So I decided to upgrade to the new AVG 8.0 security software this week and I was impressed by the new Google search engine security feature. I only which that they had came out with this tool when search engines were not as well protected from dangerous web pages. This is a cool little attention to my SERP results though although I am yet to see a page that scores worse than a ?. Continue reading

Please visit this site often, or at least more than you visit Rob Kingston’s site so my Alexa rank goes higher than his.

I will also reveal why the world is round and the exact date the world will end… You really are hard to convince aren’t you, can’t you just read the post instead of insisting on hanging on my every word like it was law. I wish you would stop reading so I could stop writing, I’m telling you this is really a very professional and well written post of the highest quality, it even has pretty pictures… Not naked ones but I’m sure I could convince Peter Newsome or Ben Wilks it would be good for link bait so stay tuned on that front. Look I give up I’m not going to write forever, unless you are a beautiful women who wants to call me 27 times a day, a rich lady look for a toy boy or a millionaire wanting to send me an anonymous check with no strings attached you should read this post, otherwise if you are the fore mentioned you should visit my “contact me” page. Alright I’ve given up on you, you’re beyond my help! Continue reading

I noticed around the web that everyone is focused on Google’s search engine. What about the other search engines, nobody talks about optimizing for them anymore, which leads me to believe their is an untapped goldmine of traffic there at the door step of anyone smart enough to take advantage of it.

In this short article I will talk about the sneaky trick search engines use to get their traffic and how you can take advantage of it. Continue reading

So Google has released as new development called Lively which is very close to Microsoft’s Live, in name anyway. This development is a futuristic virtual space that you can chat with your friends in. Personally I do not see the merit in this development unless it is big overseas say in Japan or somewhere like that. I’m not sure why Google spent a lot of money on something like this, I can only assume they are hoping people will nothing meaningful to do in their lives will find in and become regular users. Personally I think they would have been better putting the development money into a charity or at least giving it to me, go check it out and get me know what you think. Continue reading

So this isn’t want it sounds like, sure I will discuss Brisbane’s most popular lines to pick up guys and gals but it’s really about the interesting experience I had in the Valley on Friday night. Who knew being a Brisbane SEO was so interesting, going out in the Valley for the first time this year proven to be an interesting experience that I will not forget for a while. If you are remotely convinced this is worth your time and not just most hyped up Internet Marketing copy writing BS then go straight to the next page. I could tell you what happened in this Optional Except but that would such ruin the surprise on what might just be the best or the worst Brisbane Pick Up Line. Continue reading

I just downloaded the new version of Wordpress from wordpress.org and configured for a new blog I am creating. The first thing I noticed once it was set up for the new design and layout in the back end. Being so used to the traditional back end I decided to have a bit of a look around the features of the new Wordpress version. Continue reading

Last week I discussed the unique oddity of being ranked highly for both the search terms “best looking man” and “best looking site” while one of those rankings has increased, the other has moved off the first page. While I will turn my attention to ranking for more useful Brisbane Geo related keywords I thought it interesting to continue to share some of the keywords I am ranking and getting traffic for. I am sure you will be in for a few surprises as I was when I first discovered them so without further ado here they are. Continue reading

Last wednesday night I caught up with local Brisbane SEO Peter Newsome and local Brisbane Web Developer Nathan Ridley. Catching up with both was a great pleasure and I really enjoyed my conversations about our plans for world domination and grandeur with both of them. Peter is a very down to earth and grounded guy who is easily to get along with, Peter shared a few content creation gems that I will be utilizing a lot in the near future. Continue reading

This is a post about my unintentional hijacking of the keyword Peter Newsome in Google. Last week I just happened to make a post that exposed a revealing picture of Peter Newsome during his time off posting on his blog. You can see it here by reading the post below this one. Well it seems as per usual google dug the awesome content on this blog (to quote Ben Wilks) and decided to give me a double indented listing for the keyword “Peter Newsome”.

Since Peter and I have made an arrangement to partner together on some future SEO projects he is unlikely to be too upset but I thought it was funny to point out how this little blog is slowly aiding my quest for world domination more than I could ever have expected, one double indented listing at a time. For those of you not in the know double indented listings usually increase conversion by at least 200% and I currently as at the date of this post have the number two and three listings for Peter Newsome.

This post is mostly about being search engine friendly rather than Peter Newsome and I because we are not vein enough to think that you would be interested in reading about us. Continue reading

I have been preparing for the roll out of my business plan to take my company from a boutique marketing company into a medium sized consulting firm. Last year I decided to some what childishly start optimizing this website for the keyword “best looking man in Brisbane”. Peter Newsome from SiteMost discovered the competition and also started challenging for the keyword term. Soon several other Brisbane Search engine optimization professionals were competing for terms such as best looking guy in Brisbane, coolest guy in Brisbane (harder than you think in summer) and sexiest man in Brisbane.

Most of the time now when people talk about what I do to their friends they do not mention the good work I have done for them, they straight away mention that competition. Although it is slightly cheesy to helps create the notion of what business is meant to be… fun! Since I never really monitor this site much I was astonished today when I plugged into into the Google Webmaster Tool and saw what came up. Continue reading
