Yeah, it is that time of year again, time to make new year promises for the new year, 2012. Promises that you probably never will be able to keep..:) But anyway, it is always good to set goals! Here are my new year promises for 2012:
Today we are going to talk a little more strategic, about how you can plan your content for gaining some super good results in the local search. There are much less competition, and visitors are much closer to buying if they are searching locally, but there are of course a lot less people searching that way. Anyway, I am going to show you one easy method for content optimization for local search. Read more
Okay. Now we are going OFF-TOPIC again. And big time. This post is not even mentioning Facebook or SEO, the things that I usually write about. But I know that my colleagues (Sebastian and Rasmus) desperately needs to know this before they go for skiing vacations, so I will drop it here on the blog, wether you like it or not. Read more
When programming or making websites, it is quite hard to stay focused, and the time might fly away when doing other stuff than what you are supposed to do. I read about a technique where you need to focus for 25 minutes, have a five minutes break (Not optional), focus for 25 minutes, have a five minutes break, and so on. It is called the pomodoro technique. You should use a timer for making this work. Read more
On this blog I am testing a lot of different types of blogposts, I like to see what works and what do not (What kind on posts gets visitors). I have mainly been writing about things that considers my job as a web developer and search engine optimizer at Genero, but every now and then I try to inject humor or posts in a completely different genre than SEO and technical stuff. And after analyzing the amount of visitors for a while, I have recognized two posts that differs from the other. The two posts are the ones that gets the most traffic, one gets visitors continuely, every day, and the other one got a good amount of visitors for two days, but not much after that. I used different techniques when writing the two blogposts, and these two techniques is what this blogpost is about. Read more
Now it is time for world war 2 on Facebook. I like the new way of telling the youth history. You remember my first post with historical Facebook updates? Of course you have to tell history by making facebook-updates to make the youth of today understand it. Here is an awesome picture describing the second world war, Facebook updates by the involved countries: Read more
The Webbhotell City Network has a smart blogging competition where they gives away an iPad to the person that has the “best” blog. Their guest bloggers is going to decide who wins the iPad. I Think this is a very smart way for them to get A LOT OF LINKS, because you participate in the competition by writing a post in your blog and link to their website in the post. I think a lot of persons (including me, you see) is willing to share a link on their blog for the opportunity to win an iPad. This, for the price of an iPad, gives the company City Network a lot of relevant inlinks. Read more
I participated the search marketing expo in Stockholm 28 & 29 September. We were told a lot about keyword research, onpage optimisation, technical issues and also my favourite, link building. We were told to give feedback about the expo by filling in a form there, with an oldschool pen, by hand(!), in the most developed internet country in the world! I feel that I have to give you some feedback online also, we can’t leave it like this. So here comes a toplist of the top 3 speeches on the expo, as I see it: Read more
I guess that you all have tried to google your name sometimes. if not,
Did you get many hits? Did you find yourselves? Did you find a lot of articles written by others? It’s not really a big deal if there are artices about you (or somebody named as you) on the first page, you can quite easily push them don to the second page, and as we all know, if it is not on the first page, it do not exist. But why do you want to reign the first page with your own pages for your own name? Not many people is probably searching for your name anyway. But, there will be some important people searching for you, these would be the boss in your company, the boss in the company where you are applying for a job, the potential business-partner that you met yesterday, the important sales-contact you got, and so on. There will not be many searches for you if you aren’t famous, but the searches you got will be really important ones! You do not want any of these people to find any crap written about you or any other people named as you.
