You have probably forgotten it already but I recently wrote a post about SEO Merchandise featuring a few T-Shirts full of in-jokes and lols aplenty. I had fun making them, had a chuckle in the comments section and thought nothing more of it. A few weeks later I got an email from Bill Rowland the organiser of […]

Real basic survey where I ask a few quick questions about link building. Check it out. I’ll be putting together a post on the results once they come in.  

This post isn’t about trust in a domain authority or a brand sense but in terms of good ol’ fashioned, reliably certain trust. If you have trust issues the definition is below… Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. How can you build trust? Fear not. there are many ways to build both real and artificial trust online. Unfortunately the […]

*Edit – I had stupidly forgotten to mention that there are some fucking awesomely, cool people that I’ve met thanks to Twitter. This slight hiatus has nothing to do with these guys. I’m just a bit jaded and have a lot of stuff to get on with both offline and online. You guys know who […]

For the second time in 24 hours David Cohen has given me an idea about a new post, this is something that I’ve been thinking about for a while. To learn how to code or not learn how to code and whether it would benefit me both professionally and in terms of future ‘experiments’. It […]

I read two posts today. The first one was a 4,000 word article about outing another SEO supplier and probable competitor. Unfortunately once again an article about outing certain SEO techniques gained a lot of attention via social media (particularly Twitter). I used to try and avoid these types of posts but actually I’ve decided […]

As you probably know there are some superb SEO glossaries out there. My particular favourites being SEObook, SEOmoz and SEO-Theory (the top 3 results, nice one Google for training me to believe the top results are indeed the best.) Regardless of whether you are a SEO beginner or SEO guru it’s always worth recapping a few […]

Three words that I didn’t think I’d ever type in order. I found this infographic via State of Search and thought it was worth sharing 🙂 The original site (Outwilder) also posted a list of Google infographic sources in case you want to read more. If this is too small to read check out this. […]

AHHHHHH!! Where am I? Who am I? Google are striking back and they’re certainly fucking with a few people at the moment. Personally I can’t help thinking that it’s been a long time coming. A real good shake up. So what sort of things have they been doing recently? Create a state of  flux with […]

I love a good link building service image, they’re full of such hope! Anyway, If you had the opportunity to ask an SEO genius a question, what would you ask? What about if you had the opportunity to ask an SEO genius a question whilst also gaining a free link from an amazing website?* How […]

I was checking my email earlier and came across this gem. I’m getting soft and removed the name and number (in case my competitors are reading and want to get in contact with them.) I was going to just post it but I’ve decided to add my own retarded commentary below in bold. Enjoy! Hello, […]

Yes I know, the title makes me sounds like a twat. “Yeah right, like he can’t guarentee traffic! He can’t even spell guarantee!” I’m actually quite happy to put my balls on the line and say that if you work in the following areas you will have an increase in traffic to your website. Keyword […]

Scenario Page x is the most relevant result for the search query y but it doesn’t rank because it is on a brand new website which has a small amount of content and no links pointing to it. Morally is it wrong to pay for links to improve page x’s ranking results if you are […]

If I read about how exact keyword domains are being ‘dampened’ one more time I’m going to have a seizure. I’ve reviewed some of the most expensive keywords for adsense clicks, so you can rest assured that these are fairly competitive areas within the SERPs. So if you are in anyway confused about whether EKD’s […]

The three possibilities for ranking drops: You did something wrong – Have you made any recent changes to the website? Where have you recently been building links? Your competitors did something half decent – Have they made any significant on page changes, perhaps a website refresh? Maybe they have increased their link buyin… building budget? The search […]

This is a post that I’ve wanted to write for quite a while. I love seeing people test new ideas out and writing about their findings, it’s human nature to learn more about subjects of interest. However in a desperation to say anything new/fresh about SEO we are starting to see a few little fallacies slip […]

Yo, yes it’s another “best of” based article, however with a twist! This list is actually half decent… I’ve read through quite a few “best SEO article” based posts over the last week and have seen: People posting average information that has been written by a colleague or friend* Some useful information that received a […]

As the days grow shorter and my want for mulled wine increases I generally start thinking about the last year and how it has gone within the wonderful world of SEO. Now looking back on 2011 there have been quite a few incidents and algorithm changes that have caused many an article to be written […]

In our pursuit to improve a websites visibility and reach online we are often looking for websites that are looking for writers/allow guest posts to be added to their site. Whilst reviewing Google the other day I was thinking about how this process could be improved, except there own websites where do blog or website […]
