I mean from the Google webmaster central blog, free. The 22 page Google SEO guide is what it is - for starters. But on the other hand, I’ll also say that its packed with what is essential for your site to perform on Google. If you just stick to the concepts illustrated in pages 2 to [...]

SEO experts can bend the truth

I was just walking in from my hall and I saw a television advert about a documentary coming up in Singapore entitied “The World According to Google”.

Google Chrome: The Story After the Story

It never fails to amaze me how one event in the Internet industry can lead to other events. Just two weeks ago, we saw the release of Google Chrome - Google’s open source web browser. To the layman or the small time businessman (me! ) we all think that “Oh, Google is out to [...]

Comex 2007 Singapore post popped out of Google. Totally.

For some reason or another, my Comex 2007 post (which was my another attempt to optimize and monetize on search trends) was popped out of Google totally today.
