What The Heck Is SEO? A Rebuttal!

Okay, I’m supposed to be “off” for Xmas…but this just in!

If you know anything at all about online marketing, the website smashingmagazine.com would be a spot that you’re already aware of…least in my world it’s one of the leading places for all things on marketing in various channels.

Rank Tracker Keyword Research Tool: Updated and Better than Ever!

Working with any ranking software package, is a very hard usually laborious set of tasks, and for us SEO practitioners,  it’s really no different – till we moved away from our old ranking app to the Rank Tracker app from Link-Assistant about 18 months ago.

No surprise really…as a google on the “best rank tracking software” shows them right up at the top with 5 of the top 10 positions. We have reviewed this app before – here – and as you can read there, we were impressed with their offering of quality ranking algos versus the cost…and judging by all the SEO peers I know, it’s a widely shared respect.

A recent look at this area of interest, i.e. the link that “should” exist between SMBs  and SEO here in Canada has shown one thing big time — that for much of the SMB world, such a knowledgeable link does not exist! And how did I learn that? Simple, I found the info both here at DIYSEO and the link from there over to the Ad-Ology Research site offering up the full report here…
