Just a little under two weeks ago, we received numerous reports that a very large number of sites had experienced a sudden drop in Page Rank. Many immediately began claiming that Google had rolled out an update for its rank formula to penalize for paid links. Others played down these reports offering that their own sites had experienced no change at all.

How do we know who to believe? How do we sort through the hearsay and report findings based not on alchemy, but instead on real science?

Well luckily, here at the MOZplex, we have quite the arsenal of tools up for the job.

Step 1. - Creating the button

Now the first thing we are going to do is start a new canvase with the size of 500px (width) x 400px (height) to start off the button design. Create a new layer call ‘bg01‘. Select the Rounded Rectangular Tool, hold SHIFT and draw a round sided square in the center. The reason we hold shift is to keep the image square.

I found Brighton SEO a while back, I just wish he would bloody blog a bit more, the chap seems to know what he is talking about.

It’s a good time to be a UK SEO. There is a lack of expertise in this area and currently demand is outweighing the supply. This is certainly going to benefit a lot of the seasoned pros, as more and more set up internships and conferences in order to increase the UK offering.

Really wordpress when you decided to screw up the whole category system adding tags would it have been that hard to add a “nofollow” parameter flag to the_tags? I mean does anybody on the wordpress team get duplicate content as a concept?
