Every SEO agency has them and I'm no exception. The incessant if not obsessive micro searcher. We all do it to some extent. So why are the reports that I deliver not consistent with what you're getting in your own search results? Well... It's not me - it's YOU!

If you watch the latest Google commercials on TV, everyone is searching from their phones. They are actually typing in searches. That is soooo yesterday!

Google is still the dominant search engine by a fair margin but as the interactive landscape changes, so too will the search engine market. Do you know which search engine Apples persona relies on? You can probably guess who Cortana uses. You might be shocked to know that Yahoo! has a search deal with Google!

When the original founders of Google left Yahoo, they left with a big idea that would literally change the world-wide-web. The simplest thing in the world - seemingly - left in its wake a huge path of destruction. If you're wondering why Google is changing their algorithms it's simply a matter of looking at the beast they created. I'm am one of those beasts. : )

Google wants organic. Businesses don't have time to wait for that. So, SEO firms are hired to expedite the "organic" growth of a website. Well, then, that's not organic anymore right? Well, sort of. Few businesses make it without some form of marketing effort especially when starting up. Google wants to encourage honest hyperlinking. Not every hyperlink is honest. What used to be considered "white-hat" SEO is quickly becoming "black-hat" SEO. Here's how to know the difference.

We saw huge changes last year in Google algorithms. If you're not paying attention, you could be dropping in the search engines like a rocket! If there's one constant when it comes to Google, it's change.

Search, as you know it, will diminish. www.google.com traffic will begin to decline. Cable content providers like TWC will start to decline as internet content takes over. Here’s how to take advantage of these trends now. I’m not predicting the demise of Google, far from it! Search will find you… you won’t have to search SEO will still be a necessity (it doesn’t matter how the search is conducted…it just matters that you show up in the search). Here’s how Google will thrive!

You can't be EVERYTHING! In my experience, companies that grow in many different directions fall and before you know it they start spinning off those appendages and going back to their roots.

I was excited to see that Google offers phone support now for Google MAPS...that is until I called them.

Reuben H. Donnelley created the first official Yellow Pages directory in 1886. About a hundred years later the Yellow Pages saw inklings of its demise. Google's official birth date is September 27, 1998. And since we're into a mild history lesson - the internet as "www" originated around 1992. What made the internet so powerful was availability of information. What made Google so powerful was the ability to find the information you needed. What made it all possible was the personal computer.
