This is a large site that turned out to have lots of structural issues, server errors, disappearing pages etc. A bit more than the SEO-101 I though i’d be doing, but a lot got covered, all in just about 12 minutes. As always, anyone else’s input is...

This is a quick 3 minute look at the new Google experimental view options, and how the searchers behavior and intent will change the serps at the click of the mouse. This is just a glimpse of what’s coming, and I sort of like it. I thought this was neat, and it...

This morning it looks like Microsoft is offering 44.6 billion dollars to buy Yahoo. Holy Cow. That’s a far cry from the usual things I see when I browse my morning Twitter feed. Actually, I’ve been wondering what’s taken them so long, since...

I just noticed a change in Google’s listings, and I hope it’s permanent. Google local is now showing 10 single line listings above the regular organic listings, instead of 3 multi-line listings, and they’re showing all 10 just taking up the same...

MiaDonna.com requested one of my free website review videos based on what I consider to be the top SEO 101 factors. Since they have over 170 pages on the site, I went on a bit longer than usual, just over 14 minutes, and also made some specific recommendations, which...
