Customizing a blog is so much easier today than it was just 1-2 years ago. It was a headache back then. The separation of content and design (CSS movement) has played a big part in this. So has the ability to customize and use custom domains on third-party hosted services like Blogger and WordPress.com, as [...]
Just created one on Lead Generation & SEO as a way to test out Blogger, and it seems as though I’m taking an interest to it. I don’t have time to manage one blog, much less two… but I’ll figure this out as we go along. This site may turn into more of [...]
I found this post on SEOmoz which referenced this post on TopRank’s blog and posted a comment. As I’ll do from time to time, I’m going to steal my own content and paste it below… my thoughts on “being famous” in the SEO community:
Lee – excellent post. I know many SEOs who spend [...]
Executive Summary: Six months after we moved out of our old office and “transferred” our Comcast internet service to our new office, we were still receiving invoices for the old office… plus those for the new office. Finally they’ve stopped sending those invoices, though we’re still waiting on the refund we were promised. [...]
(Non-SEO Post, but fun!)
Found this blog post about an old-school cell phone making a comeback and then found this site where you can pimp out the old-school cell phone to give it a makeover. Hilarious!
I normally don’t even bother responding to generic emails that indicate a person is looking for a job when they are too lazy to spend enough time on my website to learn my name and at least a rough idea of what the company does. However, every once in a while I get in one [...]
Well I’ve got a few nice anti-spam plug-ins and other features in place now and thus I’m re-opening comments on this blog for the first time in well over 6 months.
** crosses fingers **
One of the methods required that I register with Wordpress.com and get yet another blog. Well, I did. It will [...]
I have recently been inspired to grow my one-person (well, sorta…) SEO and web marketing shop to a slightly larger venture. The reason: larger projects. Larger projects and more projects – strangely enough – require more time. Apparently there are only 24 hours in one day, no matter how hard I [...]
I’ve just completed a white paper in collaboration with Scott Johnson of Rock Creek Creative. Scott and his team actually wrote the bulk of the paper, while I did some editing, revisions and made some suggestions for additions. The white paper is titled “Increasing Website ROI Through Search Engine Optimization (SEO)“. That [...]
I just stumbled upon this post by Sadish of WPThemes.info – http://simpleinside.com/posts/2005/10/03/the-arrow-and-the-song/. In the post, Sadish references a poem while discussing his thoughts about blogging, lack of interest/response, etc.
THE ARROW AND THE SONG
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the [...]
Just a quick note to apologize for any issues over the next week or two, as I’ve upgraded my WordPress and am sort of redoing the site. As such, it may have CSS issues and whatnot. My time working on this site is very limited, so I’ll do the best I can with [...]
I just changed the official title/name of this blog. Formerly the Jon Payne (.net) Search Marketing Blog, its now the Jon Payne (.net) Web Marketing Blog. Notice “Search” was replaced by “Web”. A very small change, but important nonetheless.
Why the change?
With each day that goes by I am more and more convinced [...]
So I just had my first appearance on TV – on Business Connection on Maryland Public Television (MPT/PBS). I’ve been filmed many times before, but typically just in producing historical copies (I film each lecture I give to try and evaluate myself – although rarely do I actually do the evaluation, but that’s another [...]
