I decided to check out LinkedIn’s new “skill” feature to see what it was all about. To quote the skills page itself, the purpose is to:
Discover the skills you need to succeed. Learn what you need to know from the thousands of hot, up-and-coming skills we’re tracking.
I thought it sounded like it had some potential to help my LinkedIn presence so I decided to do some investigating. LinkedIn skills lets you add all of your ‘skills’ that you have to …
I’m just going to get down to it…the April fools pranks are on point this year. There are A LOT of great ones but above the rest I found 7 in a league of their own that deserve to be immortalized as some of the best April fools jokes of all time. Without any further ado, here they are:
1. [Google] Gmail Motion
Gmail Motion uses your computer’s built-in webcam and Google’s patented spatial …
I know how it is being stuck at a certain position in the search engines for a keyword and not being able to move up at all, no matter what I do. No matter how many links I build or what kind my website just sits in the same position, losing all the traffic to the guys in front of me. I have a little technique I use to give my websites a boost when they seem to be stuck …
A recent post on the official Google blog has a lot of webmasters and SEOs in a state of panic and on the edge of their seats awaiting the next big algorithm updates.
Matt Cutts made it clear that Google is making big developments towards fighting problematic spam like content farms and hacked websites. It’s been a tough uphill battle for Google keeping the search quality up with the amount of spam being pushed out every day. These new …
Yep…just like the title suggests – Google’s newest feature lets you filter your search results by the reading level of the content. There are 3 different reading levels to choose from – “basic”, “intermediate”, and “advanced.” The breakdown of my blog is: 62% basic, 37% intermediate, and an extremely impressive 0% advanced.
This could become really interesting if people actually use it. If someone is looking for a basic/beginner …
I keep hearing how “SEO is dead” which is an interesting observation to me. It’s always from the same group of people that usually tout themselves as something along the lines of “social media experts” or “social media strategists”. They seem to believe that because social media exists, SEO and search is dying…how they’ve collectively come to that conclusion is beyond me.
My first question is, how can social media ever replace search? I can’t seem to grasp the idea of …
Sort of, Let me explain…
I’ve been seeing A LOT of duplicate content questions lately and I want to take a few minutes to debunk any myths, misinformation, and wrong interpretations. First of all, if you aren’t sure what duplicate content is here’s a quick definition:
“Duplicate content is a term used in the field of search engine optimization to describe content that appears on more than one web page, even on different web sites.”
In other words, if you write an article …
Seth Godin is without a doubt one of THE most innovative marketers in the world. I recently watched this TED talk and found it super informative and interesting, it also has some great jokes. Enjoy!
Inviting all of your friends to your fan page or facebook group can be insanely tedious and agonizing. When I made my fan page for my blog I wasn’t about to click 400 names to invite all my friends, that’s just a pure waste of time. Instead I found a way to invite ALL of them with a few clicks and it works like a charm.
To invite ALL your facebook friends to your fan page/group do the following:
1.) Copy/paste this …
Yeah yeah, I know Facebook is the new hotness, and I know you think you need to be a pro Facebook advertiser to make some real money from social networking sites. You don’t. There’s a huge opportunity right now to do well if you:
Are an affiliate
Own a product
Have a website/service or just SOMETHING to advertise
I’m talking about one of the opportunities people will talk about in a few years and say things like:
“what the hell was I doing?”
“I …
