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 [...]

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.

SEO: Black vs White Techniques

seangw — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:06:36 +0000

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.

Top WordPress Plugins: Headspace2 replaces All in One SEO

seangw — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:20:59 +0000

I have been using and recommending the WordPress plugin, All in One SEO, for years now. It is solid, provides the ability to manage terms that were more difficult before. Enter Headspace2.
