Web Developer Turned SEO
You would think that a company like Cox.net that prides themselves on being "Your Friend in the Digital Age" would have their act together when resolving issues. I have been a customer of Cox since moving to Arizona in 2007, and have not had any issues with my service in my house since moving in August 2007. Starting in June of 2011 I started having problems with the DVR service. The DVR … [Read more...]
I didn't see this anywhere so I figure I'd post it. One thing that is never mentioned is that: The account CAN NOT be a Reseller. Check in: Main >> Resellers >> Reseller Center If the account is a Reseller, if it is Remove it. … [Read more...]
In managing servers you always come across something that is not the way you want it. The admin before me used 1 IP address per domain, which would be fine, if there was a need for that. The reason behind that was to reduce competitor spying, but having 30 sites on their own IP address that aren't doing anything is pointless. Using CPanel it is not easy to take a site that has a dedicated IP … [Read more...]
I love the functionality of WishList Membership, but there are some limitations, a big one being that it wasn't written for people to modify and adapt t existing templates easily. In a recent installation we wanted to allow people to view video 1 of a 7 video series, and when they click on any of the other videos shown on the page we wanted to have a pop-up with the WishList Member … [Read more...]
I was doing a little SEO investigating using the SEOMoz tools to see where some of my competitors are getting their juice links from and noticed that Technorati, the blog aggregate site, has a SEOMoz Domain Authority score of 100, the highest possible. Instead of adding a new blog entry I figure I would just manually add the Claim Token that they provide to the numerology blog and be on my … [Read more...]
It's amazing how the word sex attracts so much attention. Is it the word itself or that it has an x in it? Other words like Sox, Axe, and the company Dex all seem to catch your attention in ways other words do not. After reading a few books on subliminal suggestive ads a few months ago I have been paying close attention to ads. People even email me new items that they find. For instance, … [Read more...]
The start is always the hardest part. We have all been there. We put things off until, the next thing we know, a few weeks, months or even years have gone by without actually starting what we set out to do. This post is exactly that for me. Every morning I have been waking up saying (read thinking), "I'm going to write that blog post today!", this post to be precise. And while lying in bed … [Read more...]
For years one of my customers has stuck with the idea that his domain name should be his business name and that was the end of it. Well as SEO's we know that having a keyword rich domain name is much better unless your an established brand, and even then we can easily do multiple websites. This local client has been getting 90% new customers through the local listings I manage, and even … [Read more...]
Are you making your content easily shareable? One of the over looked aspects of quality content is, "How sharable is it? Make your SEO about getting people to share. Well not all of your SEO efforts, but a good portion. Studies show that people will buy from a friends recommendation before that of a stranger. If you make it easier for someone to share your content on the typical social … [Read more...]
I think Google is starting to use the Torah for their Captcha dictionary. I can understand the desire to keep people from using robots to scrape content and not submit spam into email forms, but for a logged in person using the Google Keyword Tool this should not come up. Sorry Google No Hebrew characters on my keyboard! Here's another one I had lying around waiting … [Read more...]
You are practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong.
