Making The Most Of Your Companies TV Exposure

So, getting ready to watch the Champions League on Tuesday I thought I would take the opportunity to catch up on some TV instead of listening to how this match was being billed to be an absolute classic and one for the ages (apologies for the bitterness and resentment, but I’m a jealous Arsenal fan). Back to the point I caught up on one of my favourite shows ‘A League Of Their Own’ during the pre-game chatter, and out of…

Google Hoaxes – That time of Year

So we are just over a days away from April Fool’s, and many people in Google have probably spent the past couple weeks thinking up some jokes of themselves to try and catch the gullible out – not Matt Cutts though, he has been far too busy informing us about the ‘new’ over optimisation penalties. Over the years Google has rolled out some classic pranks and many of us fallen to them – I myself have even been prone to…

Keeping Boredom Away Whilst Link Building

How can I make link building more interesting? At the moment I am in the middle of taking on a number of link building projects and as much it needs to be done there aren’t many of you out there that can admit that you look forward to slogging out a massive link building campaign – and if you are admitting it out loud right now, it’s only because your boss is reading this with you.

Pinterest

The latest social media network to be slowly sweeping its way across the pond over into Europe is Pinterest, and like Google+ 1 did, it requires an invitation but with many ‘experts’ in the SEO world making bold predictions on how it will be the next Social Media site to start taking up peoples time (free time that is… obviously) it may well be worth signing up to it. Although it’s still in its early growing days, more and more…

Easter Eggs From Google

Ok, so the sound of Easter eggs might have you drifting off and drooling at the mouth with the thought of the chocolate eggs you indulged in over the Easter break and taking you back to the days of when you used to go hunting for them, maybe you still do – no judgement passed if that is the case. However, I’m not actually referring to chocolate Easter eggs, but Google’s Easter eggs, those little hidden gems found across the…

Social Network – Film Review

How could Hollywood turn an intriguing story about Mark Zuckerberg and the fight for Facebook into a film that has shaped modern society and left such a lasting impression on people that have seen it? Fairly simple as it turns out, you have David Fincher (director: Fight Club) using every inch of his brilliance and vision to bring to life the script of Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing). Who did create Facebook? If that is the answer you are hoping…

A history of Google’s Hoaxes

Every so often we like to partake in a prank or a Hoax and guess what, Google is no different. They love a prank and they love doing it to a mass audience as well (basically all those that have a computer). Starting in 2000 Google has been planning hoaxes ever since, with most of them being released on April fool’s day – who would have thought it. Now I know that many of you are reading this and thinking,…
