Thanks for stopping by and reading the latest tips, tricks, information and annoyances that cross my path in the SEO world. As a full-time search engine & online marketing consultant I work with some amazing brands and get to experience the very sharp end of SEO, the highs, the lows and - ultimately - the rewards.
I manage a few WordPress blogs as do most people involved in SEO, and I have run into a similar problem with all of them – the ability to specify a unique H1 on just the homepage whilst the blog & category titles are the H1’s throughout the rest of the blog. The majority of WordPress blogs do not allow you to do this and replicate the Blog Title throughout the website.
There are several ways of changing your WordPress template to allow you to setup a unique H1 for your homepage. (more…)
On the 4th September this year I will be heading down to Leeds with Mediaworks to attend Think Visibility. I have to say I am looking forward to it greatly! Having lost my conference virginity earlier in the year SASCon, I am eager to attend further conferences, particularly Think Visibility. (more…)
We work with Google Analytics daily; it provides us with lots of amusement, but also frustrations. During a query that arose in the Mediaworks office surrounding uninviting an invited account from Google Analytics, Dan Hoggan brought to light a slightly annoying, yet deceptively brilliant problem with Google Analytics. Looking into it in a little more detail, we discovered a great little trick that you can carry out with Google Analytics to cause chaos and mayhem to a fellow user you don’t like, be it a competitor, an ex-employer or whoever you hold a grudge against.
The process is simple and all you require is the email address of their GA account. You don’t need to know the password or anything else, just the email.

Whilst looking into a potentially new Google SERP highlight, dictionary results, I stumbled across a fantastic Google Suggest…
Retarded Google?
It was recently announced that World of Warcraft maker, Blizzard Entertainment, are going to take their recent RealID service and implement it across their forums. Users will no longer be posting under their online aliases (character names) but will instead be posting under their real names.
I have to say I am shocked at how incredulous a move this is by Blizzard. Players of World of Warcraft invest A LOT of time into the game, and more often than not they are very competitive. Imagine what damage you could do with someones real name. *cough* Facebook *cough*
