Not long ago I read that Google and others would soon be able to read the text content in Flash web pages. I thought at the time that many of the things that I have been saying about SEO and Flash are no longer true, but the more that I read about this the more […]
Google Is Getting Better At Reading Flash
I probably will still advise not using Flash for making the navigation for your pages, but Google is starting to look at your Flash pages with new eyes. They still probably won’t see your site like your human visitors do, but it looks like things are getting better for them being able to know what’s […]
The Right Way To Use Social Media
I recently read where a TV station in Philadelphia (CBS 3) is launching a revenue sharing partnership with local blogs and social media websites. This is a great way to promote your content. Paying them is probably even more than they need to do. Just giving them help promoting their content would probably have been […]
Do You Want To Exchange Links?
Yesterday I got an email from a pool company in Virginia. They wanted to exchange links with me. “Please consider adding our link to your site on your page: https://lillicotch.com/Blog/2008/02/28/add-additional-income-to-your-site/” For those of you who don’t have blogs, when you allow visitors to post on your site you will get blog spam. Some of the […]
Get Google Maps (And More) On Your Phone
I recently bought a Blackberry Curve smart phone and so far I really like it. It allows me to have up to ten email accounts which is probably the most important thing for me in a phone, but I love that it has so many built in features and many more that I can download. […]
How Can A Company Not See This
It’s is not my usual kind of post, but this drove me nuts all weekend. I bought a new GE Adora washing machine for Christmas. I even bragged about how well this washing machine worked for me. I know, a guy and his washing machine, you probably hear it all the time. This weekend the […]
Your Personal Information Is Not Yours
A couple of things happened to me this week that made me say Hmmmmmmm. I find it interesting how often things happen in groups. Maybe when I’m doing or thinking about an issue I’m just “tuned in” to finding more. First I got a postcard form my old High School, Taylor Allderdice. They are putting […]
Google Opens Up (A Little)
In an effort to open up their formally (and still) secretive formulas for ranking your web page Google has added to their Official Webmaster Blog. It’s a very nice post called “Introduction to Google Search Quality” and is written by Udi Manber, VP Engineering, Search Quality. He (I think it’s a he) explains that web […]
I Want To Be Found For Pittsburgh Web Design
A customer of mine, Talk’nTables asked me why he couldn’t be found on Google for his keyword choice of “tabletop advertising”. I explained to him that those words did not appear anywhere on his page. He needed to add them in the headlines and content of his page(s). Within a few days he was on […]
Cool New Free Tool – Freind Connect
This looks really cool. Google is releasing a beta version of Friend Connect, a service designed to let Web publishers add social networking features to their sites. You will be able to add social features to your site without any programming ability. They will provide you with some short snippets of copy and paste code. […]
