How Search Works
Google has published today a great interactive web page that shows how Google search works. It’s quite a basic level but it nicely conveys the work that goes behind the scenes to crawl the web and deliver search results to the end use. There are some interesting links to click on too. I particularly liked [...]
Duplicate Content Recovery Method
I posted an in-depth article on the Artemis SEO Sussex website recently and just realised I didn’t share it on here. The article is about how you can recover from a certain type of duplicate content issue, one where duplication is only detected at the point at which the query, which will serve your page [...]
Social Media: Great But Make Sure You Own Your Content And Traffic
It was interesting to read the other day that The Guardian newspaper has decided to kill off it’s Facebook newspaper app, deciding instead to use Facebook to drive traffic to that content on its own website. I think we’re going to be seeing this happening a lot more over the coming months. It’s something I’ve [...]
Still Think Social Media Is The Way Forward For Your Business?…Think Again!
I hear it all the time: ”SEO is dead, it’s all about social media now”. What a load of rubbish. Feast your eyes on the chart above. The data is a few months old but it paints a very clear picture of the amount of traffic referred to websites from different sources. The data was [...]
Google Caching Search Results Pages
When something keeps happening over and over again it ceases being a coincidence and starts becoming a fact. Over the last few months I’ve been working on several projects in relatively competitive niches. I’ve been doing some aggressive link building campaigns to get those sites ranking on the first page of Google. Part of the [...]
Why I Deleted My Facebook Account
When I tell people that two months ago I deleted my Facebook account I’m greeted with looks of horror and total surprise. You’d think I’d just announced that I’d murdered someone with a toothpick. But yes, my long standing Facebook account with over 600 “friends” is no more and I feel so much better for [...]
Google’s New Tool To Ignore Bad Links
Although Bing beat them to it some time ago, today Google announced their new Disavow Links Tool. It’s a way to help you tell Google if you feel some of the links pointing to your website could be hurting it in the search results. If you’ve either been done some very questionable linking to your [...]
So Many Idiots On Webmaster Help Forums
I appear to be having quite a lot of fights on webmaster forums these days. I keep getting increasingly frustrated with people who have been hanging around on these forums for years and whenever someone new comes along and asks a simple question, they just get pounced on. I was on the Google Webmaster Help [...]
How To Tell If Google Thinks Your Website Is A Brand
Most people who aren’t studying Google search results day in and day won’t have realised that Google is showing just seven results instead of ten on the first page for certain search queries. I’ve been reading on various sites that many SEOs and webmasters think that this is a big deal, when in actual fact [...]
The Hypocrisy of Google’s Top Heavy Page Layout Algorithm
If you’re not aware yet, yesterday Google rolled out yet another update, this time it’s version two of the so-called “Top Heavy” algorithm which aims to penalise websites with too many ads above the fold. Matt Cutts made the announcement on Twitter: Minor weather report: Update of goo.gl/OpIDL launching today. ~0.7% of English queries noticeably [...]
