The Advertorial earthquake has hit, is the Tsunami still to come
The fallout from last weeks “Advertorial” update have been well documented by many in the industry – with Interfloras fall from grace being probably the most high profile casualty.

The focus keyword in WordPress SEO
This question pops up time and again: why can I only add one focus keyword to your SEO plugin? People seem to think they have to set several keywords for each post. This post explores the reasoning behind that, very deliberate, decision. This is the input field I’m talking about: The focus keyword is not…

Experts Eye Series 2013 – Whats going to be big in search for 2013
2012 whichever which way, was a massive year – with our experts unanimously suggesting that Penguin was the biggest game changer during last year.

2013 Internet, SEO and Technology Predictions
I’ve made predictions for the past four years (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) and think I’ve done pretty well as a prognosticator. I’m sometimes off by a year or two and many of my predictions are wrong where my predictions were more like personal wishes. But it’s interesting to put a stake in the ground so […]

Want SEOs to lose their job? Start doing yours!
This morning, an article by Paul Boag was published on Smashing Magazine that got a few SEOs, including myself, all riled up. As Bill Slawski pointed out in the comments, Paul has written articles on SEO before. Paul, whom I respect tremendously for his web development work, obviously doesn’t “get” SEO and has evidently had…

Video not showing in search results: why?
In helping out people who are using my Video SEO plugin, I’m finding that some sites get “hit” by what I now call the “Not really a video page” effect. While it’s a pretty rare phenomenon I thought it was a good idea to share with the wider community and see what one can do…
