I've recently been contacted by several clients wanting to talk about, "This SEO Stuff." I am always thrilled to take these calls because there are some really great things that my clients (and I) can do to better optimize their sites for search engines. However, these clients are not always thrilled to hear what I have to say. Few of my clients lie awake in bed at night wondering how they can drive traffic to their sites through search engines. For some, that's not even on their radar. However, an SEO matchstick man out there, preying on the uninformed, will blast them with an apocalyptic email "informing" them that their sites doesn't score well. Panic ensues.

In July of 2011 I wrote a post pitting Google Plus vs Facebook. There was plenty of hype surrounding the new contender, and large swaths of people signed up only to quickly fizzle away. The general consensus was, "Yeah, it's nice, but there's no one here." A lot has changed in the past two years, and I think it is time to revisit a few things. In fact, I have four reasons that you might want to give Google Plus another try.

We've all learned the importance of "knowing our sites" through 3rd party analysis. So, I'm sure that everyone is paying attention to their numbers, right? Good. Well, today we are going to talk about your website's bounce rate and how we can keep it to an appropriate percentage. As always, it's important to get the grammar down first.
Bounce: a single page visit to a website; a visit to a site that ends without another internal page being view. Note that time spent on the site is not a factor.

If you've ever talked before about a particular page on a website, chances are you may have committed a major faux pas by referring to it as a "tab." Here's the thing: Most websites have a navigation of some kind linking to the pages contained therein. Somehow these page links have become known to some as "tabs." The whole idea is just strange to me. How did navigational page links get that title? Just as a refresher, lets look at the true definition of the word tab.

With Independence Day just before us and the PRISM leak close behind us, I thought it would be appropriate to talk a little about internet security. One might well recall the SOPA outcry of 2012 and wonder how we went from the public refusal to sensor to the private decision to survey. That is a good question to ask. If for no other reason, it is our responsibility to know our rights and speak up for the ones we want to keep. Perhaps the more pressing question is how you and I should handle our information in this digital world.
