Most people know that I live and breathe Hawaii SEO but I also EAT it as well.
This is how I typically fix lunch at the office.
I usually start with eatable text. Every SEO knows how much Google loves fresh, eatable text. The fresher the better! If you don’t have a small fridge in your office, […]
I would encourage everyone in the travel industry to rush out and buy this amazing book, but… I have no idea where you can get a copy. I was given a complimentary copy of the book today by the folks who put the project together at the PhocusWright travel conference in Orlando. And no… You […]
Shiela at GoVisitHawaii.com just blog tagged me to post my desktop image & Google just added some cool desktop widgets so I thought I would post my screen shot.

Google Reader now has cool trends.
I guess that works out to about 40 articles per day. Believe it or not… I read all 130 of these feeds periodically depending on the title of the post and how much time I have. I usually spend at least two or three hours a day reading about […]

So… Here are the facts.
1) I […]
One of my readers asks, “I am curious what it would take to get on the first SERP for Hawaii Wedding photographer.”
It’s a simple question but the answer can be more complicated than you would think so I’m going to outline a few things that he can do in several posts in an effort to […]
Barry Schwartz, had 100 promotional RustyBrick laptop bags made. Since he only has 100 of them & it’s almost the holiday season, I assumed I wouldn’t be getting one because they would all be going to clients, employees, friends, family and any one of a hundred or so search VIP’s.
However… a few are up for […]
Congratulations to Jim & Mary Boykin; the proud parents of their new baby boy, Nathaniel Thomas Scott Boykin! Great name! It has lost of possibilities for when he becomes an adult. I have a feeling that he will be known to his friends as Nate Boykin though. I have no doubt that he’ll be the […]
I’ve been experimenting with Yahoo! Answers for a few weeks to see what it was all about. Anyone can ask questions about anything they want and anybody who wants to; can try to answer the question.

What do I mean by “Reciprocal Link Ultimatums”?
I receive reciprocal link requests all the time. The pitch usually follows this line of reasoning: “If we link to each other, both of us will benefit.”
In many cases, this is true. We will both benefit. So why do people like me almost always delete these offers? […]
I got back from SES and was immediately swamped by the backlog of work that usually happens whenever I leave for a few days.
However… The Google Dance this year was even better than last year. I took lots of pictures and had a great time so even though I should have posted this about three […]

ASK knows how to throw a party!
This is a clip of the party they had at the Fahrenheit Nightclub with Fire Breathing Bartenders juggling Molotov Cocktails. (WOW) After the bartenders put out the fires, the waitresses got up on the bar and pored shots directly from the bottle into people’s mouths. I love that place.
The […]

A friend of his, who is a travel agent, asked for some advice to increase visitors to her website. Michael gave her several great ideas for a do-it-yourself project that I believe would be very effective for a travel agent.
Unfortunately, even though it’s a […]
Some Hawaiian words are easier to spell than others. This can be important when choosing a name or a domain name for your company.
People usually only search for things they can remember & spell.
