Amazon Prime Keeps Getting Better, Pushing Services Like Shop Runner Into Obscurity On my lazier days, I will order from Dominos Pizza. Ordering online is a breeze but you’re always hit with taxes and the dreaded delivery fee, wich is especially painful for me because the Dominos I order from is two blocks away. When […]
What is Digital Point? I’ve used Digital Point for several years and it’s become an invaluable part of coming of age as a SEO Professional. Although a lot of the threads are spammy – filled with black hat practitioners and Indian SEO companies looking for a fast buck, it still is the most expansive and […]
The Rise of Web-Based Software Remember when we used to get AOL CDs in the mail? Or how about purchasing Microsoft Windows at Office Max? Those days are long gone. In a wonderfully realized act of “creative destruction“, the internet has effectively altered the way in which we use software. With the rise of web […]
We’ve all seen some scary (albeit accurate) results in Google search results as they pertain to information pulled from the “knowledge graph” – Google’s ongoing project to present accurate answers to our questions in search results. “Big Love” and the original theme song “God Only Knows” that accompanied the opening credits are two of my […]

When coming across WordPress “haters” I’ve pointed to several high profile websites that use it as their primary Content Management System, chief amongst theme being Mashable. Today they’ve announced a redesign as they’ve undoubtedly moved to a more scalable, […]
The blog over at 37Signals, “Signals Vs. Noise” has undergone quite the facelift. I navigated to it through Google Search and couldn’t believe that I wasn’t seeing the site through the lens of Evernote’s Web Clipper, an incredibly useful tool that displays web pages as plain text and images (sorry PPC advertisers, I prefer a […]
A lot of fuss has been made over Googles extremely aggressive push to start using more meta data (markup) to organize websites that contain elements like reviews, audio tracks, product prices etc. When done properly, a website using this structured markup stands to benefit greatly with click-through rates in search results.
