For most businesses there is a huge difference between what they would write for a printed brochure or catalog vs. what they put in their website. There shouldn't be that much difference. Content...

Quality content always trumps quantity for both business growth and SEO. If you post a poor quality article, who will recommend it via tweets or links? Even if Google sees more data to index it will...
I think failure is inevitable for most. I sure had my share of failures and I didn't always learn the things I should have (some of us are slow learners). But the more you fail the better it feels...
Great article. One thing that stands out to me is how the big Detroit investor and shareholders grew impatient. That is so common because young inventors/entrepreneurs always think they can build...
Hi Jim - there is certainly a lot of fear in the market amongst business owners re: script-kitties so there may be a market for a "security scan" type product, especially one that checks for things...
My key factors in starting and running a successful business:
Don't start a business just because there is a market for something, find a market for something you love to do.
Obviously have...
That's what I expected. Even if you can get people to sign a statement it would have to be something like: "I was going to do business with randombizguy until I was told [something slanderous] about...
Welcome. Look forward to your posts.
I think it's unfair to assume that just because a business has a cue gimmick that it will somehow affect what kind of clients they can get. Everyone doesn't have to be the same stiff, white truck,...
Glad to hear you got some advertising money. As I was reading all the posts the main issue that came to my mind was: what are you doing to get more clients? $1500 sounds like a pittance for a new...
The main issue is: if you use assets from the partnership to develop the product you are morally and legally obligated to get your partners approval to keep it separate (either by him gifting his...
It really depends on the niche the business is chasing. If they prefer the homeowner and small business market I think it's brilliant.
1. They don't want SEOs being able to reverse engineer the algorithm. They probably think the more that's known, the easier it will be to manipulate.
2. Their algorithm is a competitive advantage...
I think as long as Google refuses to share at least some data they will continue to sow seeds of doubt about whether they are truly being fair in their rankings. To support this statement I put...
If the majority of your friends know your ex-partner is a blowhard it's really inconsequential and most likely it will go away once the dust has settled. However, if it goes on for a long time you...
I've seen the disavow tool and I think it's a nice gesture by Google but in my view it's only helpful when some enemy has added a ton of bad links to sabotage a web site. Even then it requires...
Yes. I just had a bad experience with some of the Panda updates. All the long term sites I have been optimizing are doing fine. However a few sites that I have been optimizing over the last 12...
So many of these out there now. Snopes.com is a good place to check out the validity of some of these scams. BBB posted a warning on their website about the bogus emails ALERT Malicious Complaint...
(a voice form the distant past chimes in)
I know this sounds like a broken record but rich/meaningful/useful content earns links and there is no way around the fact it takes a lot of effort to...
My comments are not intended to call Google a huge evil monster. In fact I think Google is trying to walk the fine line of growing their business while not acting like a monopoly. A little bird told...
A slogan is so specific to the business it's tough to offer anything. The feeling I get from reading your website is: "A Passion for Writing", or maybe "I'm passionate about writing about your...
you shoulda been here 8 months ago when this convo was really hoppin! :p
I agree Google has a right to promote it's additional services (as would any business). But you hit the nail on the head with the observation they are "not including any other network beyond...
Google has certainly earned it's position as "best product" when it comes to providing search results for the majority and so have been placed in a virtual monopoly position through demand. I think...
There's a fine line between brave and stupid. Climbing towers without a harness was stupid ;)
