Best Website For Content Writing. 11th June 2013 11:28 AM “Suggest me any website where i can learn content writing and Marketing.” Angela, I had to fight the urge to use "let me Google that for you" I think anyone can write about content that interests them or is related to their business. Learning it as something to do for clients as a paid service is a different kettle of fish. Unfortunately there is already far too much poorly written content out there, and most of it seems to originate from non English speaking countries via sites such as ffiver.com and cheapo SEO companies who pay pennies to outsourced resource Labour would cap social security spending 11th June 2013 11:19 AM Trouble is, I can't take him seriously... keeps reminding me of the Creature Comforts Turtle. ![]() Google PR Update 11th June 2013 10:50 AM “Did you hear about the update? Do you think it is already running? I noticed slight differences in our rankings, but nothing serious? I am wondering if we will improve our PR this time How about you?” Did you mean a PR update or a Google (Penguin/Panda) update? Penguin 2.0 ran at the end of May which has had some impact. PR wise, haven't noticed any toolbar update changes, unless we've remained static. Don't really worry about PR to be honest, visitors are the key for us! Do you use Quora? 11th June 2013 10:39 AM Interesting, this has been on my "to do" list for some time. I joined up, but haven't done anything. I'm assuming the principle is similar to forums, ie you become known for a certain area. You do see a lot of well known SEO and marketing peeps on there from time to time answering questions, so its a platform to take seriously. Anyone else actually using it or have any good/bad experience? What kind of backlinks work after panda and penguin? 11th June 2013 10:22 AM “Is it just me or does there seem to be quite a few automated/spam replies to this thread?” The mods do try and remove most C&P stuff and obvious spam, but SEO threads do have a habit of self destructing by passing SEO's, normally from non UK or USA residents “I know what you're saying, do it properly or not at all - that's far from reality though, seo is seen as closest thing to snake oil salesmen! (unfortunately for the legitimate/long term ones)..” While there is financial reward to be had, then there will always be plenty of people happy to game the system and make a quick return, with little interest to long term impact, and plenty of shady SEOers happy to oblige. I feel sorry for those caught in the crossfire, unsuspecting website owners who are creating rich content and/or authoritative sites, but fall prey to bad SEO either from poor advice, poor research, naive, over reliance on inexperienced web developers/marketeers. Black Hat and White Hat SEO - Is it about ethics? Or just the highest link value? 11th June 2013 10:08 AM “As an SEO without labels- I hate this whole "White Hat v Black Hat" debate.” It was interesting to see the SEOMoz rebrand. Although their argument was they cover all online marketing disciplines, not just SEO, I do wonder if we are seeing a shift away from traditional SEO terminology as customers become confused or disillusioned with the SEO industry as a whole. Online marketing seems much more obvious and business like than SEO terms, which rightly or wrongly seem to paint a negative picture. Be interesting to fast forward 5 years and see how many people still call themselves SEO consultants! Maybe the industry can repair it's image and the good guys (of which there are plenty) can regain the high ground? Just noticed Sami predicted the new name of SEOMoz back in March Free keyword tool 11th June 2013 9:46 AM Could Bing replace Google on Apple devices? 11th June 2013 9:38 AM Saw this on Search Engine Land: Apple Makes Bing The "Default Search Engine" For Siri There's been an interesting turn of events, during the Autumn of 2013, Bing will become the default search engine for Apples Siri. “Starting this fall with iOS 7, Bing will power Siri's new integrated web search. When users ask Siri a question either the specific answer or web search links will now be delivered automatically so users can find information even faster. Bing was designed from the outset to be a great place for web search helping customers quickly find what they are looking for and get more out of search. We are thrilled that all the great results people have come to know and love on Bing.comwill now be available to Siri users on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Exciting New Chapter in Bing” As searchengine land have speculated, could this mean Bing will take over as the search for Safari on all Apple devices? If so, we could have at last a genuine competitor to Google...
