We’ve been messing around with QR codes for a few years now and thought it proper to finally have a logo retrofitted.
PSSSSST! If you have an Android or iPhone use your barcode scanner or QR code scanner app on the above logo. đ

It has been over a year since Google started personalizing your search results regardless of if you are signed-in to your Google account.
Here’s a holiday SEO hat-tip to help you find out where your website or blog really ranks by temporarily turning Google personalized search results off.
Add &pws=0 at the end of a Google search URL in your web browser’s address bar.
For example:
If you are searching for “boise internet marketing” your URL will look something like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=boise+internet+marketing
If it doesn’t – modify it to match-up, then add &pws=0 to the end of the URL so your URL looks like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=boise+internet+marketing&pws=0
The latter will temporarily return results unaffected by Google personalized search, granting you a clearer viewpoint of how your website or blog ranks without Google ‘personalizing’ your results. Keep in mind that you will need to do this for each search performed.
Happy Holidays!
Backlinks are linky votes of confidence, and are core to any serious SEO campaign. Backlinks represent links from other websites that point to your site, and are very important in regard to how well your website or blog ranks in the search engines. The more quality backlinks a site has translates into better search engine rankings… in a nutshell.
The main reason why backlink sources are not revealed is simple; Blackhat SEOs can use that information for shady intentions. All the more reason to hire a professional SEO; which have the tools to track backlinks beyond what is readily available to the general public, and experience to formulate viable Off-Page SEO strategy. Plus, we tend to have a ‘knack’ for knowing all of the good places to get ‘juicy’ backlinks. đ
Curious about who’s linking to your website or blog? Use the backlink checker tool below to find out. Note: Pay close attention to the PageRank of backlink locations (URLs), this is a quality indicator of the site linking to you. Generally speaking, you want backlinks from websites that have a higher PageRank than your own site or blog. You can check your PageRank here.
Tip! Enter your competitor’s website address to find out where they are getting backlinks from.
Tip! Enter your Twitter, YouTube, Facebook Fan Page or other social network profile URL to find out if people are linking to you.
