I use Google all the time but spend a lot of my time scrolling through the results. I feel like I don’t really use Google well and want to know if you have any tips on how to get better and more specific results for searches?
A company has reached out and asked me to publish some content on my site about them. They’re offering to pay me a small fee, but insist that the links not be “nofollow”. What’s a nofollow link and is this generally a good idea?
Thanks to online resources like The Blog Starter, it’s easier than ever to create a blog, whether you’re interested in publishing your thoughts as an individual, marketing your business, or pursuing some other goal. But just because you have a good blog doesn’t mean that people are naturally going to discover it…
My boss wants me to do some keyword research for our new lavalier microphone product, but I have no idea how to begin. Help!
I’m running Google Chrome on my Windows system and would really like to be able to add a toolbar or two to help me learn more about the sites I visit. In particular, is there a good SEO (search engine optimization) toolbar you recommend?
When I do a search on Google why are videos showing up on page 1 now, and more importantly why isn’t my YouTube video showing up? Is there some way to improve my chances of being found on YouTube and Google for videos I upload?
I have a wordpress blog that was using categories in the url structure like this:
/category_name/post_name/
Then I had read somewhere that if you change it to just /post_name/ that it will automatically redirect the old to the new.
It does that, however, somehow Google Webmaster Tools is reporting both and giving us warnings about duplicate title tags, etc.
Do you have a solution for that?
We changed our website recently and also changed the menus on it so some of our pages have a different path now. For about 2-3 weeks after the switch we noticed our Google Analytics fell off, then we checked mypagerank.net and out page ranks had gone from 3, 4, or 5 to 0 on some of the pages. Our web designer is being somewhat cryptic about why this happened. Can you explain what would cause this and if our page rank will go back up or do we need to do something?
