Google Plus Hovercard Infographic – You Had Me At Hovercard
With my Google Plus K1 Challenge still underway I figured now was a good time to shine a bit of light on Google Plus hovercards. I know I'm not the first to do so and both Mark Traphagen and Stephan Hovnanian, plussers with a lot more knowledge than me, have given their take on it but I still figured I'd wade in with my 2 cents. Well, my 2 cents and a shiny Google ...
Google PageRank is Back!
Just a quick update for you now to let you know, in case you haven't already heard, that Google PageRank is back, for now at least. And, it's actually made me happier than it probably should have. The SEO world is all a chatter today as Google pageranks around the globe, which haven't been updated since way earlier this year, and according to Matt Cutts were due ...
Are You Motivated Yet?
I wanted to catch lightning and bottle it. I wanted something that would make the heart beat and the blood pump with gusto and zeal. I wanted leaping cat, a soaring eagle, a ledge with a view, a snaking jungle river and I wanted a double freakin' rainbow for added intensity. I wanted something to motivate me for when all other motivational images fall short ...
Do You Know LadyUmbrella?
Did you ever hear of LadyUmbrella? I sure hope you did - but I'm very biased on the matter! Before I became a WordPress developer or SEO guy I was busy online with a business I set up with Elena Montes called LadyUmbrella. LadyUmbrella launched in 2008 with a range of quirky, colourful and unique t-shirts (sure isn't everything unique I hear you say) that ...
A Cameo Role – PopDeem!
So, this is a bit of a break from your normal reading pleasure here and is about a "cameo role" of mine in a video for a social media promotions company, PopDeem. Before becoming a WordPress freelancer I was the marketing director of Pygmalion and was always on the look out for new marketing opportunities. One new Irish company, PopDeem, approached me with their ...

Best WordPress Mailing List Plugin
"The money is in the list!" - I'm sure you've heard that old chestnut before, and, there is a heck of a lot of truth in it. In this social media world, where tweets and updates have a half life comparable to that of a gnat, getting access to a potential customers inbox can be beneficial for getting your message across. Whilst I'm not sure that the below plugin is the ...
Get Into Your SEO Gym
You ready for a bit of an SEO analogy? Well, even if you're not, here it comes - your website is your gym and bicep curls are you SEO efforts. When we get new clients asking us to build WordPress sites for them and then enquiring about on-going SEO services I then pull out the SEO gym analogy to give clients a good understanding of what SEO involves. The ...
Have We Hit Peak Social Media – October Update
Hard to believe that this is now the 4th month of tracking the stats on peak social media usage. It's not an exact science as accurate social media user data is hard to come by but in time these stats may become useful, or if nothing else, interesting. And, on the topic of interesting but perhaps useless info, this also happens to be my 50th blog post since my first ...
