SEO Inc. Takes Search Engine Strategies SF by Storm!

Share

search-engine-strategies-san-francisco-drawingFor those of you who follow the SEO Inc. blog (the blog you are on right now), you know that we went to Search Engine Strategies (SES) San Francisco last week. Here is a quick list of how it all went down.

  1. Great Speakers
  2. Good Food
  3. Met Lots of People in the Industry
  4. People Love the SEO Inc. Booth Girl
  5. A Massive Prize was Given Away

I’d like to focus on the last two items on this list if that is OK…

So the gorgeous booth girl, or the very nice women dressed in a boxing type Halloween costume, was there to promote our special giveaway (and our search engine optimization, social media marketing and reputation management services of course). What was the giveaway you ask? How about hotel accommodations, and tickets to a boxing match in good old Las Vegas! For those of you who are boxing fans, the tickets are to the Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez fight. The fight was actually recently postponed. You can read about that here.

During the event we collected cards. Then, at 2:00pm sharp on Tuesday, August 17th, we announced the winner. The buzz around the giveaway was really something special. You could tell that everyone in the crowd was really hoping to win. We pulled the first card and the winner wasn’t there to claim the prize. We then pulled the second. No one there to win, again! But the third time was the charm!

Social Media Links Helping SEO, Whhaaaat?

Share

Is it true? Could it be? Are social media links actually starting to affect SEO? Well if Google Webmaster tools’ reporting is any indication of link recognition, then yeah, they are. But before we jump to conclusions, let’s elaborate on the topic a bit.

We are now seeing that links which are present in Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn posts are being recognized in Webmaster tools as external links to the domain which the Webmaster tools account is tracking. This is a new development. So what does this mean for search engine optimization and social media?

It’s Official: Google Adds Caffeine to its Brew

Share

Google Caffeine

Today Google formally announced on its blog that it has completed its launch of he new indexing system dubbed “caffeine”. Google originally announced the caffeine indexing infrastructure in August of 2009 and then launched a version of it on a single data-center later in the year. Today’s announcement makes it official that caffeine is live on all Google data-centers.

Highlights of the Caffeine Announcement

  1. The size of the Google index is larger than ever
  2. Google claims that all search results are 50% fresher meaning that new content being added to the web will appear in search results faster. This does not change the frequency of Google’s indexing of websites, it simply means that new information is pushed live to the index faster than before.
  3. Storage Capacity Increased Greatly- Google’s caffeine currently requires 100 million gigabytes of storage. (that’s 625,000 of the largest ipods to you and me).
  4. The primary reasons for the update are to deliver fresher content at a close to real time rate and to create a foundation for the future as the internet grows.

Apple Says Flash is Bad

Share

It is a rare occasion that Steve Jobs comes to anyone’s rescue but I will say that today I am thanking him for helping all SEO Consultants by laying out his objections to flash. Mr. Jobs recently posted an open letter on the subject of flash in which he states “Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.” The letter outlines six reasons why flash is no longer necessary including the facts that it is not an open platform, drains battery life and does not work with the modern “touch” devices that most of us are using now.

TP Turmoil Erupts at Search Engine Optimization Company

Share

Completely unexpected, odd, scary, there are many ways to describe the incident which occurred at search engine optimization company, SEO Inc. today. But no matter how you look at it, it is definitely funny.

Upon arriving at SEO Inc. this morning it was quickly realized that things were out of sorts, in particular, Jay Dunigan’s office suffered a serious blow. Let the picture explain.

 Search Engine Optimization Company Office TP

White sheets of unpleasantness lined Jay’s walls, hung from his ceiling, blanketed his windows and occupied a significant amount of carpet space. Jay’s office had been, you guessed it, TP’ed!

Search Engine Optimization Inc. will be using their Internet marketing skills to find the culprit. Each of us is furiously Googling away. More on the story as it develops.

Until we find the person responsible, feel free to read some recent posts :)
