Inbound Links Are The Best Way To Help Your Search Rankings

You Can Buy Page Rank
It looks like the CircuitCity.com name has been sold for $14M. I just read about it on the SEOBook website. Here’s the thing, if I were to sell recommendations on my blog posts here and provide links to my sponsors products (and not use nofollow) Google wouldn’t like it very much and would probably penalize […]
How To Get Unexpected Customers
A little while ago I noticed on Twitter a post by a local SEO company that was trying to get Pittsburgh to #1 on Google for the term “best city in the world”. I realized that this was more about them than Pittsburgh, but I was a hometown boy who likes his city and thought […]
