Nestled deep in the World Wide Web is a place where Internet Marketers converge to share the stories, news, and memos pertinent to their industry. The content is user-submitted, but unlike other Digg clones, the community has very little control over what makes it to the front page.
Only after the article is poured over by a very qualified team can it even be seen on the site. Moderators scour each new article and...
In today’s health-conscious society, everyone has spent at least a couple minutes of their life thinking about (or purposely ignoring) their diet. Is this meal healthy?

Whenever Google does a big update to their algorithm, SEO’s everywhere shudder.
It’s probably because in the past, when a notable update went public, SEO was completely turned upside down.
Just take a look at either the “Mayday Update” or the “Panda Update.”
For those of you who don’t know, both of these updates were designed to target a specific type of website. For the Mayday Update, the targets were thin “Google Sniper” websites – sites that had...
Every SEO has had the daunting task of writing content at least once in their lifetime and the honest truth is that it isn’t the most fun task in the world. But at the end of the day, we all know it needs to be done. Content is king, and if we want a page to rank well we need to apply the essential foundations of the website through content.
Good quality content can be hard...
In my 12+ years in the SEO industry, I have never seen a small company destroy its brand as effectively or as quickly as Ocean Marketing and founder Paul Christoforo managed to do a few weeks ago.
