Top 10, er 5, things to write about when you can’t find anything to write about July 26, 2010 No Comments
A common complaint amongst blog writers is a lack of inspiration, topics to write about and writer’s block. Yes even us content writers with our massive brains and superhuman keyboard skills do sometimes struggle to find something we think is worth writing about. Case in point – right now.
BUT we do have a number of things to do when we simply can’t write…
R.I.P WordPress? July 14, 2010 No Comments
Now here at redsauce.com we love WordPress – there’s no doubt about it! The original blogging platform has evolved dramatically since its first release and is now widely regarded as one of the best free open source Web software options on the net.
WordPress is used by hundreds of thousands of bloggers worldwide and has just celebrated its one hundredth million plug in download. Despite its current champion status, it seems the WordPress dream could be about to come crashing down.
WordPress has new competition in the form of Posterous. The blogging site has already claimed Blogger and Twitpic but now has WordPress firmly in its sights and there’s a good chance Posterous could also dominate this blog platform too. Read the rest of this entry »
Too much choice and SEO July 13, 2010 No Comments
Is too much choice a bad thing?
Now, instinctively I’d say “no” but recently I’ve been unable to choose what film to watch of an evening and I’m pretty sure it’s all because I’ve got too much choice.
It has to be that because I’ve got some amazing films like The Godfather, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, The 40 year old virgin, Scent of a woman, Amelie, Jurassic Park, to name but a few. So how can I not pick a film to watch?
The answer: I have so many that I don’t know where to start.

Microsoft’s X-BOX 360 have released a new game, Crackdown 2, which is a prequel to the already, extremely popular, Crackdown.

As you go through the game, you will unlock more and more secrets about what actually went wrong in the first place to release this ravenous horde of zombies.
Take a break to improve your content June 29, 2010 No Comments
I’m off work this week, so there’s no SEO or content writing for me, unfortunately.
Instead, I’m sitting at home watching the Tennis; at the moment it’s Federer vs. Melzer and Federer is up one set (and yes I did write this yesterday).
But I hear you ask: “What’s this got to do with SEO?” Well, I’m about to tell you.
Put down the vuvuzelas June 28, 2010 No Comments
So we lost.
I say we, I mean the English football team – a sorry, tired bunch of overly familiar and disappointing faces struggling to keep up with fantastic play from the Germans. A rag-tag group of cocky, overpaid individuals who appeared lost on the field; maybe they had greater intentions to return to the studio and make a few more adverts.
Can spending $80 on a hair cut or your website change your fortunes? June 23, 2010 No Comments
The boss may be away but he’s still in contact! James has been e-mailing fresh from the States everyday with his news… and what news he has!
So far in his 5 or 6 days he’s… well as far as I know he’s not really done a lot! The only thing that he’s been excited about doing in the 37oC Dallas sun is getting an $80 hair cut! Yes… he’s gone all the way to America to get his hair cut! Now this wouldn’t normally be cause for a blog post but it cleverly links in with SEO and content.
The thing is James unfortunately thinks that splashing out on an $80 haircut could change his fortunes and make him look less like a well-known cartoon character. In fact, he’s convinced himself so much that it’s going to work that he’s even come up with names of ladies he’s apparently met over there (all platonic of course, just in case Samantha is reading this!) Oh dear! In the same way that spending $80 on a website isn’t going to transform your tired site, neither is an $80 hair cut going to transform a tired man! Read the rest of this entry »
No website is an Island! June 15, 2010 No Comments
About a boy is an amazing film and not just because it’s Hugh Grant’s best film, it’s really funny, it was wrote by Nick Horby and it’s really moving and emotional.
And also because it has a single message, ‘No man is an Island’.
Which means, we can’t live alone and unconnected from our fellow man (sorry I went a bit Dickens there) but instead we must live together, form relationships and just connect with other human beings.
And the same is true for websites.
House of the rising SEO ranking June 14, 2010 No Comments
What an odd title.
I’ve been moving house this weekend and everything is massively hectic; boxes strewn all over the place, mountains of discarded packaging and cleaning products, not to mention clothes, wires and DVDs EVERYWHERE.
Being slightly nonsensical and difficult, my initial plan was to tidy all the small stuff and make the place look nice, somewhat ignoring the stacks of boxes that blocked every walkway and turned a casual stroll through each room into an obstacle course of tedium.
How could cockroaches be good for your website? June 12, 2010 No Comments
Cockroaches and the internet… not two phrases you’d normally associate together but using my literary skills I’m going to write a brilliant blog post cleverly combining the two.
Cockroaches – icky, creepy and generally a bit disgusting but new research has come out this week which shows that maybe we’re not giving them enough credit (see, I’ve got you all intrigued now!). Yes, as hard as it is to believe, a London university has spent the last few years researching the creepy crawlies and has found that their behaviour consists of much more than just scuttling around, scaring foreign tourists.
