The demise of “click here” link text

The words “click” and “here”, when combined, make for one of the most superfluous phrases ever in the history of the Internet. Even Al Gore could not think of a more pointless combination of words to use on a web page.

Do You Want Your Blog On or Off Site?

We at MCG are in the final stages of the Phase II updates to our website at http://Demandmcg.com. The main change you’ll see is that we moved our blog from off-site at http://CMOthink.com to a new, cooler design on-site. I know a lot of websites and companies, including ourselves, have their blog off-site because it’s just so easy to make a blog with one of the free services out there like Blogger or Wordpress, However, in my opinion, it is a better option to have your blog on-site because it not only will improve SEO for your website, but it will maintain continuity between your blog and the rest of your site.

But alas, the day of reckoning has finally arrived: the top dog finally noticed that your company’s website does not appear until the 32nd page of a Google search.
