The question comes up during almost every conference at which I present.

"I hear what you're saying about writing quality content. But I need immediate results. What's a quick SEO copywriting fix I can try?"

I understand this mindset. I really do. Now that the recession is easing its iron grip on marketing budgets, companies are trying to make up for lost time. Now, more than ever, forward-thinking businesses have the opportunity to make a huge impact on their search engine rankings. And they're doing what they can, where they can—as fast as they can.

According to research done by W3 Schools, screen resolutions in Jan 2009 yielded around 55% of users operate at the 1024×800 or higher screen resolutions and to be exact, 40% of those users operate at 1024×768. Additionally, top companies like Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, and YouTube all switched their website layout to the standard 1024×768 in February 2008, to accommodate for the majority of web users out there. So, it seems that as technological advances are made and monitors become cheaper, the rate at which people are purchasing them and purchasing even bigger monitors is picking up rapidly.

So, does this mean that as screen resolutions become bigger and as we understand that the large majority of users use this higher resolution size, that we should optimize our landing page layouts for this size? In o...Read more

In response to the ubiquitous concern over search engine Page Rank,  today’s blog will serve to create a paradigm shift in the thought process revolving around PageRank’s supreme importance. The fact is that,  though PageRank is important—it is by no means the end-all-be-all.,

What is Page Rank?

 google-pagerank, PageRank is essentially Google and other search engine’s algorithm that determines the overall value of your site,  subsequently determining your placement in the SERPS., Page Rank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value.
