On Friday afternoon while basking in the Miami sunlight poolside, I opened up my email on my mobile device to find a very peculiar email. Great, another threatening letter from a stock photo company or something. Just lovely. But sometimes karma swings your way. It was a letter from some law firm. It turns out LinkedIn was ordered to [...]
There is no denying it, there has been a lot of talk lately about Google+ shutting down. I refuse to speculate on if this will happen or not, because that is a horse that has been beaten to death. Google's done this a few times in the past with social networks, just shut em down. to name a few: [...]
This is one of those things that has always bothered me, but I never got around to doing and that is being able to view the source code of a website on Android. For the most part I don't do any actual coding on my phone, but there are many circumstances where I have to view the source code [...]
I've been amused with this story all day long since Cyrus Shepard tweeted it. Mark Hill, a journalist for Cracked.com was recently propositioned by a website called "Wingman Magazine." If you are interested, I also went on a bit of a tangent about this story on Periscope (video) so check that out. How it all went down The online [...]
Brand new, clueless and broke At one point or another, most people start out here. You are new to the industry, really have no idea what you are doing and are strapped for cash.

There are quite a few plugins that I personally use out of sheer convenience, however I will always try to use a custom solution before I [...]
By now Iโm sure that youโve heard the news: Google is indexing and displaying Tweets in Google. A few months back they began displaying them in mobile results, and now they are displaying them in desktop as well. Begin by typing this special code into Google: site:yoursite.com enable=tweets Haha! Just kidding :) It's gonna be a little harder than [...]
Let me just say, I've never owned a new car in my entire life. Even my used cars have been used. Recently a friend of mine got a job at Audi and hooked me up with an insane deal I couldn't resist. After a lot of pressure from friends and family to stop driving "a piece of s***" I [...]
When I sat down last week with my sweet vanilla latte to read my morning dose of SEO, it wasn't Rand's video that perturbed me but the link within his transcription which basically said "modern SEO requires almost no technical experience." Rand gave an awesome rundown on this weeks whiteboard Friday but as a full-time SEO consultant myself I [...]
I was recently made aware of this interesting change in the SERPs, and had to find an example for myself. Apparently Google is displaying images from within PDFs and displaying them as a JPEG. In one case I found, they converted the entire PDF into a JPEG. To illustrate, I did a search for a term that I knew [...]
