seangw — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:14:33 +0000

Sorry for all the posts today, I keep seeing things I think people would want to hear. Google announced today that search will now include “Your World”. It’s a good idea to watch that Google Blog, always good stuff. Google needs to push Google+ somehow, and this will sure help. Including “Personal results” in search [...]

Why you should add Facebook like buttons

seangw — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 19:20:58 +0000

I still think at some point, Facebook will fade into our memories. It’s a safe bet.. given enough time. For now it’s time to embrace it. Until this past summer, I hadn’t added Facebook like buttons to my site. This was done because I was opposed to having those irritating social media icons all over [...]

Chrome beats Firefox in Global Usage

seangw — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 01:20:24 +0000

According to statcounter, Chrome overtook Firefox globally for the first time. My traffic still has Firefox at 25%, Chrome at 22.6% and Safari at 28% for overall traffic (most likely due to the high number of iPhone visitors, 25% of seangw.com traffic is mobile). Good to hear folks around the world are abandoning Internet Explorer. [...]

seangw — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:39:17 +0000

I was setting up a WordPress plugin, and it was asking me for my Google Analytics Profile ID. This shouldn’t be hard. Well, it is. Your GA Profile ID is NOT your “UA-xxxxxx-xx” number. Actually it is a 9 digit number unique to your site profile. To get it you need to: Log into Google [...]

An excellent write up over at Matt Legend Gemmell’s blog, SEO for Non-dicks, got me thinking again about the concept of “black/white” hat SEO. His blog post is in reference to an SEO speech given at BrightonSEO 2011. I need to get this out, and I don’t think it’s what you may be expecting… What [...]
