If you’ve been watching your Google rankings any at all lately, you may have noticed your website going up and down in the SERPS like a Yo-Yo. Don’t be alarmed. Most everyone’s sites were affected by the latest SERPS earthqake. No one is real sure what the deal was/is with Google....

I constantly implore my boys to take their online profiles very seriously. A month doesn't pass before I ask them to expunge from their Facebook pages any obscene wall posts and photos in which their "friends" tagged them in some state of unseemly debauchery, e.g., beer pong games or dubious attire....

This is my week to rant about Google so just let me be for a second. I have been doing random searches everyday in areas and verticals that I don’t typically search on just to find some funny search results that don’t make sense or where the SEO pro’s have worked the “Google ...

Update: Turns out I’m no longer listed in any Google SERPs, not just ‘Andrew Parker.’ My site was hacked (yet again) and contained a TON of links to porn sites which were made invisible with a CSS trick. I upgraded my WordPress install to the latest version and removed all the offe...

In November the much-maligned latest Google Pagerank was released, taken from an October snapshot. My site was granted a PR4, after only 2 months in existence. I can’t give you a guaranteed way to start a site and attain a decent pagerank in only two months. I can tell you the things that I di...

John Chow's brag of how he retook the number one spot back has a lot of people congratulating him for the achievement.
