Rick Maggio — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:33:55 +0000

I think that WordPress is one of the greatest CMS tools around. I’ve blogged a bit about how WordPress can be used not only to blog, but also to run an entire website. Part of the reason that WordPress and other open source CMSs have developed into such a powerful tool is the strength and [...]

I came across a great ‘Whiteboard Friday‘ post by Rand over at SEOMOZ today. He’s does a great job of explaining both sides of the debate about whether measuring organic search rankings for individual keywords is important, or at least the most important seo metic. So many SEO agencies and their clients alike focus attention on [...]

Google Chrome Crashes (for me)

This video was sent to me this week by my good friend Al D. It basically spews out a bunch of global and technology stats which are pretty interesting. Definitely one of the most interesting things I’ve seen on YouTube in a while. Thanks Al!

Keeping an eye and responding to things that your customers say about you will not only help improve your image, but will also help you improve your business. Ignoring the issues won't make them go away.

What’s in a (Domain) Name?

Rick Maggio — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:59:12 +0000

I don’t get it. All to often too often, clients dream up big ideas about how to re-invent their business by radically redesigning their website. Whether it’s because they think their website is out of date or because the executives are bored with the current website, they rarely seem to ask themselves whether they will [...]

I'd like to dedicate this post to shdding light on a few search engines other than Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.
