Google local business center has been around for some time now and unlike many other products of Google that doesn’t make much sense to a normal user, local listings are extremely useful for people looking for a particular business in their neighborhood.

Google Local Business Center enables you to search for the local restaurants, car rent services, flower delivery businesses and just about any other business, by just adding the city name to your search query and Google will fetch a number of businesses for your convenience along with some reviews and their...

SEO Services – To hire or not to hire?

You must be asking this question to yourself, if you know nothing about search engine optimization and own an online business. An easy way to figure out is to get yourself a flower and start pulling off its petals, one by one, while repeating “it’ll benefit me, it’ll benefit me not … it’ll benefit me, it’ll benefit me not”.

The Wonder that is Google Wave & its implications on SEO

I must confess, I skipped the idea of even trying to write anything on Google wave when I first got to use it. What was my first reaction? To be honest, I was a little disappointed, and then suddenly excited, to some extent lost, and then bamboozled; next I got a little fed up and then unexpectedly keyed up. Sounds crazy, already? Well … welcome to the roller coaster that is Google Wave.

Even though, my understanding and astuteness in this field also originates from the same (self-learning) process, my advice to newbies would be a little different. And that’s … if you have got the resources to avail yourself of some...

A quick short post with a big important tip-off

When the social networking websites initially came out, they were certainly not as promising, nobody thought they’d took over the internet by this ferocity … but My God, hasn’t the growth been Phenomenal? For instance, a report by Compete informed that the twitter has gone through a whopping 750% growth in the past year. Yes … Seven Hundred and Fifty Goddamn Percent growth in 365 days. Now, that’s what we call enormous growth. And when something is...
