Staff got some time on their hands? Here’s some SEO related bits n’ pieces they can handle
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: April 7th, 2008 Published in: Blogging, Link Building, Marketing, Public Relations, Social Media Marketing, Traffic GenerationSomeone asked me the other day what their staff member could be doing to help with SEO as they had some spare time on their hands. While there isn’t really a perfect answer that will fit any business, these tips should be useful on the whole (not in any particular order)…
Karma be gone! Reporting paid links to Google is a legitimate business move!
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: January 16th, 2008 Published in: Google, Link Building, SpamDavid Wallace has a nice write up about reporting paid links to Google this week, which is based on the back of a poll by Blogstorm. Both posts have some interesting comments on them and while I don’t agree with some of them, the articles are well worth a read. The key areas that grabbed my [...]
Why in-house link building isn’t a practical solution for most companies
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: December 1st, 2007 Published in: Link BuildingADDED: Welcome SmallBusinessNews readers! Just an advanced warning that this article contains a range of profanities. But seeing you already read the article over at SBN or by email that’s too little too late ain’t it? Perhaps that should be the motto for the SEO industry? Ho-hum. I read an article over at SEW today [...]
v7n now selling contextual links
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: January 24th, 2007 Published in: Link BuildingHat tip to John Scott who’s now offering contextual links for sale over at v7n. Also note the landing page is almost entirely composed of images which I would guess is an intentional little experiment to show the value of link weight over on page optimisation.

Google Backlink Update – Jan 2007
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: January 11th, 2007 Published in: Google, Link BuildingFor all those back link junkies out there, Google have / are in the process of updating back link counts. Fused Nation for example has gone from 29 to 83 (thank you blog tag game!).

Heh gotta love the SEO community!
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: November 20th, 2006 Published in: Link Building, Rants n Drama, Search Engine Optimisation, Speculationhttp://www.webmasterworld.com/google/3158871.htm Basically the original poster asks a question about duplicate content based on a blog post he read (I assume it was this topic from Pubcon): “No two links should point to the same page” Why not?  Anyone expand on this? A reasonable request based on a topic which is pretty complicated. However the resulting “discussion” made [...]
Link building basics
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: October 26th, 2006 Published in: Link BuildingInspired by post about link exchanges on a business forum, I thought I’d knock this together – nothing new here for seasoned SEOs, so feel free to move along, but those new to the industry may get some use from it. Link exchanges have had a bad rap, but generally aren’t as effective as they [...]

eflaunt re-designed
Posted by: Marketing Guy Date posted: August 3rd, 2006 Published in: About Fused Nation, Link Building, SEO Agencies, SEO ServicesTime for some gratuitous self promotion – I’ve just finished the design for my SEO agency, eflaunt. Still got a little work to do on the content – I managed to get myself neck deep into writing items for eflaunt’s SEO glossary – it’s a bit of a pain to do (given that it’s really basic [...]
