Long Live SEO

[caption id="attachment_2033" align="alignleft" width="288"] Long Live SEO[/caption] If you were here yesterday, you saw that I posited that SEO Is Dead. It is, as we know it. Sort of. Gone are the days when an SEO could throw thousands of backlinks at a site and get it to the top of Google. No, nowadays, especially after the Google Panda and Google Penguin search engine algorithm updates, you have to be more pragmatic, more careful, and more strategic. You also need more patience. Tools like SENuke, which used to be pretty http://profitpathz.com

Can Yahoo's New Axis Browser Give Google a Run for Its Money?

On my last post we briefly dived into Microsoft's So.cl site providing convenience to their social media site that Google failed to do. In this post we will look at Yahoo making some unique advances to the search engine experience. For quite awhile now, Google has completely dominated the search engine arena. So much in fact that many browsers began to just have their engines powered by Google. But here comes Yahoo with a new browser that may just turns some heads. It's called Axis and they just might be onto something here. http://profitpathz.com

Can Yahoo's New Axis Browser give Google a Run for it's Money?

On my last post we briefly dived into Microsoft’s So.cl site providing convenience to their social media site that Google failed to do. In this post we will look at Yahoo making some unique advances to the search engine experience.  For quite awhile now, Google has completely dominated the search engine arena.  So much in fact that many browsers began to just have their engines powered by Google. But here comes Yahoo with a new browser that may just turns some heads.  It’s called Axis and they just might be onto something here.  It’s not perfect but it is convenient and cool .

Google Algorithm Update (Revision: I originally had planned to make this a single post, but when I got to 1700 words, and hadn’t gotten to the “Google-proofing,” I decided to break it into 2 parts.) We have admittedly lain low on the topic of Google updates like Panda and Penguin . There are several reasons and now that those updates seem to have taken the internet world by storm and caused many internet marketers a ton of grief, we now feel compelled to say something about it. We will also—at the very end—offer our recommendations on how to deal with what may have happened to your search engine rankings as well as how to prevent issues from recurring or appearing in subsequent searches after Google makes algorithm updates. Google Algorithm Update Here’s the backstory. 10+ years ago, a little search engine came into existence. It was created by two Stanford graduate students: Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The dominant search engines at the time were Yahoo , Alta Vista ,
