  • How To Create A Sustainable Link Plan
    I’ve recently spoken with three business owners who have approached me in a fairly atypical way: instead of asking me for a proposal, they’ve given me theirs.

    Several sites are touting a new voice search feature on the CheapAir.com app. The company says that it uses the iPhone’s own speech recognition capability on the front end but then does some semantic parsing on its side to deliver flight search results. I tried the app and found that its voice search fell quite […]
  • Google Gets Trademark Reprieve In Sweden Over Definition Of ‘Ungoogleable’

  • How To Estimate The Traffic Opportunity For Multinational Campaigns
    Recently, I was asked to run an estimate of traffic opportunity for a multinational sports franchise in which I modeled their current global traffic against brand visibility growth opportunities. However, I also identified that to make the estimate relevant, I needed to quantify the traffic more than they had suggested. So, like all good Web […]
  • Bing Offers Recommendations for SEO-Friendly AJAX: Suggests HTML5 pushState

    Don’t want your content to be included in many of Google’s vertical search services, such as Google Shopping or Google+ Local?
