53 WordPress Plugins You Should Be Aware Of
WordPress is today, one of the most popular platforms used for building websites. From a teenage kid in his or her bedroom to a large global organisation, WordPress is being used the world over!
One of the main reasons for the popularity of WordPress is it’s ability to support “plugins”.
These plugins make it really easy for someone who has little to no knowledge of coding sites, to implement a whole host of features including search engine optimisation, graphics, structural changes, social media integration, automated tasks and many more with new plugins…
The UPSearch train is running full steam ahead and yet again we’ve grown, so this month we welcome Andy who will start as an engineer on our SEO team. He’ll be helping us work on SEO, PPC and Social Media Campaigns for various clients.
So, Christmas is just around the corner and we’ve been planning our Christmas do this week. This time last year there were just 4 of us and by Christimas this year there we will be 12 – so we’ve grown considerably, so much so in fact that we will shortly be moving offices…
SEO is constantly changing, and that’s because search engines are changing, internet user habits are changing and most of all technology is changing; it’s getting better, more widespread and more powerful.
Any SEO company that is still using the same techniques that they were using 3-4 months ago to get rankings, traffic or sales for their client websites are already well behind.
I sometimes don’t even know why we continue to call it SEO anymore because what we do for our clients is so much more than that. What we provide is actually a full service digital marketing campaign…

If you haven’t already heard about Google’s new social network, Google+, then you’ve probably been conducting some wierd experiment involving being locked in a room with no outside communication. Or perhaps you’ve been trying to live out one of those “New Life in the Country” type programmes to escape the rat race but it didn’t work out because you forgot you hate badgers? Either way it’s time to pay attention because this time Google means business.
After the mega flops of Google’s previous social network and collaborative media projects, namely Buzz and Wave, I think Google’s finally learned enough from…
The sun is out here at UPSearch HQ and new proposal requests are still coming in fast from potential clients, so much so that we will shortly be recruiting again for an SEO engineer at junior level.
Hey you! Yes you – the recruitment consultant - not so fast – put the phone back down…this isn’t for you I’m afraid. We generally get loads of CV’s direct from some rather good candidates so your services won’t be required for this one plus we won’t be allocating any budget for recruitment fees – so unless you want to do this…
As we head towards the middle of 2011, yet another tech company announces its IPO; this time it’s professional networking giant LinkedIn with an estimated valuation of $9 billion. This valuation exceeded it’s expected value of $4.3 billion which, as some people have said, “Not bad for a social network that isn’t Facebook”.
Why all the fuss? Why the huge valuations? Surely these companies aren’t making that much money? Facebook the big daddy of the social networks reported that in 2010, it raked in $1.12 billion in revenue yet some sources say that Facebook could be worth…
