Should you use Google Ads as part of your online marketing?

Basic OnPage SEO Tips – The Image ALT Tag

July 7, 2012 by Jan Kearney

The image ALT tag describes the image in context with the page

Considering how long the image ALT tag has been around, it always surprises me how often it is neglected by web designers. If you want a Jan rant, ask me about web designers who then go on to offer SEO services but can’t get the basic onpage SEO elements in place… Needless to say, the […]

google drive not ready

Catching my eye this week in Google… 2 Major Updates – Penguin and Panda Well, I couldn’t fail to miss these with the amount of posts around the web.

Meet Jan Kearney

I believe that every business, no matter how small or how local can use the power of the web to gain more customers. I offer no bull coaching and mentoring so small business owners can strategically put the web to work for their business. I've been called a "compass" and a "navigator" and probably a few more names that aren't suitable for a profile!
