I've stated in the past that there are some products and services that Facebook just isn't a good advertising medium for, and I certainly believe that to be true. However, for some kinds of products it works well, as I've recently experienced after launching ShareWith.me. (Incidentally, if you haven't looked at ShareWith.me since my last [...]

Bing It On! Guess Who Won?

Jonathan Leger — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 02:37:24 +0000

I read a news article today about Bing It On, Bing's blind test of its own search results versus Google. Their claim is that people choose Bing's results 2 to 1 over Google when they don't know what engine is returning the results. In their words, "People are surprised because of how deeply the Google [...]

All Your Friends and Neighbors are Doing This — You Should, Too

A few months ago I traded in my truck for a large SUV. While we were at the dealership, the salesman (whom I've bought from before), was telling my wife and I about other people he'd sold the same model vehicle to. I found the tactic annoying. "So what?" I thought (and discovered later that [...]

Geographic diversity. It's a requirement for getting links to your site, right? That is, if you want to rank in Google, then you need to make sure that you get links from all over the place, because Google won't rank a site if all of its links come from web sites that are too "close" [...]

Jonathan Leger — Thu, 24 May 2012 05:51:58 +0000

In my last blog post I talked about how to rank in Google after their Penguin update. One of the things I pointed out is that Google is penalizing sites for "anchor text over-optimization." That is, if you get too many links with the exact keywords you want to rank for in the anchor text, [...]

Ranking in Google after Penguin.

Jonathan Leger — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:44:27 +0000

My family and I recently visited the Dallas World Aquarium. They have a lot of great exhibits with some cool exotic animals, including penguins. One thing that really surprised me about the penguins is how bad they smelled. I mean, it was awful. That's why I think Google's naming of their latest update is so [...]

“Google’s out of business!” Are you?

Jonathan Leger — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 04:46:21 +0000

The headlines are in. The world is dumbfounded. The stock markets are reacting badly. Google is out of business! Let's suppose that tomorrow the governments of the world decide that search engines illegally use other people's content without consent in an effort to enrich themselves. (Wait, I might be onto something there... Nah!) And let's [...]
