Online videos are making their way into every niche of the web. Wherever you go on the internet, it seems video clips are taking over. Online videos are so popular, there are television shows dedicated to them. Granted, going viral is the exception not the norm, but still, it’s an incredible medium. Videos and YouTube have become powerful tools, not just for entertainment but also for education and business. But…
A few weeks ago, something I had wished for, for years, came true when I bought the entire Developer Shed network of sites … and I’m so excited! Where do I start?….Well, back in 2002, my buddy Darrin Ward had created a Google Dance Tool to alert people when Google was Dancing (updating). Towards the end of 2002 Darrin also started an SEO forum called SEO Chat (today a Developers…
Let’s start with this; I’m not a football fan. However, since I married one, my television has often been commandeered for games and sports show. So last night, like a good wife, while “Grey’s Anatomy” was recording on DVR, I watched the NFL draft. I’m not even going to try to pretend I understand all of the strategy and machinations that go into the draft. But to get through it,…
This past Sunday was our 13th anniversary of the day I bought 2 urls….www.webuildpages.com and www.findyourdreams.com … so we just had our 13th birthday as a company….yea!!!!! So normally, a 13th anniversary would call for lace, fur or some other textile…. I’m not into curtains or table cloths, so instead, in honor of “Lucky Number 13” I’m taking 40 of my ninjas to Las Vegas for a long weekend. In…
Last year around this time I did a post for Search Engine Journal about Link Building New Year’s Resolutions. They were some pretty general goals that any link builder can achieve. This year, surrounded by a team of Ninjas, it seemed like a great opportunity to get a little more specific. If you’ve ever wanted to get into the mind of an in-the-trenches Link Ninja, here’s a look at what…
Working on the blog for only a little while, I’m still surprised at times that there are close to 500 pieces of SPAM to delete on any given morning. I know I shouldn’t be. But I can’t help but wonder why such a wasteful, useless, destructive process still continues. Then the logical half reminds me that, oh yeah, it’s cheap, easy and extremely difficult to hold people accountable. Blog Comments…
At first thought, you might not want live next door to a band of Ninjas. You think, they’ll be up all night scaling walls, they’ll borrow my Nunchucks and never return them, and they probably won’t rake their leaves either. I get it. No one wants a dojo of degenerates bringing down property values for everyone. Fortunately, we’re not that kind of Ninja. In fact this year we’ve worked hard…
I’m currently in a hotel room in Melbourne Australia….the prior two days I was speaking about Panda and Link Building at SMX and Online Marketers Conference here in Melbourne….Last week I was in Vegas for Pubcon speaking on Links and Tools…last month I was in the Ukraine for the Optimization.com.ua speaking on Panda and SEO, the prior month I was in Brazil speaking at Expon, The previous month it was…
It’s taken almost a week but the jet lag and Vegas withdrawal has almost worn off…almost. Last week we debuted our re-brand and ran our first trade show booth. It was more exhilarating than the rollercoaster at New York, New York (Which we also rode). There was a bit of a “battle of the black T- Shirts” in our corner with both the Ninja booth and the Raven Booth handing…
