Should I Make a Flash Site? Flash Website Flowchart.
One of the most common questions that I get asked by web designers and web site owners is whether or not they should create all flash websites. The process of making the decision about flash web sites for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes is actually quite difficult, so I took the time to create a flow chart on whether or not you should create an all flash web site. As you can see, it gets pretty complicated, but hopefully you can apply this flash website flowchart the next time you are trying to decide whether or not you should create a flash web...
Renter or Owner…
People have often asked me what is the functional difference is between PPC and SEO. I think the Rent or Own analogy works well. People who rely on PPC for traffic are renters. There is nothing wrong with this and it certainly has its perks. You can start and stop renting at any time – no waiting for a house to be built. On the otherhand, you are always paying someone else’s mortgage. SEO on the otherhand, is more like ownership. Sure, your house could be blown away by a storm or destroyed by fire.

Raleigh On Rails Conference.

While I, admittedly, know very little about it, from what I have read and from people I trust, this is the future of rapid online development. Anyway, if you are like me and need to get a jump start, I would check out the local RaleighOnRails conference… http://www.raleighonrails.com/ put together by NotSleepy (a fantastic SEO / Online Marketer located in Raleigh).

Google IP Indexing…
I have noticed this lately but don’t really know whats up – any ideas from the community… The example below is Dictionary.com being indexed by its IP. While it does not appear to be affecting the rankings, it is certainly interesting that this has occured. What would cause Google to show your IP rather than your domain name? Do we need to start writing redirects from IPs to domains as well? So, to all 7 people who actually read this blog with any regularity, what do you think about it? Any SEO implications, or does it not really matter for search engine optimization.
