2004: Year of The Blog
I just read some worthwhile statistics about blogging. They explain the blogging phenomenon but also the advantages of blogging.
The Advantage of Google’s Advanced Search
I met with a gentleman today who was telling me he was dissatisfied with his web searches. I understood. Lately some of my searches haven't been up to par either. What's wrong?
Don’t Stop Using Stop Words
There are still some SEO (search engine optimization) myths out there. One is to not include "stop words" in your keyword optimization strategy. From our own research this can’t be farther from the truth.
Keep in Shape, Stay Up to Date
Keeping up with technology is a job in itself. Technology changes so rapidly, you’d be out of the loop in a manner of minutes if you didn’t keep up on the latest news. Stay informed.
Don’t Ask Jeeves, He Doesn’t Know
I just did a search on Ask Jeeves to test a customer’s keyword and website placement results compared to Yahoo’s. Ask Jeeves’ results show a PDF file we removed from the customer’s website months ago. Ask Jeeves better ask what’s goin’ on?
New Years Resolutions
We have another holiday coming up – New Years. I wanted to share with you a few of our goals for 2005 or to keep in the holiday spirit - our New Years Resolutions for 2005.
There’s a Reason Why Google is #1
I just checked Google to see if we came up in the search engine results under some specific keywords. We were on the second page, listing #14. Excellent! I decided to see if any of the other search engines could compare.
If You Can Read This, You’re Too Young
I don’t know if this is just a coincidence or the way things are headed, but I just read that "People Aged 55 and Up Drive U.S. Web Growth". This is very interesting to note since I just read in another publication about how baby boomers, come 2025, are going to rule the shopping experience.
Time is Our Most Precious Commodity
We only have so much time on this earth - life is too short - so it's important we save time whenever we can. Technology and the internet has helped us save time.
Happy Holidays – It’s Worth It
Yes, I know it seems early, but it is the first day of December and I’m very much in the holiday spirit this season. Picking up the morning paper, I noticed our town; Alameda, California was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle Home and Garden section.
