Searching Privately in a Post-Scroogle World

Searching Privately in a Post-Scroogle World: Barry Schwartz covered the full story of Scroogle's closing for Search Engine Land. Here's the short version: about a week ago, Google began blocking the site. The privacy search engine, online since 2003, worked by scraping Google's results without passing along any identifiable information or keeping any itself - thus giving users a measure of privacy they lacked when searching directly at Google itself. Getting blocked in this way might not have killed Scroogle so quickly, but the site also fell victim to a stream of distributed denial of service attacks that started back in December. W...

Is Google Tracking Your iPhone?

Is Google Tracking Your iPhone?: Todd Wasserman covered the story for Mashable. It was also covered by none other than the Wall Street Journal. According to the Journal, advertising companies have been using special computer code that tricks Apple's Safari Web-browsing software into letting them monitor many users. Safari, the most widely used browser on mobile devices, is designed to block such tracking by default. Stanford researcher Jonathan Mayer broke the story on his blog earlier this month. He stated that Google and Vibrant Media intentionally circumvent Safari's privacy feature. Media Innovation Group and PointRoll...

Local SEO: Secrets to Killing The Competition

Local SEO: Secrets to Killing The Competition: In this article I'll explain how to absolutely dominate local search by using an example site to show what's being done right, what's being done wrong, and what he should be doing to become the number 1 player in his market. I recently came across a small local business in South Jersey run by a John Pepe He's a tile installer, and if you do a search on south jersey tile installation, he's the second listing. To have his spot, he does far less link building, PPC, advertising, and everything else than the number one guy, or even the other three people below him. However, there are certain thin...

Dominating Local SEO

Dominating Local SEO: So what steps should Pepe take to dominate local SEO? 1) The main site, Pepe Tile and Installation, has to be cleaned up with a much better look and feel. This could easily be done with nearly zero technical know-how by simply using WordPress and a clean-looking two-column theme. As I mentioned yesterday, a better logo for his company could probably be done for as little as $50, and that should also be considered a must. 2) Once WordPress is being used, put links to the social networks that he's using way up top in the sidebar. Use simple 32x32 icons for each of them, and make sure they are ...

Is Google Plus an Empty Hangout?

Is Google Plus an Empty Hangout?: For myself, I have to admit that I rarely check out my Google+ account anymore. Even Debbie Ohi, a very talented friend of mine who took to the new social site like a duck takes to water, wrote in a public post that as much as I prefer Google+'s interface to that of Facebook's, I'm spending way more time on Facebook these days. One reason for this is that the people she most needs to keep in touch with professionally are on Facebook rather than Google+, and she only has so much time for social media. She and I are hardly alone. For whatever reason, lots of Google+ users hardly seem to rememb...

The Problem With Your Website

The Problem With Your Website: I'd wager the same thing could be said of your site. Almost never do I see a fantastically designed site that has proper traffic and lead conversion steps in place that also doesn't have enough traffic. Not only that, but spending time, money, and effort on driving traffic to a site that can't convert that traffic into leads and sales is a waste. Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about here. Let's say that, with your various advertising and traffic generation methods, you're spending two thousand dollars a month, and for that you're getting 20,000 visits to your site. I understand...
