What To Do When Your WordPress Site Has Been Hacked?
WordPress is both free and amazingly customisable, so it’s no surprise that it’s the most widely used CMS in the world. Anyone can get started on a site of their own with no frustrating barrier to entry or knowledge required to give it a try. These advantages have their downsides, though — because it’s so popular and flexible, WordPress is a prime target for hackers. If you run a WordPress site but you’re not very technically-mind...
How Many Backlinks Do You Actually Need?
Once upon a time, backlinks truly were the lifeblood of SEO. The more you had, the higher you would rank. And building thousands of backlinks a day was not exactly a walk in the park, but it could definitely be done. It could even be outsourced, and all you had to do, in theory, was to watch as you climbed up the SERP ladder. Then Google unleashed its Penguin, Panda, Hummingbird and Pigeon, and the algorithm was never the same again. After ...

Recent WordPress Site Projects
If you're thinking to yourself that it's been quiet on the western front - with the western front being this ole blog right here - then you'd be 100% correct. It has been so quiet here that you can probably hear me weeping my tears of shame. On a nearly daily basis I espouse the values and benefits of ongoing blogging to clients yet here I am, playing the hypocritical harmonica to a tune that we're all too familiar with. So, do as I say - not as ...
Google Warnings For WordPress Updates!
In what can only be described as an indicator of the continuing growth and importance of the WordPress platform we have now started to see that Google are sending warnings to WordPress users to update their sites if they are out of date. These warnings are sent to the e-mail address that was used to add the site to GSC (Google Search Console) and we received the first notice like this just last week: Google has detected that your site is ...

Content Is The Conduit For Connections

For this to happen you need to build relationships or allegiances with others online and ultimately content is the conduit for the connections that you'll ...
The No-Blogging Experiment Is Over!
251 days, or 8 months and 7 days. That's the amount of time between this post and the last blog post. You don't need to be an online marketing expert to know that that is way too long a period to have between posts but I wanted to run an experiment of sorts to see what would happen if I let the blogging slide? Would the site become a no go zone? Would the business take a dip? Am I right to continually beat the drum to clients about the ...
