Google Friendly Solutions to Graphic-Intense Sites

We all know that the search engines can't 'see' or 'read' the graphics on our pages. We also know that we need to provide text on a page, so the spiders will have something to crawl and index.

Are YOU getting your Money's Worth When Buying PPC Traffic?

Tips on Using Wordtracker to Find the Best Keyword Phrases

When you don't know better, you might think that the competition report is telling you how many pages are actually optimized for a particular keyword phrase in any given engine. But they're not telling you this at all! All they can tell you is how many pages show up in a search for that particular keyword phrase....

Addressing the Search Term

SEOs Who Party Like it's 1999

I find it difficult to understand search engine optimizers who party like it's 1999 - using invisible text and hidden links in some pathetic, misguided attempt to trick the search engines into believing their site content is the most relevant. I mean, what are they thinking?...
