I always like it when Google gives a little guidance in a process. Especially one so critical as moving a site from one domain to another. The larger the site, the more of a pain the whole ordeal can be. Today, the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog gives us some best practices for moving a website.

Shimon Sandler wrote an interesting article on CEO Bloggers and whether or not they should clear their posts throught their legal department that got me thinking about my current situation with company blogs. I love to push the idea of a blog to my clients, but with a strong air of caution. I’m also in a constant uphill battle with an agency I work for to either take their blog seriously, or remove it all together. I thought this would be a great time to go over some of the reasons not to start a blog.

I saw an interesting story on the news today here in Jacksonville, FL. The story was relating to the website ratemycop.com, and its validity in the eyes of the resedents here in the city.

With a massive poll of 2 people, WJXT Jacksonville returned the results. Half of the 2 people said they would use the site as a means of both investigating a police officer, and as a way to contribute experiences. The other half of the 2 people stated that they would take any information on the site with a grain of salt.

Mike Blumenthal noted on his blog, that Steve Espinosa noted on his blog (makes you wonder what we bloggers do all day, doesn’t it) that Google Maps is now allowing for the upload of videos.

While browsing over the latest Website Magazine, I happen upon an article titled «Landing Pages: SEO vs. SEM.» I first think to myself, «gee, isn’t the argument over by now?» It’s really common knowledge that SEO and PPC need to work together to be of greatest benefit.

This is a tricky subject. I really don’t like to cover it because I feel that sometimes the point is lost in translation, but I would rather explain it here the best I can as opposed to my clients/potential clients catching something online I don’t agree with. So today, I’m going to discuss identifying a quality directory.

As many blogs and sources I read, you would think that I share them a little more on my blog. Not too sure why I don’t, but I think I’m going to try. Especially the newer ones that are popping up and producing some really great stuff. Today, I want to shine a little light on a very important (if not tied for the most important) aspect of SEO, and an awesome blog dedicated to the subject.

I wanted to post something this week about the prices we SEOs charge, and what you can expect to see as «the norm.» However, sometimes, you catch a few other posts that do the subject justice. So, I want to showcase 2 of those recent posts.

Don’t worry, I’m getting some information together for the SEO eBook for this subject, but for now, these are great reads.

Today’s post is from a guest, Brenton Crozier. He is a freelance copywriter with whom I work closely on many projects. I asked him to give me something to help promote his new website, and he was all too happy to oblige. Thanks, Brenton!

As part of my initiative to take my freelancing SEO services more seriously, I decided to branch out to communities comprised of more than just other Internet marketers (sorry Sphinn, I still love you though).
