I want to follow up on my last week (Maybe more) post “Google loves fast hosts“. In that post I talked about how switching to a HostGator reseller account helped me increase the number of pages crawled everyday by Google, but also cut by more than half the average load time of a page. Some [...]

Life without Google feels good– also posted in Traffic building, blogging tips

I feel good right now. For seo horror, which I launched this month, I had a simple goal for the first few months: “Not give a damn about Google”. I know you’ll say it’s pretty dumb for a blog called SEO Horror, not to care about SEO, but In fact I think it’s a pretty [...]
