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 of  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:   About an hour later, the shitstorm began taking form. (they are still coming in) -----------begin facepalm----------- Spamming fellow marketers with this tactic is almost [...]

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 [...]

My emotional health is competely dictated by my analytics

Raise your hand if you relate: You wake up in the morning and before you brush your teeth, have your coffee or even wipe the crust off of your eyes, you are checking your analytics, statistics, and earnings. AMIRIGHT? If you are like me, you have 100's of sites that you are watching at any given time: your "money [...]

SEO: Things to do when your internet goes down

Our internet went down last week which put our operations to a grinding halt. Ah, first world problems. Rarely does this happen because we have a neighbor with a WiFi we can borrow or tether to 4G but we had a huge outage in the area for several hours. This led me to come up with a plan of [...]

Blackhat Outed on Reddit For Buying Upvotes

Oh man, one place you know you don't mess around on is Reddit.  The place is full of insane crazy good hackers and programmers that investigate every single comment and upvote that was left. Anyhow, so this thread was created by someone affiliated with this site which is some kind of eCommerce platform. A self promoted post just wasn't [...]
