The video review below is the best I’ve seen and from the comments I read, most people agree. I have to admit Windows 7 looks good but I haven’t actually used it yet. In fact I may never use it.

I think one of the best ways that I’ve heard SEO consultants described is as advocates for your website who make your case for a page #1 ranking to the search engines. 

It should come as no surprise that our agency enjoys AMC’s Mad Men - in fact, Mad Men probably deserves its own listing on Things Marketing People Love. 

Ok, I’m sure your wondering, what do chicken wings and Groundswell have in common?  The truth is absolutely nothing.  I just so happened to be eating chicken wings today while reading Groundswell.  (A challenge in itself)  Big props to co-authors Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff.  Anyway the book looks into a very interesting phenomenon that takes place online. The Groundswell. 

Our business consultants are at the Chicago City Treasurer’s Small Business Expo today, spreading the word about the power of being on page #1.  Check them out after the jump:

Picasso said it best when he said sardonically “Good artists copy.  Great artists steal.”  A similar concept holds true for online marketing and SEO.  Everyone checks out their competition in order to see what strategies they are using, and some might even copy their rival’s approach exactly, thinking that if it worked for their competition it must work for them - and chances are this will get decent results.

Spring is here even though there are not many signs of it yet, (at least in Chicago where our SEO firm is located).  If you live in the northern part of the country, doesn’t every year make you feel like the winter is never ending and spring is never going to be here?  Then one day you wake up and look out the window and something is different; the grass is green, leaves are on the trees, the birds are singing, and the sun is shining. You think to yourself “huh, that wasn’t so bad I got through another winter.”

Yesterday was Opening Day for our SEO company’s beloved Chicago Cubs, so naturally Cubs-related lore was fresh on our minds.  If you are a Cubs fan too, you are likely painfully aware of the curse of the Billy Goat.

Our company’s SEO consultants are a clever bunch - so clever, in fact, that we have an announcement.  We have recently discovered the secrets to Google’s algorithm that will cause your site to be ranked on page one for extremely competitive keywords, such as “jobs”, “vacations” and “real estate”.
