Outsourcing SEO to India – Dumbass 101
Let the rant commence! I know...shocking, right? While the title pretty much sums up my feelings on the issue, with the number of ridiculous link exchange requests I get, I figured it was time I officially out this nonsense as the douchebaggary it is. As any professional link builder will tell you, HOW you request a link is an exercise in the art of persuasion. You are asking for a favor of sorts...initiating a relationship...trying to build a rapport. Like a dude in a bar trying to pick … [Read more...]

WordPress Security – Not Just For Big Boys Anymore
My latest post, published at Search Engine People, is all about WordPress security. There may have been a time when only large publishers had to worry about security, but not anymore.

WordPress does a decent job of plugging security holes as they're identified, but leaving the security of your site completely in their hands is idiocy. … [Read more...]

The Dangers of Oversimplifying Niche SEO
About two months ago I built a new website for a wedding planner in Houston. This client also happens to be a friend of mine from high school. Knowing what I did for a living, she reached out for some help improving their website and building a more professional & consistent online brand. Of course, I was happy to help. When I began the project their existing website didn't rank in any search engine for any keyword term other than their exact brand name. As is the case with many small … [Read more...]
