Note: the example below is a client that contacted us only to do an email transfer, we did not design or do SEO on this website.

(Originally posted August 2015, I've been updating this post every few months since then) One of my hobbies in life, one of my passions is finding and locating scammers.

Believe it or not, I get asked this question at least 3-4 times per month: "How can I enable Gmail templates so I don't have to type out the same email all the time." This is a feature that I've been using for at least 5 years and take advantage of on a daily basis. The thing I love [...]

We're going to define, identify, and analyze the private blog networks your competitors are using to rank and bank. But why are we doing this? That is really something you have to answer yourself.

Have you ever heard yourself saying the following: "It's just not worth it for me" "I charge $150 an hour, there is no way I'm doing that" "I don't work for free." Well stop it, just stop it right now! Chances are you are reading this because you are trying to grow your consultancy or agency, much like I've [...]
The year was 2008. I was in late 20's, had a bronze Florida tan, and tons of entrepreneurial energy. At this point I made somewhat of a living making websites and doing network admin stuff. One weekend I spent inside a drop ceiling of a boiler room running cat 6 cable for a VOIP system and made $2k. I [...]
If there is one term I hate more than anything else, it is networking. Let's think about what exactly networking is.
