Ask any real SEO junkie about time-tested effec­tive meth­ods for get­ting to Google’s 1st page quickly and chances are pretty good that they’ll men­tion get­ting incom­ing links from author­ity sites in your field (which is deter­mined by the key­word you want to rank well for).

Hel­looo, it’s called Social Media

Social media is turn­ing mar­ket­ing and pub­lic rela­tions upside down. The rules of the game are chang­ing and shift­ing, and amidst all of this won­der­ful, innovation-driven chaos, many get into social media with­out keep­ing a focus on the “social” in social media.

Google just launched Knol and the whole world is won­der­ing whether every SEO expert and affil­i­ate mar­keter out there is going to start writ­ing Knol’s instead of Wikipedia arti­cles.
Why?* For SEO Juice * For mak­ing money
Well, my first analy­sis indi­cates that this might be indeed hap­pen.  Here 5 Knols that were fea­tured on Knol’s home page […]

This is the ques­tion posed by www.seroundtable.com in their lat­est blog post.

Rule #1: Start using AdWords Con­ver­sion Track­ing Today
Rule #2: Know What Con­ver­sions To Track in AdWords
I am shocked that even after so many years, time and time again I see lots of new AdWords cus­tomers that do not use AdWords Con­ver­sion Track­ing.
Why do so many new AdWords users not do what it takes to suc­ceed?

AdWords Mir­a­cle Was the #3 Most Searched For AdWords Key­word in June

Last week, I blogged a post about a con­cept I call “Social Polar­ity” and how you can infuse it into your blog’s mar­ket­ing.
Cre­ate an enemy and don’t be neu­tral. Remem­ber, what we want is polar­ity, not neu­tral­ity. Neu­tral is bor­ing, and bor­ing is unat­trac­tive. It’s as sim­ple as that. In fact, I remem­ber Frank Kern […]
