Do you know where to start with your SEO report card for your website? Is it description meta tags? Heading tags? Well, interestingly enough Google was asking the same questions and did their own report card.
From the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog:
Google’s SEO Report Card is an effort to provide Google’s product teams with ideas [...]
Wordpress is a great tool, but its also a massive resource hog. I’ve used it for a while and decided that I’d put together my list of what I’ve done to speed it up and decrease resources, particularly RAM and CPU usage.
Check out the speed of your site first. This will give you a [...]
I hate reading all the new media books that get released. Books about AdWords, SEO, Analytics, online marketing, social media and the list goes on. Why? Because 200 of the 250 pages are garbage. I’d rather have 50 pages of how-to and be able to get right to work than reading and reading and getting [...]
Everyone knows the web has created a world of endless niches, but that seems to have started to spill over to business. Everywhere I look someone is a consultant.

The bad part is that the person was [...]
What year is it again? If you time warped from the year 2000 to your couch could you tell anything changed with cable? Not much has changed chwith the cable industry. They charge more, but they still don’t offer much in the way of progress.
How in the digital age can our remote controls still [...]
This really sounds like an obvious–and dumb statement. But a lot of companies I come across who are looking to make stake their claim online think that if you build it, they will come. Well they won’t. Not because they think your product sucks, its because they don’t even know your product exists. The web [...]
Fast Company had a really good article about finding bright spots and cloning them. Nearly every company has some aspect that is good–perhaps far better than others.
It made me think immediately about agencies that I know and work with. There are agencies that do great things. But some might be lagging in certain areas. [...]
