  • Google News Sources Grow 15% In 2012 & Continue To Climb With Patch.com In The Lead
    After seeing a 15 percent increase in Google News sources last year, a recent study conducted by SearchMetrics discovered that a majority of the News integrations displayed in Google Universal Search results are coming from AOL-owned Patch.com.

  • Avoiding The Keyword Research Checkmate
    Chasing after one specific keyword set can not only be frustrating, but also inefficient. The marriage of keyword research and content can result in strong, targeted pages that perform, reach the ideal demographic, and result in conversions — if you’re willing to test and think “outside the box.” Targeting keywords solely because they have a high […]
  • Take Our Survey & Help Update The Periodic Table Of SEO
    The only constant in search is change. The Periodic Table of SEO was created in 2011 to summarize the major factors that comprise search engine optimization. But, it’s time to update the table to review those ranking factors and make sure we’ve got the right combination. This year, we’re asking the SEO community to provide their […]
