    Sourcing Blog Images From Flickr? Here’s What You Need To Know.

    Since Marissa Mayer took over at Yahoo!, many of its properties have been revamped. Flickr is no exception. Flickr now has a much nicer interface.

    Browsing millions of hosted images is now a pleasure. You can look for inspiration. Or find a picture to add visual sparkle to a blog post. The limitations on photographers for storing images have changed. This has brought back many who left for competitors. Because of this, more images are being added now. This is more than in the last few years.

    Studies prove that images help user engagement. This has SEO benefits. It also greatly aids social media exposure. Flickr is a treasure trove. However, bloggers need to be aware of a few pitfalls. Business bloggers, in particular, should know these before snagging images. They might want to use them to liven up their posts.

    Have you heard about Google’s 15th birthday present to itself? Last week, the world’s undisputed search giant rolled out an all-new search algorithm, dubbed Hummingbird because “it’s fast and light.” The name is a dramatic departure from the P-theme of their prior Panda and Penguin updates, but the company’s search chief Amit Singhal reports that Google Hummingbird is the biggest rewrite since 2001.

    Customer Support With Social Media: How Not To Do it

    The above quote is a paraphrasing of a line sometimes attributed to Groucho Marx, and sometimes to others. It’s an important lesson for businesses to keep in mind when they are interacting with their customers online.

    Many would say that it’s authenticity itself that matters, but anyone who has used the Internet for longer than five minutes knows that one does not have to be truly authentic to have a positive effect. Although, if a business can manage to be authentic, sincere, and genuine in its communications with its customers, so much the better.

    Hudson, FL, October 22, 2013 – ASEOHosting, a provider of premium multiple IP hosting, has commented on the risks of relying on publicly available PageRank measurements as a metric for determining the efficacy of search engine optimization campaigns.

  • Google Overhauls Its Algorithms: Hummingbird Explained

    Google Overhauls Its Algorithms: Hummingbird Explained

    Two of the biggest SEO news stories of recent years concerned the Penguin and Panda updates to Google’s algorithms, which were aimed at improving search engine results by combating spammy black hat techniques and returning higher quality results at the top of the SERPs.

    While these changes had a huge impact on SEO, they were just tweaks and modifications of Google’s existing algorithms. It appears that Hummingbird, which was silently implemented a few weeks ago, is a much more technically significant, perhaps the most thoroughgoing update since Caffeine in 2010 or even since the algorithms were significantly rewritten by Amit Singhal in 2001.

    Hummingbird is estimated to affect 90% of search engine results and is likened by Search Engine Land’s Danny Sullivan to a complete replacement of the engine of search.

    What Google’s Latest Panda Update Means for Your SEO

    When Google’s so-called Panda update dropped in 2011, it turned the world of search on its head: quality, not keywords, would dominate from here on out and content would be king. Now Google has updated its algorithms again—call it Panda 2.0—and every marketer and small business needs to adapt once more. (more…)

    ASEOHosting Introduces SEO Hosting With Multiple Class A IP Addresses

    Hudson, FL, September 3rd, 2013 – ASEOHosting, a leading provider of multiple IP hosting, has announced the creation of new SEO hosting packages that allow clients to take advantage of multiple Class A IP addresses per hosting account. The new packages are in addition to ASEOHosting’s existing multiple Class C hosting packages.

    ASEOHosting leads the SEO hosting industry. Furthermore, they provide multiple Class A addresses. As a result, their clients gain a significant SEO advantage. This sets them apart from clients of competing hosting companies.

    In contrast, most web hosts have a strict requirement. Clients needing several different Class A IPs must create a new hosting account for each one. Moreover, even then, getting different Class A IPs is not guaranteed. However, ASEOHosting’s new packages offer a different approach. Specifically, each hosting account can now use up to 20 different Class A IP addresses.

    Confused About Rel=Nofollow? Here’s What You Need To Know

    Matt Cutts recently made another of the videos in which he answers questions from the webmaster and SEO communities. This video specifically addressed whether to use “rel=nofollow” with widgets and infographic links.
