SEO and Blogging Basics- Why SEO Works

Blogging and SEO are inseparable. The blog is perhaps the defining website content, and blogs cover every imaginable subject on Earth. The trouble is that low grade SEO, or non-existent SEO in many cases, is an own goal for blogs. If people can’t find your blog, how do you expect to get read? SEO is a logical approach to a basic online issue, and it’s more of a science than anything else these days.
What “Sandra Bullok” Taught Me About Building Links Through Email

This is a guest post by Brandon Hopkins
When I first got the email from “Sandra Bullok” I was excited. Did she want me opinion on Jesse James? Was she looking for a movie recommendation? Did she want my opinion on Beiber??
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the real Sandra Bullock, just a spammer. However, for the record I think Beiber gets a bad rap!
JD Salinger, Blog Stickiness and How to Disappear from an Active Site

And there I go again, writing what I want to call an SEO blog and then putting a title on this post that guarantees nothing. But I am currently a self-supporting SEO (i.e not looking for clients) so who gives a shit if my posts here rank for anything. So I can disappear like J. D. Salinger for periods of time and really not care too much about it. There are just other things to do and I write this blog for shits and grins now. I just linked to fricken Wikipedia, for crying out loud. That’s because I am lazy and don’t want to explain shit. And, damn it, I like cutesy titles and mixing unrelated topics together and seeing what comes out on the other end. It’s called analogy. So I figured I could at least be nice enough to define things a bit. I can do SEO on the other sites that make money and just shoot the shit here.

And here are some similar phrases that I put in the same basket:
- “We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality.”- George Bernard Shaw
People I Have Worked With in Kansas City

Since I have starting working on websites here in Kansas City, I have had the chance to work with a lot of local tech people. And since I was freelancing here for a bit and have not decided to shut that part of my business off at least currently, I thought I could send some people in the right direction if they need web design work in Kansas City.
Canonical Tag Flying Under the Radar?

This is a guest post by Craig Smith of Trinity Insight.
In early February of this year, search engine representatives within Google, Yahoo, and MSN (before it was Bing) made an announcement into a uniform method of embracing a new html tag to reduce duplicate content for a webmaster. This “canonical” tag, which would be inserted within the HEAD portion of any HTML document, is a great way to reduce potential negative affects that can happen when you have the same page indexed multiple times under a variety of URL’s
