SEO Sanitation From A Cleaner of Other People’s $#!+
By Andy Beard | Published: February 10, 2012
I often liken what I occasionally do to being a cleaner of other people’s $#!+ and in some ways that is what I do in my role as Product Manager at uQast (we are just starting our chartered launch), tracking down bugs & designing features that solve the problems of our customers.
It is much better being the “Head Cleaner” – then you don’t necessarily have to get out a mop & bucket yourself… let alone a plunger.

By Andy Beard | Published: January 26, 2012

By Andy Beard | Published: January 24, 2012
It is not as benign as you might think.
Here is a link to the original 720p mp4
Some of the points raised in the video
- We need to avoid a cartel of top sites with limited access, especially with Ggoogle and Facebook currently buying ads from each other in the free market.

Tech Blogging Triple Rainbow
By Andy Beard | Published: January 13, 2012
I just had to share this achievement by Mike Masnick as he might not see it himself.
The Techmeme page updates extrememly frequently pulling in stories algorithmically with some additional human curation but I have never seen one writer with a lead story and 2 additional reference posts without any additional “noise”, unless you count the larger child branch below. He has one post in that child branch as well.

Updated: Facebook & Twitter – Lucky To Be In Google At All
By Andy Beard | Published: January 12, 2012
Facebook & Twitter have some of the worst landing pages on the web.
At least if you look at it from a search engine perspective, who should assume that every visitor isn’t a member of the site they are referencing in the search engine.

Open Video To Google – Please Reinstate Chrome
By Andy Beard | Published: January 4, 2012
Dear Google
Your recent decision to invoke a manual penalty on the download page for Google Chrome will have lasting ramifications for the whole of online marketing, whether display advertising, affiliate marketing, and other performance marketing such as CPA models, making many such business models unworkable.

Google Buzz SEO – Evidence Buzz Now Used For Indexing
By Andy Beard | Published: June 8, 2011
I have been testing whether links posted in Google Buzz pass PageRank or at the very least can help with indexation of content since 22nd February 2010
I didn’t write a blog post about it, but I did write something exclusive for my readers on Google Buzz (those few of you out there) as a test case, posting a link from that page to one of the most poorly indexed sites known to the internet, which happens to be owned by Google.

rel=”author” is Same-Site Only
By Andy Beard | Published: June 7, 2011
I managed to ping Google’s @mattcutts after the announcement of rel=”author” support from Google on Twitter and he clarified the use case a little.
