Throwing SEO Bones Over Cliff
On November - 21 - 2006
I just have to say how satisfying it is to mislead a competitor’s seo or webmaster by throwing out misinformation on forums you know they use as a resource. Hey, maybe in 6 months we’ll be competitors again.
Hint: Using Front Page on your site places a generator tag in your source, and flags your skill level. (You may also want to change that robots revisit tag to 10 days)

What A Satisfying Shame
On November - 6 - 2006
What a great day! A major competitor of a client of mine has panicked. Don’t get me wrong, I really respect this company, and they’ve been a worthy adversary for a time. They must have thought the same of my client because they have completely rewritten their website. Yes the site is beautiful. Yes the site is informative. YES, IT’S COMPLETELY FLASH DRIVEN. Everyone, you must understand that search engines need content to deliver to users. They DON’T CARE about you, your business or your pretty logo. Read the rest of this entry »
