Now more then ever its interesting to see the amount of journalism headlines creeping into SEO news and SEO Blog sources. Journalism and SEO have never been so close, with Rupert Murdock shouting “content isn’t king its the emperor” and trying to charge for content , and newspapers threatening to sue news aggregators for including their articles.

There are still many out there who fear SEO and online content but on the other hand there are many who are taking … - Read More >

Anyone who keeps an eye on the organic rankings for the term “SEO” will not have failed to have noticed this site in the top 3…www.seo-london.com.

A few weeks ago we were having a chinwag in the office about a local barber shop.  The first bit of amazement was just the fact that James got a haircut. After the initial shock of James’ grooming, we chatted about how the barber he went to seemed to be struggling for custom.

So, as it happens I’ve had one hell of a week word-wizarding at Red Sauce.

I’m still a newbie, avoiding numerous wedgies and getting my glasses flushed down the toilet repeatedly, but I’m already starting to pick up on this content malarkey.

To be honest, there’s no avoiding it. I’ve been living and breathing content since I came to Red Sauce. I’d eat it, if it tasted any good.

Just read an excellent article about how the trust of a website, among other factors, can influence the rankings of a website. Whilst this may seem obvious, it is interesting to note the extent to which trust of a domain can compensate for the lack of other orthodox ranking factors such as optimised anchor text or to some extent relevance/authority of inbound links.
