I’m looking at the BMW website and I cannot believe it. They don’t seem to know to have unique and descriptive title tags for each page. Who is doing BMW SEO? I have no idea whether it’s in house or out house, but for a few quid I could advise them a little better. [Read more…]

UK SEO
I found Brighton SEO a while back, I just wish he would bloody blog a bit more, the chap seems to know what he is talking about.
It?s a good time to be a UK SEO. There is a lack of expertise in this area and currently demand is outweighing the supply. This is certainly going to benefit a lot of the seasoned pros, as more and more set up internships and conferences in order to increase the UK offering.
Working on a clients website is sometimes like being Paris Hiltons lawyer

How not to ask for a three way link exchange
I received the generic, unsolicited email below asking me to link to crap website 1 and I will get a link back from crap website 2.
Firstly It’s obvious that this is an auto generated email running through a bunch of urls targeting “cornwall”. If they actually read this site they would realise I am an SEO consultant and an SEO blogger. Not the kind of site that will link to a spammy link scheme. [Read more…]
