When I got my first iPhone, the 3GS, I had problems at first where my face touching the screen would hang up on people. After a few weeks this stopped. However, I would by accident mute people or put them on hold all the time. Sometimes I could touch the top sleep button and the phone would remain on, other times it hung up on people; I couldn’t use that option with confidence…it was still a great...

I never write about this stuff, but I am going to today. I received this stupid email that included a link to a “visibility analysis report”. I briefly looked, laughed and ignored it. Then the people emailed me again… “Hi, Uh oh, I don't show for for Comcast! I hope you had a chance to take a look at the visibility analysis of SEO Aware that I emailed you a few days ago, as...

At the last Search and Social conference I noticed that 10e20, Brent Csutoras and Search and Social were having pow wow meetings…all very secretive, but NOW we know! They have merged and merged in a massive way! The question is what does this mean? What happens when you put the brightest minds in the industry together??? Well, it means that this industry is going to be forever changed. A new generation...

I learned a lot in the sessions, but plenty of people have blogged about that. So, I am going to write about the people! Loren Baker is a GIANT. Like super tall…really, really tall. (He is also a Star Wars fan, episodes 4, 5 and6) If you tell someone that Rae Hoffman a.k.a Sugerrae threatened to throw you in the pool and never did you will certainly get thrown in the pool. Dave Synder’s wife is...

What are the top 5(-10) online business mistakes you see business owners making? I asked some people in the industry that I respect the question above and here are their answers… Michael Gray – Twitter @Graywolf 1) If You Build It They Will Come: The people who work in SEO and internet marketing realize the world has changed a lot in the last 5 years, for small businesses this information hasn’t...

All I need is a Twitter and Facebook account to be in Social Media, right? Well, actually no! Social media is not just having a Facebook account with a lot of friends or a Twitter account that no one follows. To create a successful and effective Social Media campaign you must have a plan, do some research and refine your plan. If it was as simple as having a Facebook account we would all be rich! How can...

Google’s Matt Cutts answers this question.

We tell people over and over and over that when planning optimization for a site there is a lot of research and planning involved. We can’t just create an “App” or a program that is going to give you effective optimization. We have to really get to know an industry, talk with our clients, research (a lot) and then plan each and every page of a site. If you see someone offering “Apps”...

Jeff and I were talking today about how many sites we have seen lately with “Flash Intros”. I thought people knew this was a thing of the past and that it did nothing to help them search engine wise.  Sometimes I forget that not everyone knows what we do or pays attention to the SEO side of things. Please get Rid of The Flash Intro Most people are irritated when they have to watch a Flash Intro...

See video of the laptop first, if you would like. I had to buy another laptop…I could start using them as wall art at this point, but back to the Lenovo. I am a research junkie, so choosing a laptop was not an easy task. Every laptop I thought I liked had things that people hated about it such as low battery life or it was heavy or it was slow. Obviously I work on the net and I can work 10 hour days....

CNN.com’s Tech section has a quiz called “Test You Techno-Jargon“. I am proud to say I got a 10 out of 10, but most Internet geeks would. I was shocked to see that they asked what “SEO” meant. My six year old knows, do you? You can take the quiz here http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/20/quiz.technojargon/index.html. Melissa – SEO Services
