Update your copyright notice. Wordpress users, depending on your theme - your copyright may be echoed and you don’t need to worry. If it’s not and it’s hard-coded in your footer then fix it in your theme’s ‘footer.php’ file. You can do this in your WordPress Dashboard if permissions were set properly by your web team. Clients- no worries, you have all been taken care of. Everyone, have fun and be safe.

Wow, I really do go a while without writing about SEO. So while I mostly throw out tips and toys I need to remind myself (you?) that I run a Reputation Management network from Denver and I’m pretty much the only real SEO in Denver.

Though there are some others with “SEO packages” they really aren’t at a level that could be called professional. Yes, they do come up in the SERPS for ONE OR TWO phrases (good going guys). I think I need to put this site back on top again.

Subsequently, I amended the …click here to read more

I like to make it easy for my readers to notice instantly if I have a new post upon visiting my blogs. Using avatars is a way. I like to make them somewhat attention grabbing. Immediately readers see there’s something new.

I’ve been asked where I find them. All over! Over time I’ve built up a library of images found on the web. Some from royalty free sites, from myspace, free avatar sites and so on. …click here to read more

It’s easy, it’s legal and it’s safe. STOP paying Apple to make custom ringtones for your iPhone! If you think iTunes is the only way beside trying to hack your half-grand toy then think again. iTunes makes you PAY, hacking can “brick” it - but a quiet release of Garage Band will do it for you.

Upgrade Grarage Band to version 4.1.1 for iLife ‘08. You already paid enough for your mac and handheld wonder-toy so don’t worry-Apple won’t either. …click here to read more

I was emailed today and notified I was mentioned on c|net. Cool - my template for iPhone web apps was the story.

Executive Editor, Tom Merritt at c|net networks says that I “have a reputation”, have “great friendly hacker tools” and that I’ve “been around a while”.

The coveted “double listing” or “indents” on a Google SERP is not an accident or just plain luck. Site architecture and link strategies working in concert is what will reward you with a double listing. More importantly it will generate more visits to your site - that means more money!

But why stop there? Niche Saturation is not only about getting to page one. Not just about being #1 and #2. Not even about being #1 - 6!

It’s about displacing your competition. It’s about creating the illusion of greater choice to searchers and funneling money to your pocket.

Yes, I’ve been a little busy. I’ve had a few “Where are you’s”, “Are you dead’s?” and such. No - I’m still kickin’ around but did have to take a bloggin’ break to finish some projects. I learned to NOT announce my breaks for that’s when I seem to get hacked…..

As well as finishing some custom WordPress themes I’ve enjoyed the company of some Colorado NSA members (what a GREAT bunch of people) and also attended a few Holiday - EXCUSE ME - I mean CHRISTMAS Parties - I am not that p.c. …click here to read more

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 that 10 years ago if you saw the “big picture” then?

The value of knowledge - “content” is not intrinsic but lies in its use. Search engines are the intermediaries between knowledge (information) and the people. But most forget the middle man - the authors and contributors. Us - and what we build. …click here to read more

Apple will be releasing a firmware update very soon to version 1.1.2.

If you have “jailbroken” your phone, don’t install the update for it will most likely “brick” your phone to a useless paperweight.

Jail breakers, be sure to check your firmware version before visiting the snap-app site for one missed click could trigger the auto-install of their highly cool package. (but not so cool if your phone isn’t matched. No link provided for your safety - google it to get there)

If you are updating BE SURE to restore your phone through iTunes before updating. Those with hacked phones better just wait and see what happens with this update.

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 up because of a recent devaluation of some websites by Google. PR, green pixels, the almighty little bar that some webmasters use as a gauge of the worth for their website have some people flustered tonight. …click here to read more

I’ve talked to many about video and websites, WordPress and how to put it all together.

Many people have discovered that embedding a YouTube video to their WordPress blog theme can break it up. True. Though fixing it in the code view of your article is one solution, there’s great little plugin that will do it all for you.

It’s as easy as can be, this plugin will inject a button in your toolbar. Click it and it’s just like adding a picture, the plugin doeas it all. Not just YouTube, but google video and more, even supports quicktime. this is a must for anyone on WordPress that wants quick and bug-free abilities where it comes to adding video. …click here to read more

Going back to what I do, I’m an SEO here in Denver. I was asked today about my little tagline I use in email: “A Denver SEO That Shoots Straight” I used to have and here it is. It’s a play on words. In my former life I was an officer. Today, I’m an SEO. Neat huh? Shooting straight, that’s my way of saying I don’t sell snake oil or confuse you. I offer an honest service and explain my methods. …click here to read more
