Google snippets, keep an eye out for changes

by

I love Google snippets. In fact, I adore them. You can see an example of one just here, a picture of my face next to my search results.

They get clicked on more often, and carry a heavier weight in the minds of users. You want them, basically. Badly.

Mine went away temporarily, and it pays to stay on top of this sort of thing. Google slightly changed the way they interpret a site’s code when deciding if and what a snippet might be of.

In this instance, I was relying on having my Google Plus account set up to relate to this site, but suddenly needed to have a link back from the site to my Google Plus profile, in the form of an author tag in the website’s code.

It took all of 90 seconds to fix. But in the eyes of the casual searcher, I’m back punching with the big boys.

If you’d like to get ahead with snippets on your site, be sure to let me know.

New site up and out! The Shyness Clinic

by

I’m doing quite a bit of help for a client to get his online presence (and therefore, his community) tied together effectively.

He had an online brand that was working pretty well, but then another site that in practice was unrelated, and a desire for a third to help attract different clients, but for a similar product offering.

Step one was to get the existing site working for him, ready to integrate with his personal brand. And that’s where we’re at, so after quite some years without any change or improvement, The Shyness Clinic is finally ready to fly.
