For today’s SEO throwback thursday we will be looking at Google Pagerank. It was a way to determine your sites importance, used in SERP rankings and a great way to see how your marketing efforts where resulting in your websites success.
Pagerank was a simple number between 0-10 that showed the importance of a website or page based on the Pagerank of sites linking to theirs. Google updated it about 4 or so times a year, up until Novemeber, 2013 when it was discontinued.
It’s hump day and I thought what better way to get through the week then with some laughs. Here is a collection of 10 funny SEO memes that I created that the Search Engine Optimization community might find humorous. So sit back, relax and enjoy these SEO memes.
Today launched the first day of Search Marketing Expo in Silicon Valley and one of the early topics of discussion was Voice Search with Google Engineering Director Behshad Behzadi. We know that mobile search is on the rise and more and more of those searches are being done through voice recognition than conventional keyboards each day, but does that matter to SEO specialists and Digital Marketers or is it just something for Google to worry about?

My day job is in corporate advertising doing television and radio ads. When working on a 30 second ad, a lot of the time the copy is too long and you need to make cuts and edits. In the mid 2000’s whenever we worked on an advertisement that had a website in it and needed to make such cuts, I would always suggest dropping the HTTP from the commercial to save some time. Unfortunately most of the time there would be an older client that didn’t quite understand the Internet and would want to keep the HTTP thinking no one would understand it was a website without it.
Of course now in 2016 people have long lost and forgotten the HTTP prefix. When was the last time you heard it or typed it in yourself?
