A little over a year ago I created this post, calling out anyone using Web CEO, SEOmoz’s Rank Checker, or SpyFu as being dishonest. My intent wasn’t to make anyone feel guilty or really call anyone out, my intent was that hopefully someone could convince me I was wrong, and that violating Google’s terms of service is, in fact,…

How ironic that after writing this post about automatic queries, I should be the one to get penalized for supposedly sending automatic queries.
All I was doing was manually typing in some keyword searches, and bam! I got the screenshot you see below. The restriction lasted for about 20 minutes and now it works again, but not after seriously…
As the owner of an SEO firm I get a lot of people who want work sending me resumes, emails, etc. I probably get 10-15 of them per day, and most don’t catch my eye and are promptly deleted or filed away. But every once in a while something special comes across my inbox, and this email was one of…
Ever done something stupid? Well, read this post on Google penalties, and then come back and finish reading here. Oh, and read the 3rd and 4th comments.
Yeah, stupid. I’ve found when you make a mistake the best thing to do is to own up to it, and then find something interesting you can learn from it. Aside from…

Or perhaps I should say “What is sedat yüksel?” In the analytics stats for my SEO firm I see that my firm’s site has received 14 visits in the past 30 days from people who searched for the keywords “sedat yüksel”. The thing is that the word “sedat yüksel” do not appear anywhere on my site. And if I…
PPC in the news on NPR. A decent piece on the basics of using Google Adwords. Hopefully this will drive more and more advertisers to PPC and SEO. Maybe this is why some SEOs are seeing the growth of their businesses while traditional advertisers are hurting?
If you do a search for “301 redirect seo” you’ll find all sorts of how-to guides on how to create 301 redirects, the right way to create them, and you’ll learn a lot about the value they provide to the site you’re redirecting to. What I can’t find is what a 301 redirect does to the old site, or the…
I don’t know about you (please chime in), but since the beginning of the year my SEO firm’s business has been picking up. Maybe it’s just a fluke, but the same factors that make search engine optimization a good marketing tool in any economy make it especially good in a down economy. That is, SEO is relatively inexpensive compared…
Just added the DoFollow plugin to the site here, so your comment profile links are no dofollow instead of nofollow. The funny thing is I actually thought they were dofollow to begin with. Enjoy!
Warning: If you’re the type of person who would rather remain in ignorance because you think that makes you innocent of any crime because you don’t know if you’re committing one or not, then you probably won’t want to continue reading. Of course now that you’ve read this it’s too late.
Disclaimer: I’m not really calling you a liar, cheat,…
