Google+ Author Linking And The Shift Towards Branding Your Content
There seems to be a lot of change going on recently with Google in an attempt to further improve their search results. It appears that the shift is moving towards “branding” and putting your name to anything you produce online.
If you think about it, by putting your name to your content you are going to make sure that what you put out is quality and not some rehashed rubbish that the Internet is now littered with. Well let’s face it, if you don’t produce quality content and your name…
As today is Twitters 6th birthday I thought I’d write something Twitter themed. Below are a few of the people I find the most interesting/useful to follow:
Pete Cashmore @mashable
The guy behind my favourite tech blog mashable.com – covers all sorts from social media to gadgets to gaming to dev, etc… He posts pretty much all day and it’s mainly articles that have just been posted on the site but it’s a great way to keep up without having to check the site all the time.

. . . It is, just bear with me on this and you’ll see where I’m going with it.
Anyway thanks to the social media explosion, people now have the power to “vote” and “share” your content in their social networks. Is this important? . .…
Why Do I Need To 
Blog?

This is fine and your website can still work well for your visitors, but after some time in the view of the search engines, you website can appear out dated. So how can you overcome this issue without having to change your content frequently?
An easy answer is adding some form of dynamic content, such as a blog or news page. Dynamic content is important…
As an SEO Manchester Company, we like to keep on top of the latest news from our good friend Google and as Google release a new privacy policy, I will explain what this means for you the user. So here goes…
What Google has to say:
“We’ve been tidying up a little, making our privacy policies and terms more consistent, easier to read and easier to understand. You see while privacy policies, ours included, may not be the most popular read on the internet, we think they’re important. So instead of over 60 policies…
