SEO DeveloperAre you Google analytics qualified? Or do you think
the piece of paper is load of crap and can prove you're better. * Do
you eat custom profiles and advanced segments for breakfast?
Were you

while your colleagues are sharing susan boyle youtube videos
Does
Internet marketing hype piss you off? Yet you stay on all their mailing

Google real time indexing

Google real time indexing

Have you heard of PubSubHubub? Well you'll soon feel the effects of it in your searches and your rankings. It is a new realtime publishing protocol that Google is working on to index the web. This is a major game changer. Eh? I hear you say... basically content publishing is going real time.

Do you use sidewiki? Well it's now available in Webmaster tools. If you use it I'd love to know why & how.

Mark Dreyfus Email Still haven't had my first email to Mark Dreyfus responded to yet but here is a follow up question which I will be sending today.

Hi Mark,
Still waiting to hear back from you on my technical question regarding your Government's proposed ISP mandatory filter.

I'm getting a lot of friends and family asking how can they bypass the
filter. If I was to explain to them that simply downloading the TOR
plugin (free) for their Firefox browser, would bypass the mul [...]

Has your Google map been hijacked by a competitor
Has your Google local business listing been hacked or is it just busted?
A florist received 100 hours of community service last week for
hijacking someone's listing.

Ranking is easy. Ranking for the right phrases is the hard bit. I answer
a viewer question about keyword analysis.

One of our clients is was asked to appear on A Current Affair (ACA) talking about a

exposed skin than a lot of people, I'm still not qualified to talk
about Obagi :)

Our client gets called on a lot for their professional opinion in the media. If you do a lot of PR or get asked for your comment as a professional, It is a
good idea to have a think about the key phrases that will stick in
people's min [...]

it did last year) or breaks for whatever reason? How is our Internet

Page rank subdomains Youtube gets censored

Page Rank, subdomains & Youtube censorship. Are you still worried about Page Rank? Don't be. This week I explain why.

Got wwws? Do you really need them? What is best practice with subdomains?

Senator Conroy now wants to protect you from YouTube. Apparently he met with Google to discuss. So this week I continue my series on how to get stephen-conroy.com no.1 for the phrase "stephen conroy"

links filters and your ranking

Links filters and your ranking

Getting the right keywords in your links on your site can really boost your rankings. If you sell baby gifts, why link the word 'product' when you could link the phrase 'baby gifts' ?

How will the Australian Government Secret Blacklist Filter affect your business? There's been a bit of chatter this week that it will affect SEO, the problem is a tad larger than that.

Woohooo! You're no.1 ....or are you? How to double check your r [...]

Google Index SearchEver had the feeling that Google hates you? You're not alone! It can be very frustrating when you think you are doing everything right but you still can't get ranked, yet sites above you are no where near the "quality" of yours. It could be that Google is seeing something completely different. Today I look at an important technique that can save you a lot of time & heartache.

Google Billboards & busted news
The owners of stephen-conroy.com were directed to our show last week where I showed how their site could benefit from a better redirection. Talk about networking :) They've done half the work & it's already had a positive effect.

I don't know about you but my Google news alerts are busted. One of our other viewers is getting news alerts with links sending him to hacked sites. That's not real helpful Google. Is Google broken?
