Google Buzz for Business, Get Your Wallet Out Again

February 12, 2010

My head is melted.
Way back in time I just had to blog, now I have to tweet, update Facebook, network on LinkedIn, save on Delicious, Redit, Sphinn, and the list goes on and on getting bigger every day.
One question – when can I get on with some bloody work?

There is no Instant Gratification in Search

February 9, 2010

I have often wondered how I ended up in search engine optimisation.  I like instant gratification – I like to see the work done and have that feel good feeling factor viewing or watching something I have done.

I received a letter from Google – yes a letter.  Now it was just pushing me in the direction of Google Adwords for advertising for my business.  But it just highlights how the different, and perhaps old fashioned, snail mail is catching on again.

This is going to be a short post because I know my customer service is brilliant – nothing like banging your own drum.

I met with a web designer yesterday and he was saying that my service does not jump off the page at him.  I agreed with him.  I don’t know if it is possible for me to distil search engine optimisation into one sentence.

How to Pick an SEO Company

April 21, 2009

I ran into this problem recently.  I needed a graphic designer, I mentioned it to a few people and I searched, of course, online.  I looked at all the companies and thought “where do I start?”  I don’t want to be hassled with sales calls from companies that I approach.  I looked at some of [...]
