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...
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. Over the course of three days we watched this little PR firm be absolutely demolished by the collective force of the Internet (you know it’s bad when they make a YouTube video), and I highly doubt it...

Seasonal trends effect keyword volumes in varying degrees. In some industries, there is almost no seasonal variation in keyword volume. Examples of such industries include staple products like groceries, telephone services, family medicine, auto repair - the things that all folks need pretty much all the time. Then on the other end of the spectrum are those products that are acutely seasonal. The most pronounced examples would be Santa dolls around Christmas time, pool building...
The majority of webmasters welcomed the Panda Update. In their mind it was going to give them the chance, once and for all, to find the success they were looking for. Unfortunately not every website can enjoy the luxury of a first page spot on the SERP’s and many webmasters have become confused by the Panda Updates lack of difference to SEO. The main problem that people have is that they do not fully understand...
SEO: everyone agrees to disagree – right? That’s the problem with SEO in general, there’s so much advice flying around in all directions that it’s difficult to get a handle on what you actually need to be doing. I spend a great portion of my life simplifying SEO in training courses, and when it comes to relatively small websites with upwards of 1,000 pages of content, that’s exactly what it is: simple. You’re Not Going To...
There was once – and to some extent still is – a concept known to many Internet marketers as the niche or "mini" site. These small corners of the Web were outposts for made-for-Adsense content and affiliate links.
