The Five Hardest Industries to Get Ranked in

2008 Aug 29th

Though this may read like a short version of the seven deadly sins, it is actually a list of the five hardest industries to get a website ranked well in.

You may notice that your junk email folder is currently full of emails from companies in these industries, hounding you to use the money you win from their poker website to buy penis enlargement pills to take while you look at their porn. That’s because these industries are so large, and these kinds of companies are such cut throats that they have no reservations about sending out ridiculous amounts of spam emails and doing whatever it takes to be on top of the search engine results.

SEO Friendly Flash (In the Pan)

2008 Jul 7th

Have you heard the news? Flash movies can now be crawled by Google!

Some folks would have us rebuild the entire internet in the light of this revelation. I mean it’s like some designers fantasy to have the rich user experience of a Flash without the painfully obvious downside of being about as good as not having anything on the page according to Googlebot.

There are a huge amount of add-ons and toolbars available to enhance your Internet experience or, in our case, make our jobs easier. This is a list of the most popular ones being used at SEO Inc.

1) Web developer toolbar: We use this toolbar ALL THE TIME; to check server headers, take a look at the document outline, quickly see what a layout will look like at 800×600 (although no one seems to care anymore), measure something on the screen using the very convenient ruler feature. And once in a while I use the speed report feature to turn my complaints about a slow server into some actual numbers that I can base my recommendation to switch servers on.
