Meta Keyword tags: Google say no, Yahoo say yes!

by admin on January 27, 2010 in Blog, Google, SEO with 2 Comments

I was doing some research on  meta keyword tags, that I though I would share.

Google ignores keywords placed in the meta tag  – see Matt Cutt’s Google video with an explanation “Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking”

However its seems as though Yahoo take meta tag keywords into consideration, see link  How to Improve the Position of Your Website in Yahoo! Search Results

<quote>Use a “keyword” metatag to list keywords for each page of your website. Use distinct lists of keywords that relate to each specific page on the site. Do not use one broad set of keywords for the entire site.</quote> (Last Updated: December 15, 2009).

Bottom line – its not going to hurt your website if you include <meta name=”keywords” content=” ” />

Issues updating WordPress from Version 2.9.0 to 2.9.1

by admin on January 15, 2010 in Blog, WordPress with No comments

I was having issues updating WordPress from Version 2.9.0 to 2.9.1 via the core update functionality installed within WordPress’ admin.

I had a plug-in installed called Web Invoicing and Billing after I deactivated this plug-in, I was able to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress Successfully.

If you are having issues upgrading, try deactivate some plug-ins – 1 at a time, before you resort to a manual install.

Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking

by admin on January 12, 2010 in Google, SEO with 1 Comment

Here is a video from Matt Cutt’s discussing Meta Tags.

In brief, keyword meta tags are not used by Google for Search Ranking — <meta name=”Keywords” content=”not used by google” />

However Google still use the description meta tag –  <meta name=”description” content=”keep using meta descriptions ” />

Ann Arbor Office Space – Main Street, Ann Arbor

by admin on December 30, 2009 in Uncategorized with No comments

(I used to be tenant at the Brickyard, its a great place to work they now have more space available)

Brickyard 2.0 – Office Space

Wanted: Programmers, Developers, Internet Consultants, Marketers, Solopreneurs or a small company looking to rent a desk or two at 306 South Main – Brickyard 2.0.

The Deal: We have been at The Brickyard for two years now. We just signed on for another year and we have 3 open desks to rent. You get a nice desk for your personal use, your own locker, use of conference room, access to shared coffee, and internet all for $280 per month (1 year lease).

I can tell you from experience having an office on Main Street will do wonders for your productivity and ability to win new business. Not to mention you will be joined by other small business owners who enjoy working in the same space, and often collaborate on projects.

It’s important that you work more on your computer than the phone. If you travel to your client’s offices for meetings that works too. We have a conference room you can use, but the desk you will be renting is in an open space and is not conducive to frequent phone calls. We keep it like this to respect everyone’s need for a quiet workplace to get things done.

If you’re interested in the space please contact Derek Mehraban 734.272.4698
