Excerpt: I was enjoying the A4uexpo in Amsterdam, the people, the events and sessions (and the bar of course) but there was one specific thing I was concerned about and it was the mention of the “Golden Bullet” back links. It was made perfectly clear in the expo from all the SEO guys there that the best and most effective way of driving traffic to a website is via back links. Lets repeat that, get BACK LINKS… still not clicking? JUST GET BACK LINKS. (though of course adding good content is a natural generator of back links as well…

Excerpt: Youtube UK in Deadlock with Performing Rights Society for Music Youtube seem to have hit a deadlock with the Performing Rights Society for Music in the United Kingdom with the result that they are being forced to remove videos for artists covered under the Society. “We value the creativity of musicians and song writers and have worked hard with rights-holders to generate significant online revenue for them and to respect copyright,” said parent company Google in a statement. “But PRS is now asking us to pay many, many times more for our license than before. The costs are simply prohibitive for us – under…

Excerpt: UK Gov. requires Director of Digital Engagement Its Sunday morning and I usually take a time-out to go, browse through the Sunday papers, have a nice cafe cortado, and think about the week to come. This morning though I came across something very interesting in the Mail on Sunday. The UK Government wants a Twitter supremo to manage and integrate the new digital technology into the infrastructure of daily government communication and practice. This is very interesting on a number of levels. I read through the Mail on Sunday article and took the details of the vacancies web address to check it out…

Excerpt: Oblong industries blog has one totally amazing video Its included in this post below) for the demonstration of G Speak or Spatial Operating Environment (SOE). Remember Minority Report? Tom Cruise happily interacted with a semi-transparent computer display to manipulate the information presented by waving his hands around and “twisting” the data via fluxations in the hands position to display the information as he required. Fantasy? No way. Seems Oblong Industries have already worked on making this system a reality. Check out the video to see this amazing technology in action and then think how this type of technology would affect…

Google SearchWiki – personalise your own search results

Excerpt: An all new feature of the Google Search Results for those users logged into their Google Gmail account. This feature allows you to dictate internally within your account how the results for particular key phrases are displayed. In other words you can effectively create your own personalised “top 10″ search results for keywords and phrases you search for regularly. This wont affect rankings (yet) but I can see it having an effect once this gains momentum and popularity with users and may act as some kind of “vote” helping websites rank higher when more users have them personalised at…

I will be following on with this handbook to my clients as its simple, straight forward and to the point with little technical jargon so…

Excerpt: The results are filtering in and a long long night (or day) awaits those who watch the votes being tallied in this most interesting of campaigns. Im watching commentary and feedback about the various states, their habits and how the speculation is currently that they are ALL in flux. As America decides its next president, it is without doubt that the world is also watching with baited breath in the hope that the Obama will be elected as the next President of the USA.

Google Search Shortcuts

Excerpt: Google Chrome has settled into its niche now and is being downloaded all over the place it seems although time will be the only factor before it makes any serious user penetration and becomes a user platform I believe. Forums have been awash with questions regarding the much used Google Toolbar extension and when it will be available on the Google Chrome Browser but its not exactly necessary except for viewing page rank to be honest. Its taking a little time for people to realise that you can actually do a search directly inside the address bar of google chrome as if…

Excerpt: Saying your an internet specialist is like a doctor saying they are a body expert or a lawyer saying they are a law expert… its just not true because its not specific enough for a professional today who works in the internet sector. It never has been actually but the general public are certainly not aware of this it seems. Lets break this down a little. The human body is the market sector.
