» Does Your Business Need a Content Management System?
November 20th, 2009 Sammy RussoI recently posted an article that discusses what exactly a content management system is. The next topic regarding content management systems that I want to address is whether or not your small business needs a CMS. While I do think that content management systems are a great fit for most businesses, they don’t necessarily fit every small business.

» Don’t Let Google Page Rank Be Your Focus
November 10th, 2009 Sammy RussoGoogle Page Rank is the number or score assigned to each of your websites pages. Google Page Rank is a key metric to monitor but should not be the main focal point of an SEO Campaign. About a month ago Google made a major change to Webmaster Tools by removing all PageRank data.
“We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true,” states Moskwa. “We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it.” (Source: WebProNews)
» What Exactly is a Content Management System?
November 6th, 2009 Sammy RussoToday, one of the big industry buzzwords is content management system. The funny thing is content management systems (CMS) have been around for years but its taken them a while to gain popularity and now it seems they are taking the web by storm.
Content management systems come in all shapes and sizes from large enterprise applications to free open source platforms. And in between those are the different types of content management systems for creating blogs, websites, e-commerce shopping sites, auction sites, directories and the list goes on.
» Fixing Google Redirect Links in RSS Feed
November 2nd, 2009 Sammy RussoMy friend, Internet Strategist @GrowMap, emailed me about how all her CommentLuv links were pointing to a feedburner redirect link. She wanted to know if I could tell her why the links were pointing to a Google redirect URL. I initially thought it had something to do with the CommentLuv plugin but I dug in a little to find her an answer and it actually turns out it has nothing to do with the CommentLu, but everything to do with a setting in Feedburner.
Not having used CommentLuv, I installed the plugin here on Search Friendly Web Design and on another blog. Turns out that the links get hijacked by Google if you have a certain setting enabled in your Feedburner account . To fix it you have to turn off the Feedburner Redirect link by unchecking the ‘Item Link Clicks’ setting of the Feedburner Stats menu. You can find this under the analyze tab.

October 30th, 2009 Sammy RussoI mentioned in my most recent blog post (The Number 1 Rule of Blogging), that I myself hadn’t been following that very rule. I’ve been rather busy…. busy playing and very busy working. But I can get back on track so let me share what we’ve been up to over the last month or so.
» The Number 1 Rule in Blogging
October 29th, 2009 Sammy RussoYes, I’ve been slacking and breaking the number 1 rule of blogging. A colleague of mine saw that I hadn’t posted since July and said “shame on you.” All I can say is it was a fun and very busy summer, and now that Fall is here my plans are to dig in a little and try to get on a regular publishing schedule.
