Just another shorty since I was just struck by pure shock when hovering over some SERPs results. Even though they were on the first page, I did not want to click them since the instant preview showed nothing but ugly and out of date webdesign. I am number 1 two is not a winner and three nobody remembers. Catchy phrase outta the hiphop business. And somehow right. BUT if number [...]

Yep. Stay Away From SEO! Yes, I really said that! Whom am I talking to you ask? Well…look around…yes, it’s you! I talk about you, who has read 2 articles on copyblogger and search engine land and considers himself a SEO pro! Guess what, you are not! And guess one more time: You will never be!

Yeah yeah yeah. It barely (ha!) ends! During the last days twitter as well as facebook rolled out some improvements (well, that’s how they call it) to their service.

Well somebody said so….I don’t know for sure who started this whole thing and if he only wants to remember the good old childhood days, but without any doubt: it worked. Until today people are still changing their profile pictures [...]

Noooo, no drugs. I really mean what I am saying. This post is about succeeding via failing. Fail = bad, right? No! Well yes, in it’s natural meaning it is something bad to fail. That’s why people on twitter tag bad or stupid actions with the #fail tag or that’s why the failblog is so popular. Even outside our web 2.0 world the word ‘fail`itself is quite common to discribe [...]

When talking to my friends and contacts online, I often come across profiles that do not match the real person at all. It is not, that the profile is fake. Not at all! But people tend to pimp their profiles in order to look cool, fresh, fit. Or at least they leave their young gun profile pic in it while acting quite adult – in ‘real`life. When asking them about [...]
