Well I am sure most people have already noticed we have not been posting. It is not out of laziness but we just have too much work on and we need to put our clients before our own projects!
I am hoping that once our SEO team is fully developed I will be able to have some time to do a little more blogging/research/experimenting and maybe even get involved with the SEO community a little more!!
Sorry for the lack of posts we have had quite a hectic year so far. Both the SEO and Web Design side of the business is extremely busy with out SEO clients grown by 3 fold so we have just not had chance to blog.
Due to our quick growth we have just signed a lease for new offices in the centre of Blackpool Town on Clifton Street (First Floor 32 Clifton Street). It is a nice spacious 1100 Sq Ft so we have plenty of room to grow. We also have a nice new staff room with a 50″ Plasma, XBox 360, and Nintendo Wii. I say staff room but you know it was only really for my benefit!
Unfortunately we haven’t actually had chance to do half the decoration or even put our branding and company details on the main doors yet! Once it is all sorted I will post pictures and details so people can actually find us.
For the time being we will be keeping our old postal address. The office is owned by European Transport Solutions who are friends ...
An excellent opportunity has arisen within our Blackpool based office as a Junior SEO Executive / Online Marketer. You will be part of a small but growing team where full training will be provided.
This is an ideal position for a University graduate that looking to get a foot on the ladder. Ideally from a computing based degree though all candidates with a good technical knowledge and a passion ...
North South Media have been doing an SEO league table over the past few months based on the rankings each company achieves within the search engines. As part of our on going SEO on our own site we have gradually moved up in the table and finally been ranked at No 1 for the UK results and No 2 for the International Results. While the league is not official or even that serious it is nice to be identified as one of the top SEO companies in the UK. Congratulations to Hobo Web and Just Searching for achieving No 1 in the Scottish and International results.
I’m easing myself into work by doing a couple of blog posts before I start work on our clients! Along with neglecting blogging have have neglected reading Sphinn and other blogs recently. One of the Sphinn topics I noticed was by Copy Brighter on SEO techniques Google has smashed in 2007. One of the reasons I like posts like this is because I see so many SEO companies still practicing these techniques or advising their clients to use them. I have no doubt many of these companies will continue using the techniques throughout 2008 and onwards. One of the key jobs as an SEO is to actively read Blogs, Forums and other information sites in order to keep on top of the regular changes search engines make to their algorithms/rules. While it is impossible to know the exact Google algorithm it is often publicly announced when Google make an important change. Some of these changes include:
Unfortunately the drink and debauchery has had to come to an end and we are now back at work, though not at full capacity until Monday.
First of all I will apologise for the lack of posts recently, December is a bit of a hectic month at the best of times but we have also taken on 3 new clients, and been looking for new larger offices.
I will be trying to spend a little more time blogging over the next few weeks.
Hopefully we can also have the new offices sorted by the end of this month, but we will be keeping the postal address the same in order to avoid confusion for our clients.
I hope every one had a good break over Christmas and hope we all have a profitable year!
After a previous post regarding Tindall Marsh & Co using our design we are in discussion about resolving the situation. I have spoken to the owner and hopefully the problem will be sorted without too much incident. It would appear the situation occurred due to a rather foolish designer whom has now left the company, and the owner has expressed his apologies. So thank you for the quick resolution.
Ok I am being petty again, but I have decided that I am going to create a page dedicated to all the crap SEO spam emails we get. If I remember correctly another SEO company was listing them on their own site, so if anyone remembers the site let me know and I will give them some link love for the idea.
My main reason behind this is because it is funny how stupid SEOs make themselves look when they spam other SEOs with SEO services. I ...
Ok so I know they are not going to stop spamming but I am still going to moan about it.
Approximately 2 days every month we get an email from this seoedge.com, either through our main email or our contact form. Every single email has been regarding buying links on one of their sites or link exchanges. One email even apologised for disturbing me and they will not do it again!
One of the amusing things I noticed many of the ...
Well it has been a few weeks now since Microsoft opened the Webmaster tools and also made the Link command work again and I have been trying out both of them.
Firstly the Live Search Link commands, this now works by using + in front of the command then the URL you want to check. Therefore instead of link:dolphinpromotions.co.uk it is now +link:dolphinpromotions.co.uk. Joost de Valk pointed out that Live Search appears to obey NoFollows which is pretty useful as Yahoo is quite frustrating when showing all the NoFollow links. It also groups together the sitewide links well and the tool is usable through the API. Overall it is quite good news, it appears to be more accurate than Yahoo and obviously the Google one is not very accurate.
