The national average cost for a gallon of gas is soon to hit 4 bucks. Unemployment is on the rise. Food costs are starting to skyrocket. Needless to say, nerves are a bit jagged in the marketplace these days. So what does a business do?
In a previous post, (Fight or Flight? March 18, 2008), I […]

Have you tried to field quotes from SEO services providers lately? How did it go? Do you feel like you would rather have bamboo shoots hammered under your fingernails? Did you think that there is no way that this is a real industry considering the variety of claims, pricing structures and “information” that is out […]

I often feel like I am blogging about the painfully obvious. There are things that I type and eventually post which appear to fit in the “Well, no kidding….

I was discussing what you should be looking for as you try to decide who will have the honor of doing your company’s SEO work. I am not kidding when I say honor either. You eventually […]

Normally I wouldn’t pay any real attention to the story I am referencing here but it was one of those that was both tragic and funny at the same time. The New York Times actually put ink to paper (or bytes to memory……whatever) about the fact that two “major” bloggers died of heart attacks in […]
