Learning The Internet


You know, there are SO MANY new programs and websites coming out online daily that it’s not just difficult to keep up with them but you also have to consider the time it takes to “learn” them.  At least how to use them. Personally, I find it difficult to find the time (as I’m sure [...]

Review of Article on SEO Tips


One of my favorite online reads is SEODesignSolutions.com – the articles they publish are so “to the point” and pragmatic that it’s refreshing!

Google Webmaster Tools and CTR


There’s one tool that’s absolutely necessary when it comes to Internet marketing and that is Google Webmaster Tools (GWT).

Website Placement – Attracting Traffic


A web designer I work quite often with sent me a link to a video she found about keyword strategy to increase website traffic. The source of this interview has increased his website traffic from 3500 a day three years ago to 80,000 a day today. So, I took a moment to look it over [...]
