I read on the CNET News blog this morning that Google.org are now investing in Twitter and Facebook in an effort to aid the Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases and Disaster (InSTEDD) organisation.
In a previous post (see Twitter, a fantastic waste of time) I suggested that Osama and pals might use the technology to aid their differences against our American bretheren, or perhaps ‘Twittter consoles’ might be used for tactical precision strikes on the caves in the Tora Bora mountains, so it’s nice that someone has thought of a much more pleasant and socially positive use for the technology!

I had to laugh… my business partner Allan sent me a link to a search forum he was busily posting away on the other day. On the forum there was a guy (who shall remain nameless because I don’t want to give him any credit at all for anything) who was insisting that we knew nothing about search engine optimisation because Allan was asking questions on the forum about on-page optimisation! The guy went on to talk a total load of crap! More…

I got a call this morning from a nice chap who informed me that he was building a shiny new site for a customer that had cost £XXX thousands, and he has now been commissioned to find someone to do the search engine optimisation…
I had a look at this shiny new site to give him an estimate on how much it would be to pick his work apart and do it properly for the search engines only to find out that it was all controlled by a custom content management system and would therefore be a total nightmare to alter to make it search engine spider (and for that matter ‘all browser’ ) friendly, as the site was built to use all manner of Internerd Exploder addons (insert version number here) which don’t work in Firefox or any other browser.

How annoying is it when you spend a good two hours writing a new post about something which you think is brilliant and then the evil scrapper robots out there scrape your site straight away and have your content ranking higher on their site than on yours! More…

In order to optimise a small site the diligent SEO must pay attention to many issues both on and off page. Whilst this is a reasonably specialised skill its not rocket science. SEO is not a black box of tricks and spells, its really quite simple stuff, and most people who read a lot will easily pick up the basics. So why is it some of us are more highly regarded, dare I say it more highly paid? Personally I think one area that takes a lot of experience is the ability to optimize and get high rankings in Dynamic sites. More…

Now this has always, since day 1, been a really good directory to get your site up the rankings. Recently of course the guys over at Best Of The Web have done a great job of improving the look, feel and usability of their site which has helped to gained them a very high PR7 ranked website. In addition to this they have also launched their blog directory which is both a good place to list your blog and a fantastic resource. Link below: More…

I’m sure you’ve heard the story, one of your potential customers has had a website for many years, they want to come over to your SEO and hosting service and work with you but their present hosts are holding them to ransom. “Pay us £XXX amount of moolah or we won’t release your domain name, will take your website offline and stop your email”. Hardly what any company owner wants to hear!
We abhor this sort of treatment here at FireflySEO, and whilst we recognise that bills have to be paid for services rendered, there’s no excuse for this sort of behaviour when someone simply wants to move hosts. More…

Well all the bubbly has been drunk, the memories of too much turkey and mince pies have been washed away, and we are faced with another year of Search Engine Optimisation. So what exactly are we going to do with ourselves this year?
Well, as some of you have been asking us this question, we thought we would give you all a brief synopsis.
I have been discussing with my business partner the possibility of expanding our video posts this year, as such we plan to release a series of search engine optimisation videos. For the ladies out there, I’m sorry to inform you that we had a toss of the coin and I lost. I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on myself, some people tell me I look a bit like Easy Rider. More…
