Brakes Plus is a locally owned brakes repair service in Colorado and I really like them. I rarely throw out unsolicited “kudos” but I need to.
Why? First, getting your brakes repaired is scary - you never know who you’re dealing with or if the service will be fair. Fortunately I know a little […]

Frustrated with the same scraper splog for a while, pagerankpimp.com (many of you have noticed this in your Wordpress dashboard) - I’m happy to see they have apparently been nuked. Hopefully the efforts I’ve put forth finding others scraped by them have resulted in their AdSense account being banned; hence their removing the splog, […]

Defamation Per se
Some statements are so defamatory that they are considered defamation per se; and the plaintiff does not have to prove that the statements harmed his reputation or that the statements were false.
The classic examples of defamation per se are allegations of serious sexual misconduct; allegations of serious criminal misbehavior; or allegations that a […]

Sloppy and unethical SEO’s are walking a fine line between competitive SEO and committing crimes.
I’m getting a lot of queries for some terms that most wouldn’t see on this site for the posts containing those words are now deep inside.
I’m also getting a lot of hits from known ip’s that are watching and waiting for […]

More and more as we work and play services and toys are netting together with web technologies that weren’t in existence at the turn of the millennium, under your nose and in plain sight. Just as we voluntarily accepted the carrying of GPS locators (cell-phones) we are also volunteering our personalities. Would you have done […]

The diagram to the right is to aid you guys who may later complain about splashback.
Here’s a quick ramble, not a rant. Another common sense issue. A while back I wrote about some sites getting “penalized” by Google after the discovery of some spammy techniques used to boost their search rankings.
I bring this […]

So I was away for a few days. Yes, I was playing with my new toy. Go get your girly gooey gadget (I did) but don’t cry when you drop it - the scuffs and scratches may do just that!
I KNOW! EVERYONE is blogging about the iPhone. I’m not. […]

Greg Boser - the evil SEO that has done what he was contracted to do is suspected of committing a horrible act, HIS JOB.
As posted in forums and blogs all over the real estate space and even on Matt Cutt’s blog, real estate website owners are very upset that Google has penalized sites employing tactics […]

Just have to say how nice it is to FINALLY have a client that is interested in their web presence as I am. Too often (especially the last 6 months for me) I find people who has a great idea. They want is marketed to the moon and back. We meet, we […]

Consumers are, well, consumed - thinking that a little number up in the Google Toolbar is the end-all and be-all of a website’s success.
Few SEO’s regard it as anything but a “foolbar” of sorts. I get all kinds of silly rants like “but it’s a pr3, why is that pr2 doing so well” while […]

I rarely retract the truth, but am withdrawing this article because of the ethical choices made by the article subject. Everyone makes mistakes, and I’ve needed 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th…) chances too. All comments from before are off as well.Thanks diggers, let me know if you ever need recip.In case you’re here to […]

I recently helped an associate who sadly was not happy with their host. So, they came to me for some REAL SEO and help.
They used electricstores.com of Denver for a few years. Now, this WONDERFUL company REFUSED to allow access to their server, refused to
