Can you match my business card?

One of our clients – HLAW - came to us looking to update their website. They had two requests Make it simple to update Make it match their existing business cards. OK, done.  We opted for a WordPress platform that they can manage through a hosted dashboard – no html skill needed.  And we selected a nice clean template consistent with their business cards. This allowed the client to take control of their site.  Many customers are at the mercy of their web developer.  Updates are sent to a black hole and gotten to whenever.  In this day and age, we are able to utilize complete CMS – Content Management Systems – such as WordPress to give...

January Update

Image via CrunchBase Back in September, we promised to update you as to what we were doing to the site and its impact on our ranking.

The Zen of Blogging

Image by hongxing128 via Flickr One of our SEO strategies is too migrate all of our blogs over to the WordPress Platform to enable SEO features and tagging. I was working on one of our sites which had about 350+ entries, when in the process – the screen went blank. So, I fiddled with this, mess with that and still blank. You know that queasy feeling in the bottom of your stomach? 3 years of entries down the drain? Ugh! I went online and begged one of my Facebook buddies for help. He didn’t have an immediate solution, but he offered some sane advice – take a break. Walk away, come back fresh. A cool and calm approach – I’ve just lost 3 years of profound...

The Update . . .

Image via Wikipedia About a month ago, I mentioned that I had been neglecting this site and it was time to for an update. At the time (9/22), Dohertyassoc.com has a traffic rank of: 3,740,178. Currently, it is 1,969,422, so we’ve moved passed not quite 2.0 million sites traffic wise. Not bad, but still a long way from #1, eh? I’ve updated the look and feel of the site, and begun blogging more regularly. All good things when it comes to driving traffic. We went through our Google Analytics tool (Make Google Happy) to clean up redundant meta tags and errors. We are still in clean up mode. So, the next two items on the list are to update the blog software (we are...
