Simplify the Web

5 years ago if you asked someone what a blog was, they would have looked at you and said what are you talking about?! Today, blogs have become a very simple and popular way for people to put information the internet with minimal effort. A great way to publish information about themselves, their thoughts or anything else. Some of the more popular blog sites out there, like Blogger and Blogspot, are useful if you are trying to setup a simple and free blog to start blogging about your thoughts ...

Easy Blog Integration. Three simple words. When you search for them on Google, there will be somewhere close to 2,000,000 websites listed. When you search for them on Yahoo, there will be somewhere close to 51,000,000. DotComOnomics isn't one of them, from what I can tell. I stopped looking after 1,000 search results. After all: I wanted to know how easily we'd be found when someone searched for "easy blog integration". If you're not in the top thousand results, chances are good that nobody will...

10 days. That's all it took to move DotComOnomics from >1,000 to #1. What am I talking about? I'm talking about a Search Engine Optimization experiment that started on May 14, 2008...eleven days ago. At the time, DotComOnomics wasn't in the top 1,000 results on either Google or Yahoo for the phrase "easy blog integration". There were 2 million results on Google and 51 million on Yahoo, and we were nowhere to be found. Our flagship product, PageProLive, allows us to integrate a blog into vir...

It's been just over a month. I forgot to check the listings four days ago, and just remembered. What am I talking about? It's an experiment in Search Engine Optimization that we dubbed Easy Blog Integration. Yes, I know it's not that creative. You can read the original article, and you can read the first follow-up. Essentially, Thomas and I decided to test our theory that we're just as good as - or better than - Search Engine Optimization professionals. Not at doing busy work or creating report...

It's about time for another follow-up on the original Search Engine Optimization experiment. The phrase? Easy Blog Integration. The task? To raise our rank for that search phrase from below 1000 to the first page of search results. The reason? To make sure we actually know what we're doing. We don't have any clients who pay us for Search Engine Optimization. We keep telling them that they don't need SEO. Why? Because: if your website has good code and good content, people will be able to f...

We have done posts before on this topic. Easy Blog Integration 1, Easy Blog Integration 2, Easy Blog Integration 3, and Easy Blog Integration 4. It's been almost six months now since the last update, (July 3rd, 2008), let's see how we are doing now. As of the end of this year, 2008, we are currently in first place on google for the search phrase: Easy Blog Integration. We have had a pretty successful year overall and this experiment seems to have gone very well for us. Again, as we continually ...

Dilemma: Since we started DotComOnomics back a couple of years ago, Tony and I have been working hard to provide solutions that we wouldn't be ashamed of recommending or even using through out our endeavours online. We have always had an idea to be able to easily implement a system that would enable and not hinder the web design process. The holy grail here was to make a system that would be easily included and called at any time throughout the code and insert the output with minimal impact on...
