CCPA, GDPR, 2020 And What They Mean To Your Site
CCPA AND GDPR Shoulda Made It On Your Radar by now, but I bet it hasn’t. At least based on the random 24 sites I visited today. Nearly three in four sites have no CCPA or GDPR mandated announcements. WHAT ARE COOKIES From the early days of the internet you’ve received cookies. Cookies are a small text file that identifies you to a site once you visit it. Now how does it identify you? Not specifically in and of themselves, think of them as tokens. Or prize tickets … the token or ticket doesn’t have to have information directly about you it could be just a number. Say you visit my site I give you a cookie and it has a number I assigned to you. Your 777. You come back a day later and your computer shows your cookie and I know that 777 was here yesterday so you’ve returned. I may show content specifically for a returning visitor. I may already know what content you saw on my site from last time. Seems harmless enough but that was the dawn of the internet today sites aggregate data, for instance Google Analytics runs on a lot of sites. Maybe …

Google Analytics And Adwords In Data Studio
Previously we’ve discussed Google Data Studio as a possible Wordstream Alternative and in Google Data Studio Knows Everything SEO, Or It Can we’ve noted to ability to combine different data sets from Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Ads and more. These combined data sources allow us to produce rich graphs that are easy to understand but key to website performance and search engine positioning. In this article we’re going to look further in the implications for your digital marketing strategy when PPC is fueled by Data Studio. Data From Multiple Sources To Improve Your CPC Campaign Adwords ads are priced along some similar factors as SEO. The landing page experience is the prime example. If Adwords or Google Ads determines your user experience is going to be poor it penalizes you by charging more .. many times more driving up your ad costs. It makes sense though, Google wants to deliver good user experiences so for them to send people to a poorly designed page with little relevancy it’ll cost you. This metric is the quality score and it is a ten point scale. 1 meaning its awful and 10 it cant be any better. Monitoring our data we …

What is SEO? SEM SMM and even SMO
Each of these four domains of knowledge are collectively Digital Marketing. Digital Marketing is the promotion of online content to targeted audiences. Search Engine Optimization or SEO SEO is the oldest domain of Digital Marketing. Don’t be fooled though by the length of time this has been around. SEO is fluid and often changes making the methods of five, ten or twenty years ago worthless, if not a liability. Search Engine Marketing SEM is the second oldest and can be called PPC or Pay Per Click. PPC is actually a form of SEM you could pay per impression or pay per conversion. The key commonality of SEM methods that seperates it from SEO is that it is paid. Social Media Optimization or SMO Social Media is a ranking factor and it has been for sometime. SMO is the counterpart of SEO but rather than Search Engine’s the target is Social Media. Its all about creating a buzz and maintaining if through organic shares and retweets. Social Media Marketing or SMM SMM is the SEM counterpart with Social Media. Its paid, unlike SEO and SMO. Paying Facebook to boast your post is an example of SMM Why does SEO, SMM, SEM …

Disavowing theglobe.net bad backlinks from Sweden
theglobe.net What’s worse? The crappy website they have with no content and just super spammy links or the fact that you nor I ever asked for that bad backlink? The fact that the charge to delete a link to you at $35 a link shows how they crash your backlink party. But hey, Google knows this right, they wouldn’t hurt your site still…wrong! Monetized Bad Backlink Site With Spam Links I wish we could collect money like a nonprofit from SEOs everywhere and raise the $10,000,000 asking price of theglobe.com and just turn it off. Why is it I hate theglobe.com so much? Cause their links are bad. Previous to this post I’ve always said don’t use the Disavow Tool unless facing a manual penalty. Its the Google answer … but I tried something, disavowed a few hundred domains all connected to theglobe.net and over the next 3 weeks I saw a marked improvement in keywords and their position. A client had the same issue. 300 domains from Sweden many with theglobe.com in their domain name mostly all with it at least in the page title included in their link profile.

