I’ve been watching Google’s About This Result SERP feature since the first week of November, 2020. It was at that time that Google began telling searchers how long it had indexed sites, or quoting information from Wikipedia about the sites. Google has been playing with the 3-dots menu link since 2019 but they officially “launched”…

This question is the anathema of successful internet marketers. It is something commonly asked by novices, and the answer you are looking for is not so black and white. In fact, it’s much more complex, akin to how much does a house or car cost versus how much a plastic table costs. A home’s price…

The post How to Answer the Dreaded Question: How Much Does SEO Cost? first appeared on SEO Theory.

Vectors have become the new SEO magic. I see people writing about and speaking about vectors everywhere and few of them really have any idea of what they are talking about. Vectors are not “math”. They are used in math but they are used in many other disciplines, too. We use math to precisely describe…

WordPress gets a bad rap from people who complain that it’s not secure.  In more than 40 years of working with computers I have never met an application or operating system that could not be hacked.  I used to be an…

Sometimes I just wonder what other people think of Google and what it does to their lives. I don’t mean “marketers” and SEO folks like me. I mean…other people, the legions of non-technical users (many of whom are quite technical in their own fields). What do they think of Google? Social media gives us a window into the soul of online userdom. At the risk of starting an invasive trend, I thought I would grab some Tweets at random and just share them here. I’m not going to try to answer the questions. I doubt I have many of the answers anyway. WARNING Some of these Tweets may not be safe for work. Why does Google always diagnose me with cancer — ????

Economists and some government reports are saying that the American economy is improving. Therefore, hence, and in conclusion we can expect to see that more jobs will be appearing. Alas! Unfortundately, and sadly those won’t be the same lucrative jobs of yesteryear. What happened? A couple of things happened on the way to the next job market. One of them was automation. As we look for newer and better efficiencies in productivity and administration we continue to reduce demand for actual human workers in various non-scalable capacities. That’s the ironic thing about a technology-driven economy: all the investors insist that any human-performed task is not scalable and therefore not worth investing in. Never mind the fact that there are now 7 billion people on the planet and that number is expected to grow by leaps and bounds over the next 15-100 years. The one thing of which we are NOT in short supply is people. It’s just that people don’t scale despite the fact that they breed faster than rabbits. Assuming it takes you 10 minutes to read this article, in the time you read these words 2500 future workers will be born around the globe. That’s just an estimate […]
