Straight from Google – Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking
October 28, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
I've heard this before, but was a little skeptical that it was true. Now you can see for yourself - Google does not use your keyword meta tags in web ranking. Great, now I can ignore my keywords, right? Well, not exactly. I think it's safe to say that as far as Google is concerned you don't need to add a keyword meta tag, but you still need to be concerned with your keywords in terms of … [Read more...]

SEO is going well for me lately. In just the last couple of weeks, since I've started paying attention again to marketing and SEO I've seen an increase in my traffic and my Alexa ranking.

My first plan of attack is my content. I believe that … [Read more...]

I feel like I've finally come out of the "new baby" haze. You know that feeling you get when you've endured months of nighttime feedings combined with the hormonal daze that you're in after giving birth. Not to mention trying to figure out a new routine, which is impossible because your new little bundle of joy changes his mind every other week about what his routine is.

Adding Relevant Titles to your Pictures can Boost SEO for your Boutique
October 1, 2009 by ·
Word has it that Google and other search engines will use picture names in their algorithms when determining where to place sites in their search engines. So, instead of naming your picture bow76589.jpg, try baby-hairbow-76589.jpg. Search engines read hyphens as a space (you should never leave spaces in your picture names) and you just added two keywords to the page. If you have 3 … [Read more...]