What’s Trust And Authority Using CF TF AS DR DP DA DS In SEO
Back in the early days of SEO (2000-2010) Google used “Page Rank” which was a number that was 1-10, the higher the rank the better the site would do when ranking keywords. As is the story in SEO, every time folks get something thats useful they go to far and it gets the Google penalty smash down. Page Rank was no longer shared with us, to prevent websites from just trying to learn the test and not trying to make the site good for users. A vacuum forms though when you take something away, and others were happy to fill that with, mostly just guesses. Big difference now though is that the numbers go all the way to 100! SEO Metrics: DA DS DR DT CF TF DP AS and domain authority ranking. If the title confuses you don’t worry. Id expect even intermediate SEOs are not familiar with all of those letters. Domain Authority or DA is a well established SEO metric by Moz.com that many often confuse with Google’s ranking of keywords. Lets just remind everyone interested in their DA …that it has NOTHING to do with Google’s search results. It MAY be based on some of the …

More Than Keywords – How Local SEO Is Done
I’ve penned a lot of articles over the last couple years and it never crossed my mind to really attempt at ranking for the keyword Louisville SEO. I searched it tonight and found the top result was an SEO firm or agency that pretty much uses 1999 (same year they were founded) tactics on their ranking page. Keyword stuffing is supposed to have gone the way of the doodoo and I push clients away from over using a phrase. This page uses the target keyword 46 times. There 1000 word article is 5% of the time Louisville SEO. I thought well, this just has to be done. As a native Louisvillian who works full time in SEO I can’t sit aside and allow the leader of this keyword to be everything I claim is dead in modern day search algorithms. Louisville SEO appears 5 times in this paragraph, reading it does it seem they’re forcing it? This challenge I’ve decided to accept should serve as a testament to Louisville businesses seeking an expert in SEO strategy both Local SEO and National/Global SEO. I hope to jump up in the top 10 by 2020, depending upon backlinks it could be …

PBN, GuestPost or Syndication for Backlink Building
Backlink BuildingWe can spend all day optimizing our pages for keywords that we researched for days and never rank content on Google Search. Its just the cold hard fact that in SEO onpage optimization is the easiest thing and it used to work in the 1990s … heck back then you could keyword stuff and just repeat the same phrase enough in the background and you’d get some traction. Yes, SEO is dead … if thats the SEO you are using.Backlinks moved in and added some credence to the claims that our content should rank for this or that keyword. It made sense, each site that links to you with the anchor text including your keyword was that site basically vouching for your content. If thats all you think backlinks are then … Yes, SEO is dead … simply having a ton of links to your site isn’t a sure fire way to demonstrate that your content is rank worthy anymore.Backlinks created a storm of opportunity in SEO for gaming the system and stacking the deck.

Adding a User to Google Adwords as an Admin
The easiest way to allow someone else to administer your Google Adwords campaigns is likely to add them as an Admin to your existing account. This allows you to own the campaigns and keep the records long after the user has ended their work on your project. It also leaves you still in charge of the budget and keeps you in an oversight role of your campaign. Google has made it easy to add an Admin to Adwords. Step One. In Adwords click the wrench, labeled “TOOLS” you’ll be able to then select “Account Access” From the Account Access screen click the blue circle with the plus in it on the left-hand side of the page.

Adobe Flash Ends A Decade Late
Adobe Will No Longer Support Flash After 2020, 10 Years After Steve Jobs Argued Why It Should End In 2010. Google Announced in September 2019 that it was phasing out support for Flash from its Chrome browser following Adobe;s announcement that they would end support in 2020. Apple users wont likely hear much about the end of Flash, in 2010, Steve Jobs wrote a scathing review of Flash and in it explained why Apple products wouldn’t support it. Google’s Flash Announcement: For 20 years, Flash has helped shape the way that you play games, watch videos and run applications on the web. But over the last few years, Flash has become less common. Three years ago, 80 percent of desktop Chrome users visited a site with Flash each day. Today usage is only 17 percent and continues to decline. This trend reveals that sites are migrating to open web technologies, which are faster and more power-efficient than Flash. They’re also more secure, so you can be safer while shopping, banking, or reading sensitive documents. They also work on both mobile and desktop, so you can visit your favorite site anywhere. These open web technologies became the default experience for Chrome late last year when …

