Even time travel needs duplicates May 25, 2010 No Comments
When discussing time travel there is a famous paradox that always gets mentioned, ‘The Grandfather Father Paradox’.
Assuming that time travel is possible; this paradox asks whether it is possible to go back in time and kill your grandfather?
People say no because if you were to go back in time and kill your grandfather then by killing him he wouldn’t be alive to have your dad and your dad wouldn’t have existed in order to have you. Hence it would be impossible for you to go back and kill your grandfather, on account of you not existing.
It’s a paradox that keeps going round and round and seems to be unsolvable but SEO is to the rescue.
How is content like the hottest new band on the block? May 23, 2010 No Comments
You’ve seen it all by now. They come out once a year or so…. the coolest new band that you “just have to hear” so, obligingly you go and buy their CD, I mean download their album (!) and stick it on your iPod.
The love-in’s great for the first few weeks. You think that it’s one love affair that can’t come to an end and you declare them as the best band in the world but sneakily, and without warning, this can all change. Over time their songs slowly drop off your “most listened to” tunes and they start to become a distant memory.
OK, so you still love that old guitar riff and that high-pitched squeal in the bridge but the sad truth of the matter is that they’re old…. OK, maybe not as old as James but still, for someone of our generation, old! They might bring a new album out and, out of curiosity, you download one or two songs but alas, it’s all the same! Those once loved ditties start to become an annoyance and you start to realise that the lead singer’s once cool hair is now balding and grey! *sigh* Read the rest of this entry »
Let redsauce.com be your content superheroes May 22, 2010 No Comments
There’s a man about our office we like to call Milton. It’s not his name, but we’re under a silent agreement that it’s acceptable to call him Milton.
Milton (the artist formerly known as Adam) is a mysterious dichotomy of a man. Little is known about this legendary figure, although folklore abounds, so any new information that might happen to leak out comes crashing through the redsauce office like a cannonball.
It’s hard to express how I felt when I saw Milton’s sleeve sidle its way up to reveal a spreading tattoo the size of Cuba. I recalled the exhilarating frisson of astonishment and intrigue I felt when they opened the hatch in Lost or the creepy little man-child discovered Bruce Willis was a ghost.
What can you write when you can’t think of anything to write? May 19, 2010 No Comments
If you’re a regular blogger/publisher, you’ll be familiar with all the channels for finding great quality inspiration to write your content. However there will come a time when the news is devoid of decent content and your brain dries up. Here are few things to get your creative juices flowing:
Why I heart blogging! May 16, 2010 No Comments
OK, by now you should’ve got the message that here at redsauce.com we love, love, lurrrvvveee blogging! Yes, that’s right – we just can’t get enough of WordPress, tags and all-in-one SEO packs – in fact, they’ve even started to creep into my dreams…. worrying but true!
Anyhooo…. just what is it about blogs that gets us hot under the collar and makes us perspire ever so slightly?!
Firstly blogs are great for expanding your knowledge in a none geeky way! OK, so maybe it’s still geeky but nevermind…! Since starting work here around 7 months ago I’ve become an expert on petrol forecourts, business networking, chemical cleaning products, virtual desktops, office space and car leasing! Phew!

MP3 tags, SEO and Google as an iPod May 11, 2010 No Comments
Isn’t it annoying when you are flicking through your iPod, trying to find the right track, and then discover a song is in the wrong place, or in the wrong album?
It happens all the time. A common example is when several different artists bring out an album called ‘Greatest Hits’, and if you’ve got 10 artists who have done so then when you put them on your iPod they all get grouped together into one album.
It’s very annoying, and it’s all caused because of duplicate content.
Perez Hilton’s top five tips to make your blog famous May 1, 2010 1 Comment
Sorry to disappoint any of you snivelling proles, but the team at redsauce.com towers are actually surprisingly well-heeled. We have gold-plated credit cards, middle names that date back to ancient landholders and frequently pull out the family silver to dine on roasted swan.
Indeed my liege, we are a posh lot. So posh, that we are bosom buddies with none other than the pink princess hotel heiress Paris Hilton! Paris just loves to pull up in her platinum Bentley, kick off her Christian Louboutins and share a cheesy oatcake with James. She’s swapped shopping for an SEO fix and she thinks content is “like, totally hot….”.
The death of the newspaper April 28, 2010 No Comments
Newspapers have been the only way to consume the latest news, gossip and other worldly goings-on for the last century, but it seems that has now come to an end. But just why has this sturdy medium gone out of fashion?
Newspapers, by their very nature, can only report static events with very little or indeed no interaction from the the reader. Once an event has passed it won’t be reported on again. In comparison, online content is a very different story. Here a handy search engine will find you all the news and information you could possibly want on a subject going back as far as when reporters/writers started writing for the web.
Uniqueness and name-changing celebs April 27, 2010 No Comments
“Who ever heard of a glam rock star named Vincent Furnier?” is a line from the Aviva TV advert.
Well the answer is no one, although it’s probably a better glam rock name than Alice Cooper which sounds like a character from The Last of the Summer Wine.
Hundreds of celebrities have changed their name, either because their real name is already in use or just because they wanted to sound cooler.
As a result a name change can create uniqueness by setting a person, an object or a web page apart.
Evaluate your content April 25, 2010 No Comments
Its all to easy to develop a site and put it online and then leave it to stagnate while you focus on other areas of your business. Its important to realize that your competitors won’t be doing the same.
Generally speaking the biggest competitors in an industry constantly add fresh content to their sites to keep above the competition. This is why its important to audit your site now and again to ascertain where your site is compared to the competition and to evaluate whether you need more content. Read the rest of this entry »
