SEO life: I work with my wife everyday, here’s how

I'd like to start by saying I love my wife, and we are best friends and partners, truly. She is also one of the most talented and ambitious people I know. We truly enjoy, appreciate and compliment one another. We are also very realistic and know that everything in life takes work. We both live by a simple relationship [...]

Should I accept a backlink from my crazy neighbor who sells movie posters online?

I was talking with my crazy neighbor blogger, who would like to remain anonymous. He wears sweatpants about 350 days out of the year, smokes Marlboro Lights, and has a network of websites that sells movie posters (which I beleive to be bootleg). Somehow he makes a living off of it. He constantly trolls me about blackhat SEO. He's [...]

An SEO’s perspective of Ello Social Network

Just messing around with Ello tonight and thought I'd share my thoughts on this hip new social network. Note: I do have a few Ello invite codes left so hit me up if you are interested. The on-boarding process is unique with the fact that it is invite only. They are definitely going with the whole scarcity principle by [...]

Can Google guess my reeeeeeely bad spelling?

Just kind of a fun / fake case study here. No technical data to back any I've been kind of playing around for the last few weeks asking myself the question: "How badly can I butcher the spelling of queries in order for Google auto-correct to get it right." Here are some of the worst (or best, depending on [...]

Google will probably be annoyed if you use stock images

As an SEO, I try to make every pixel count. That means I try to put thought into every character I type and every pixel I create or publish. Except for maybe some of the nonsense I say on Twitter. I recently took the time to do a complete read ofย  Google's Guide to Material Design, and found some [...]

SEO email marketing gone HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY wrong!

This poor, poor uninformed "SEO content writer" (a word I despise on a cellular level) blasted a scraped list of 500 (probably more)emails and openly included everyone's email. So it went something like this: ย  About an hour later, the shitstorm began taking form. (they are still coming in) -----------begin facepalm----------- Spamming fellow marketers with this tactic is almost [...]

Home Office Remodel: an SEO’s Paradise

I've been working on getting my home office juuuuuuust right for the last month, about 10 minutes ago I think I finally finished. The best part about all of this is the huge amount of desktop space I have. It is about 7 feet wide and 3 feet deep. (2) 27" monitors sit a top of it with very [...]

The more I learn about SEO the less “SEO tools” I use

I will always be a student of SEO. The day I start calling myself an expert is the day I stop getting good at SEO. I have so much to learn from so many different people. The great thing about SEO is that it encompasses so many different disciplines, I could literally spend my entire life learning about SEO [...]

Rant: CTA bar plugins PR leak, traffic leak and link scheme

Hello my friends. I'd like to ask you a very short and simple question: Would you install a website addon, extension, or plugin that embeds an image and do-follow link to someone else's website at the top of your website contained within a call to action? My official answer: hell-to-the-no! Anytime I see a plugin that attempts to add [...]
