August 23, 2010

I don’t usually put anything political on my site, but I had to share this with you. Chris Young, mayoral candidate for Providence, RI, decided to whip out a tape and sing a self-composed song for the woman who was given the unfortunate task of interviewing him. Be careful, this video will make you feel [...]

I am a huge proponent of google image search, although it’s far less simple than plain old SEO, it can offer webmasters a huge boost in traffic if it’s leveraged right.

Meta Data and Search Engines

July 17, 2010

Google uses hundreds of data points to rank sites, and it’s inefficient (and stupid) to try to attack every single piece of the algorithm on every site. Time is best spent hitting on the stuff that Google weighs most. I’ve always contended that meta titles are one [...]
