If you’ve been following my antics for the past 18 years you may remember a post back in 2012 titled HOW TO BUILD OVER 12000 FOLLOWERS FOR FREE AND WHY YOU SHOULDN’T DO THIS. Needless to say during this insane period i actually got to 70k followers which pretty much made Twitter useless. Pro tip for large account owners – make use of Twitter Lists or mass muting using tools like...
Using Analytics/Google Search Console to Bring Back Keywords & Landing Page Data
U
Back in the day life was good. Old school Google allowed us to know which keywords were responsible for driving traffic to our website and even let us know to which pages ranked. This made creating and optimising content really easy. With the advent of Google’s move to HTTPS, obfuscated URLs, LSI, Hummingbird and synonym matching the ability to effectively identify the exact keywords responsible...

Finding a Digital Marketing Job at 40
F
OK I have to confess that i’m actually 39 and not 40 but as its only months away and it made for a more dramatic title I went for the big four-oh. A month ago I found myself made redundant. It came as a bit of a shock but was not unexpected for a number of reasons I won’t go into. This meant that once again I was back on the market and in need of work. This was made more urgent in...
Mozilla Murders Flash on Firefox

Last night Mozilla stopped support for Adobe’s Flash plugin in its browser. The plugin has long been responsible for many security issues and has provided loopholes favoured by hackers who use the technology to access your computers.

If you’ve been reading my blog then you know that I recently moved into a new build house. Despite having broadband on order and due for an installation only days after moving in due to infrastructure issues on the site i still don’t have any internet connection three months later.
