Google Entity Metrics: The Role of Entities in SEO

According to the  recent Google patent “Ranking Search Results Based On Entity Metrics” an entity is, “a thing or concept that is singular, unique, well-defined and distinguishable.”  I wrote a lengthy analysis of the patent on my blog but decided to save the discussion as to what it really means for SEO for this article.  […]

Last week Google started letting business owners set holiday hours and this week the presents continue but this time in the AdWords sphere.  On Tuesday they announced on their Google+ Page that people can subscribe to receive via SMS promotions related to Black Friday, Cyber Monday and general Holiday deals.

Facebook Moments: The Best App You Should Be Afraid Of

Every now and then an app or tool launches that gets you excited. I remember waiting impatiently for Facebook itself to allow for public access back in 2006. Facebook Moments, announced a few days back on the 15th is just such an app. It solves a huge problem (or better worded … creates a solution […]

Your New Advantage on Mobile Search

If you haven’t been hiding in a cave for the past few months you’ll know that April 21st marked the beginning of the rollout of a mobile index by Google.

How Accurate is SEO Forecasting?

Earlier today Linkdex published the results of their recent survey of SEOs.  The subject?  Forecasting.  The data?  Very interesting and here’s why.

Some Of My Favorite Must-Have WordPress Plugins

What If You Didn’t Recover From A Penguin Attack

For over a year we all waited. Impatiently mind you … but we waited nonetheless.

Why You Should Care About PageRank

If you’re an experienced SEO you likely read the title thinking, “Oh no.”  If you’re newer to SEO you’ll have read it and thought to yourself, “But … that goes against what I’ve read on a hundred other sites.”  If either of these was your instinct you’re right, assuming you were thinking of that little […]
