David Wilkinson: Little Man, Big Time Props

I first came across David Wilkinson when he did a guest post over on ShoeMoney’s blog.  Since then, I’ve added his RSS feed to my Google Reader, and I’m anxiously awaiting his site’s launch. I’ve always believed that a lot can be learned with regards to search, and at 13 years of age — this kid is going to bust out. Give his blog a read and stay tuned to his site.  You’ll learn something from what you consider to…

If What You’re Doing isn’t Ranking — Why Continue?

If What You’re Doing isn’t Ranking — Why Continue?

Benjamin Franklin scored with what has become one of the greate3st quotes of all time… The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