Adwords And Google Data Studio: Wordstream Alternative
I’ve been managing Google Adwords campaigns for political campaigns mostly but recently I stepped out into managing the Adwords campaigns for an IT consulting company. It’s a little bit of a challenge I’m not going to lie. More than just matching the search with the keyword I need to attract only business customer and cut out residential. So as you can image someone Googles “IT Help Desks” and they might be looking for a specific help desk, a personal help desk or a help desk to contract business services too. Wordstream Free Alternative In Ultimate SEO‘s struggle to compete in this expensive market I tried Wordstream out for a week and a half of so and thats really not enough time to get much actionable help. I was pulled into a sales demo consultation and sure it seemed like it could offer insights but WOW … the expense associated with that out paced any other SEO tool I use.

Bad Backlinks: 100 Sites You Don’t Want A Backlink From.
UPDATE: 2020 – So the bad backlinks list hasn’t gotten shorter but my advice on the Disavow Tool is different than in 2019. Originally I took the official Google answer and repeated it: “Don’t use the disavow tool unless you know of manual action taken against your domain” but … I’ve never been one to just say okay and believe it. I need to test things and see it for myself. Prior to this experiment, I’d say that I was under the impression that using the disavow tool was dangerous. It still is so proceed with caution. The statement in “” above is only a good one if we can trust that Google is smart enough to realize that you didn’t pay 350 sites in Sweden to link to you on a page with 10,000 other site’s links. That would be dumb to do, so I assumed Google knew I didn’t do it. That they wouldn’t penalize a site on theglobe.net or its hundreds of other crap domains. I was wrong, I think. I disavowed theglobe.net’s 350 sites and overall I saw a steady improvement across the board in keyword performance. So should you disavow bad backlinks? We’ll my answer …

Political SEO Case Study: Louisville Metro Council Website
Highlands Campaign Site A site that I was lucky to work on during this 2020 election was that of Shawn Reilly, a candidate for Louisville Metro Council District 8. The site is aesthetically pleasing, the candidate picked out a good template for that. The template does incorporate some oddities in its coding and utilizes a page builder that was new to me. Elementor remains my go to favorite page builder and is widely used, this template uses Bold Builder which reminds me a little bit of King or WP Page Bakery. The page builder can be unintuitive and clunky at times requiring creative fixes and CSS hacks. Ultimately though I’d say the page builder is neither an asset or a liability for this theme.

It all makes sense certainly, but Drift is executed in a very sloppy way that pays little regard to SEO and drives your site’s traffic into the ground.Weighing The Conversions Vs The Page SpeedA plugin that …

Data Studio Demo Report
I’ve shared a Google Data Studio Report about Louisville crime over the last 10 years that I made in an effort to demonstrate some of my reporting and data experience. The target audience for this is Upwork contracts that I am seeking to pick up. Its a cool tool though that I’ve used to make a lot of helpful reports. Its populated real time from an SQL server I have running on Google Cloud Platform. I’m more proud of the Louisville Voter Data Report but I think it would be a mistake to share that out there with everyone. Heres a teaser image though of a 14 page comprehensive break down of every voter in Jefferson County, their demographics and their voting history The report focuses heavily on voters who have previously voted in a majority of previous elections. People are likely to do the same thing they have always done so these are likely good targets for getting a message out too before election day. If your interested in cloud computing or data analysis feel free to follow along as I’m going to try and keep an updated discussion of what I experience with the Upwork requirements I receive …

