Sounds too good to be true right? Well, it isn’t.
While we SEO’s always try for the number one spot, it’s a popular “secret” that getting to that spot takes time. And most of the times, even with your amazing link building and on site optimization skills, all you can reach is the first page, and you hang in there for a long time. Jumping from Page 50 to… Continue reading
So, lately I’ve noticed that on certain search terms (couldn’t categorize them,so let’s say random), there occurs a single URL search result on Google. I mean, search results with just the URL, no meta tags, no page title nothing! If I’m not wrong, there have been no such occurrences earlier on Google. Here’s an example. Search for “wifi internet card” on Google, and I get this results page. The URL… Continue reading
I’m sure you would’ve come across several online marketing folks who would insist to do a Press Release every couple of months (sometimes even every week) and gladly spent thousands of dollars on it. Little do they know that Press Releases are a waste of time, if you don’t use them the right way. And sending one every month for every little thing that nobody cared for tells that you… Continue reading
Or regret. When ever I talk to brands about leveraging social media (sounds cliché eh?) for SEO, people have this “Oh no! Not again…” look on their faces. “We’ve tried it. Never worked!” – quips one.

You can do it… Continue reading

There has been minor and major changes afterwards, sometimes penalizing and sometimes helping websites bounce back their traffic… Continue reading
So, I was talking to this website owner the other day. His site had a problem. Couple of years ago, his site was ranking number one for certain keywords, but recently he has dropped significantly in ranks and newer websites have taken over on Google for the same keyword. It was a pretty authoritative website (and an amazing domain name) and I had known it for a while for being… Continue reading
When you go through search engine optimization audits for different websites, you can find that there seems to be a pattern in many of the less-optimized websites. Most of the times, certain SEO elements are ignored because they are not perceived as important as others. Sadly, had these SEO metrics been taken care of, it would’ve scored these websites a ten on ten. And that worries me as an SEO… Continue reading
