Google organic clicks affecting rankings

Oct 10, 2010 by Paul White

If you ask google how do I get the top ranking for my website, they will tell you its all about quality content.  But the problem is a search engine spider can't measure the difference between quality content and crap.  So this brings into question is google slowly starting to tweak their algorithm weighting it more on organic reaction to your website?

Constant Contact Review Pros and Cons

Oct 4, 2010 by Paul White

The chances are you have received bulk emails from promoters and businesses who use constant contact.  Some people are wondering if constant contact is worth it?  Recently I had the need to setup one of my clients on constant contact so we could blast to our maillist.  Normally we would blast from our own mail server but after the recent move to a new datacenter and getting a new IP, we are starting from scratch with our IP reputation and therefore suffer from terrible delivery rates.  Once the major ISPs can figure out what kind of operation we are running our email delivery should return to normal.  In this post I discuss Constant Contact's pros and cons from my short term experience with them.

Modern Day Slavery in America

Sep 2, 2010 by Paul White

Even though Slavery as we think of it, was abolished by Lincoln, back in 1865.  Slavery still exists today.  I am not talking about blacks doing manual labor, but the daily routine so many Americans take on just to live.  Recently I had an opportunity to talk with a wealthy business owner about the state of business and the economy.  Overall it was a great discussion, of which I wanted to share some highlights.
