Page Titles Matter – A Lot Page title tags offer one of the easiest opportunities for small businesses to improve their website’s performance in the search engines and yet countless numbers of small businesses – and even some bigger ones – neglect this vital piece of the SEO jigsaw. Having said they’re easy, there’s a [...]
Is Your SEO Company Safe? Last month SEO agency iAcquire, in the U.S., was banned by Google for breaking its rules about link building. This post is aimed at non-SEOs so, for you folk, Google’s ban of iAcquire means that (at the time of writing this) you can no longer find iAcquire’s website in Google. [...]

Curiouser and Curiouser Search Results Yesterday. Whilst scrambling to complete my final preparations for a client meeting at 10:00 am yesterday morning (what ever did happen to those days when I could get to my former company’s office in Oslo, Norway before 10:00 am?), I did a few test searches and saw some interesting results [...]
Significant Changes in Local Search Results. Yesterday, I picked up a post in Search Engine Land by Matt McGee about 40 Google search quality updates in February 2012, also announced in the official Google search blog. At number 26 in Google’s list of 40 items, is an update dubbed “the Venice update” and Google’s summary [...]
Duplicate Content Case Study In this article, I’ll explain how to make profit from thin air by eliminating duplicate content from your website. No, this is not some shady ‘get-rich-quick scheme’ full of hollow promises. This is a real example of how the identification, diagnosis and elimination of duplicate content became the biggest single contributory [...]
Before I start, the image on the left of a copyright symbol is, itself, subject to copyright rules. Yup, I paid a couple of quid to use it here. The other day I stumbled across an example of another SEO service provider that had copied my content and published it on their website as though [...]
Click On This Image Click on this image, which I’ve edited to do my best to anonymise it, to see the big picture of the longest meta keywords tag I have seen to date. It is 2,843 characters long. No, newbies, I did NOT count them – thanks to Microsoft Excel’s @Len function. Yes, two [...]
There’s a lot of buzz (or steam coming out of ears) in the SEO blogosphere about cold calling and unsolicited emails from SEO companies. Even some of the biggest names in SEO get approached by complete SEO rookies offering to get them to the top of Google. Some of them make ridiculous claims such as [...]
V2 SEO Look, this is just a bit of fun O.K? Alright, there is an ulterior motive which I’ll explain at the end of this post. This is my car. Click on the image and you can read the domain address V2-SEO.com at the bottom of my licence plate. I hope so anyway because I [...]
PageRank Matters – But Not For Ranking Pages It’s hardly surprising that a metric like Google’s infamous PageRank is so widely mistaken for a key determinant of how well a website page ranks (how high up it appears) in the search engine results pages (“SERPs”). But it is a naive mistake to assume that a [...]
Earlier this week, Google starting showing much expanded site links in its search results for brand type searches. A search for many brand names will now show 12 expanded site links beneath the main results as in the one shown below for Marks & Spencer. Previously, much smaller site links were shown. The number one [...]

After all, SEO is just about (a) including your keywords on your website pages and (b) acquiring back links to improve your rankings and generate referrals. If you need to [...]
Can bad links hurt your rankings? It has long been debated whether poor quality or spammy links could actually damage a website’s rankings in Google. I read yesterday that over the last few months, Google has been sending out emails to website owners warning them about artificial or unnatural looking links. I’ve seen examples online [...]
Smart-Traffic.co.uk Play Hide and Seek [Since I first published this post, I received a reply from Stuart Pollington at Smart-Traffic.co.uk explaining how he believes this anomaly arose. Since my post allowed for the possibility of inferring that a penalty may have been applied by Google, I feel it would be unfair to do anything other [...]
