A quick update on the goings on at redsauce.com recently…

redsauce.com has grown very fast over the last year to now somewhere in the region of 12-14 people, situated in a couple of offices.  The reason for myself, right at this moment as I write this, not knowing the real number is that, well, its all moving very fast.

During this time, we have made some amazing stuff happen in various sectors including the office space sector, the care home … - Read More >

One of the most common things I spot day to day is sites that turn off visitors. Nobody wants to see how talented your flash designer is or navigate through over-complex navigation or tab systems. Visitors are looking for answers and your site needs to be geared towards delivery in order to retain the visitor.

The key to retaining visitors is to deliver your content in a clean and well-structured manner.… - Read More >

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?

“Who ever heard of a glam rock star named Vincent Furnier?” is a line from the Aviva TV advert.

Today I thought I’d let you know what I can see in the office and how it all ties into my understanding of SEO.

Selena and Chris are creating some sort of cube storage shelving thing but are being confounded by dowels, Adam is being uncharacteristically silent, Tim’s down Passion, Amy is working hard as usual, while James and Simon discuss something… somethingy.

Now it’s time to bring a tortured analogy from these observations into SEO – and I think … - Read More >

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 … - Read More >

It has been discovered by the boffins that be that computer brain training games, made popular by Nintendo DS and Carol Vorderman, do not make you smarter. How could you deceive me so, Carol?!

Over 11,000 people solved word games and mathematical problems in a bid to stretch their noggin muscles for six weeks in a study for the BBC. And although the screen-poking brainy-builders did get a teensy bit better in the score department, the geeks in white coats believe … - Read More >

Just read an interesting article about how modern day journalists are being forced to focus on the SEO aspect of their writing. Given the need to maintain readership and traffic, it is essential that those writing for online publications are aware that they need to embed the relevant keywords in their articles in order for them to be found.

Not every journalist is altogether happy about this as Charlie Brooker demonstrates when he says that journalists are being “shoehorned” into … - Read More >

Ding, ding, ding! The first round’s out and it looks like Gordon Brown’s going to win!

No… don’t worry James, I’ve not got my election head on and I’m not about to launch into some political tirade! I’m actually talking about online content! Yes, our Prime Minister is just the latest high profile figure to launch into the “to pay or not to pay?” debate.

Mmm…SPAM. Glorious, meaty treaty SPAM. It’s a meal in a can…fritters, sandwiches, cheap insulation. You name it, SPAM can do it!  Wrong spam? Oops, time for a quick turn around…Spam can be a real pain, huh?

Making use of blogging software systems such as WordPress or Movable Type are a super-easy way to get into blogging. However due to their popularity, link spammers know the format for spam comment submission, and they can make your life *cue doom voice* a … - Read More >
