from Barry's blog, I probably spend too much time reading the blog to keep up with the good, bad and ugly. When I read discussions like these, my mind seem to start wandering and coming up with strange ideas,theories, whatever you call them - but definitely not [+]Seven Deadly SEO Sins
After reading a post over at shoemoney about deadly sins of money-seekers, which was in turn inspired by the seven deadly sins series from the History channel. I decided to take some time today, sit down and come up with a list of seven things I consider to be the deadly sins in our world of SEO. 1. Over Optimization Trying to insert too many keywords into one page because someone else is doing it and ranking? [+]John C. Dvorak vs. SEO
Ok - so a friend of mine forwarded me an article that had, what I thought was a very catchy title "Why Google Must Die" and 30 seconds into the article, I have to say I'm not surprised at John's column on Google and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). This article is one of the worse articles I've ever come across on a publication, besides the other bullshit article about investing advice from Robert Freeland over at [+]Christmas Sale! Cheap Women and Eternal Life.
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. Many online shopping sites appear to be promoting services and products of a different nature. Have our morals as a [+]Google Says Jump…You Say How High
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!! If you have been doing SEO or even reading about it for some time, one of the biggest deal is to create so-called friendly SEO URLs so that search engine crawlers like Googlebot [+]Modern Day SEO Warriors
I came across a very good survey on SERoundTable.com about penalties and SEOs. Those two words "Penalty" and "SEO" typically send shivers down every internet marketers' spine - well most. If you work for a large corporation and do their SEO work or work with people from the Search department, try sending them an email with the tagline "I think Google has penalized us!" - and see what reaction you get. My guess is that [+]Jobs You Can Count On
There aren't many types of careers out there that offer stability these days. Regardless of how hardworking you are, how much overtime you put in at work, or being a team player - hundreds of thousands of those exact types of employees got laid off over the course of 1 year. Not because they weren't skilled or good at what they do, but because the company could no longer sustain its workforce. So what is one [+]
