Arctic Diamonds: Predicting Search Traffic

One of the true arts in search marketing is predicting possible high volume search terms. Just as with any sort of marketing, if you can guess which way your audience is going to go, and get in at the ground floor, you can do very well.
Case in point: Sitting in my lounge yesterday afternoon, beer […]

Nicest Bloke In SEO

Yesterday was the service of thanksgiving for my step-father Michael, followed by a wake in my local pub. It was a really lovely day, made all the more so by the lovely people who were a part of it. From Mike, the landlord of the Wheatsheaf, to the vicar, to all of Michael’s friends, it […]

How SEO Got Me (Carpet) Laid

After reading evil’s post I wondered what other utterly ridiculous stories people might come up with as linkbait. Now the offending article which evil mentions is obviously aimed at celibate diggers, but hey - most of us here at SEO Blokes are in or near our 30s, 2 of us are married, 1 of us […]

We have SEO Rockstars, but are SEOs the new Rockstars?

 
A question came to me whilst at SMX Advanced in Seattle, has the “personality culture” within the industry created a situation where the more well known personalities can now command the same sort of perks as a mainstream personality? Now I can’t see Matt Cutts demanding from Danny a rider of cocaine, hookers and […]

How NOT To Do Linkbait…

I’ve just got back from a business trip to India and have been catching up on my personal emails. One email was from a guy called Chris Walker, who I do not think I’ve spoken to before. He mentioned that he read my evilgreenmonkey blog and linked to an article (nofollow’d) that he found about […]

I Wonder Why, He’s The Greatest Dancer

Ok, in the spirit of fair play (and because I seem to be a latent masochist) here is the footage of me participating in an impromptu dance-off, which took place at a friend’s recent wedding. The best man and groom decided to see which of the ushers had the best moves (the buggers!)

Amazingly, I was […]

SEO Chick Who’s Welcome With The Blokes

Wow - some real news in the SEO world - Vanessa Fox is leaving Google. Before anyone thinks that this is about to turn into a serious minded SEO blog, I’ll just say that Vanessa is one SEO chick who will always be welcome at SEO Blokes nights down the pub.
All the best Vanessa.

Putting The SEO In SEasOn (or something..)

It’s been a bit quiet here at SEO Blokes Towers recently, quite possibly due to networking induced exhaustion from SMX in Seattle. Or possibly because when the sports pages barely have any mention of football (or soccer for our American friends), it’s often hard to make it through the day. But no more as today […]
