Article You’re Probably Not the Authority on You by Christopher Butler on January 6, 2011 Consider this: As far as Google is concerned, you are probably not the authority on you That is, unless you have a truly unique name or you are extremely prolific and your name is just all over the web.

I thought it would make sense to start this year off by specifically naming them and thanking them... Read Now About

Fortunately, we know enough about how search engines work to optimize our content with words, not wands, and in this month's newsletter, you'll learn everything you need to know to do just that...

Article Is it Time to Rebuild Your Website? by Christopher Butler on November 30, 2010 Websites don't last forever. Without consistent upkeep, sometimes they barely even make it three years!