MatthewLeffler.com
I’ve begun a revamping of matthewleffler.com, which has been the same as my mattleffler.me site. I decided it was important to demonstrate WordPress use and diversify my personal domains. mattleffler.me continues the HTML5/CSS Bootstrap site while matthewleffler.com provides a card style WordPress implementation. These are in essence portfolio pieces that Upwork projects can view when I propose a new contract. My work with Brent Ackerson for Jefferson County Attorney concluded last week but I’m maintaining the sites built as part of the portfolio of work I’ve done in cloud computing, hosting, web design and SEO …

How Protecting Escort Sites Helped Cloudflare Defend Against DOS Attacks
Original Title: CloudFlare: more traffic than Amazon, Wikipedia, Twitter, Instagram, and Apple combined VENTUREBEAT STAFF JULY 18, 2012 9:00 AM This post is part of a consultation series that we’re doing along with our friends at The Next Web and Trend Hunter. Each of the three sites has picked a company that’s effectively utilizing new technologies to get them ahead in their space. Here’s our take on The Next Web’s pick, CloudFlare: CloudFlare is the internet you’ve never heard of. More than just a content delivery network, the service optimizes massive chunks of the web for delivery, screens out hacking and malware attacks, provides analytics, and more. And the service is growing like wildfire. A year ago, CloudFlare served about five billion page views a month. Today, the yes-we’re-a-content-delivery-network-but-more serves up an astounding 65 billion pages per month. “We do more traffic than Amazon, Wikipedia, Twitter, Zynga, AOL, Apple, Bing, eBay, PayPal and Instagram combined,” chief executive Matthew Prince told VentureBeat. “We’re about half of a Facebook, and this month we’ll surpass Yahoo in terms of pageviews and unique visitors.” And it’s all based on a foundation of free.

MOV: SEO Framework 25 steps
Reprint but thought some could find this useful. Its a good read to get a quick and broad understanding of what is involved in SEO of a site. Repost from Mov By: Cyrus Shepard May 14th, 2013 How to Rank: 25 Step Master SEO Blueprint Advanced SEO The author’s views are entirely his or her own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz. If you’re like most SEOs, you spend a lot of time reading. Over the past several years, I’ve spent 100s of hours studying blogs, guides, and Google patents. Not long ago, I realized that 90% of what I read each doesn’t change what I actually do – that is, the basic work of ranking a web page higher on Google. For newer SEOs, the process can be overwhelming. To simplify this process, I created this step by step SEO blueprint. It’s meant as a frameworkfor newer SEOs to build their own work on top of. This basic blueprint has helped, in one form or another, 100s of pages and dozens of sites to gain higher rankings. Think of it as an intermediate SEO instruction manual, for beginners. Level: Beginner …

Actual Client Reviews
My name is Glen and i have several businesses and have been in business over 19 years. I have ordered hundreds of gigs on Fiverr and Upwork and Ultimate-SEO and Matts team is by far the best computer IT and SEO freelancers on Upwork. Don’t hesitate to order from him. Matt, he is honest, prompt, very intelligent and most important is matt is 100% trustworthy.
Matthew is highly skilled and went above and beyond for us in this project. What I like best about him is that he is constantly thinking outside the box, which helps bring things much further along than perhaps even imagined. Very efficient, good communicator, and fun guy to work with!
… was one of the top recommended freelancers and his profile gave me all of the information I needed. He contacted me quickly and was in constant contact with me through the move of my blog from Blogger to WordPress. He was so patient with my lack of knowledge and simply explained some concepts, keeping me in the loop. This was a wonderful first experience with Upwork!
Matthew is a rare combination of a person with expert knowledge of his industry mixed with creativity. He knows both the technical side and the visual artistry involved with creating a website. He is one of a kind.
Matt has been excellent to work with in setting up multiple domains using WordPress, AWS and Cloudlfare and Gsuite. I look forward to working with him again.
