SEO Tools for Best Performance in SEO Campaigns
Published by December 19th, 2011 in Keywords, Link Building, SEO and Tools. 0 CommentsEver been listening to your iPod (or your chosen brand of MP3 player) and a series of seemingly random tracks come-on that relate directly to what you’re doing or thinking?

Networx Panel – How to win links and influence people
Published by June 22nd, 2009 in Link Building. 1 CommentThis-evening I’ll be speaking on the topic of links at a Brisbane Networking function. So in preparation, I’ve put together some notes on the things I’d like to cover.

Where have we been? Everywhere but here…
Published by June 18th, 2009 in Blogging and Link Building. 2 CommentsThe SiteMost blog has been a bit quiet lately although that doesn’t mean we’ve been quiet – in fact we’ve been doing things all over the internet, just not on the blog here.

As always, I went looking for a particular clip and before I knew it, half my morning was gone. Yet despite clicking on a lot of videos, I only really watched the start, perhaps a minute or two, before being distracted by another [...]

Social Media – The Rube Goldberg Machine of the Web
Published by March 16th, 2009 in Social Media. 1 CommentI’m a big fan of Rube Goldberg and his convoluted machines that would trigger dozens of tiny processes to perform a very simple task.
When chatting with a friend recently, it made me realise that social media works in a very similar way to a Rube Goldberg Machine.

Often when we think about the concept of link building, we usually consider things like – contacting relevant websites and seeing if they’d be interested in give you a link, submitting to directories, purchasing ‘editorial endorsements’, creating articles or other topical pieces of content for linkbait etc. etc.
But there’s a whole world of offline linking [...]
This is just a quick note to advise that SiteMost’s Brisbane SEO Blog is moving to a slightly different location (instead of the URL being http://blog.sitemost.com.au, it will now be http://www.sitemost.com.au/blog ).
We’ve been meaning to do this for sometime, so we figured now was as good a time as ever.
Hopefully the change-over should [...]
