Press Release + PRWeb = Top Google Rank… True or False?

Posted on May.19, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments

I’ve always been a big time press release aficionado.
And up until recently I’ve steadfastly taken the low tech route by sending them out via snail-mail. Yeah, I’m a little old-fashioned when it comes to certain things. But long-time habits are hard to break when they produce great results.

Posted on Dec.04, 2008, under Web Design No Comments

After 2 years of designing Web Sites, I decided to take a peek
at one of my customer’s log files. My fear disappeared after
about 10 seconds of looking at it. In the midst of some weird
symbols and long lines of funny characters, was able to see
