New website design

March 17, 2014 by Peter Mahoney

New website design Wordpress SEO ExpertI’m very pleased to announce my own website has had a definite upgrade.

It’s updated to be fully responsive and looks great on portable devices like mobiles and tablets, and I like to think it’s well laid out and easy to use.

It’s actually been up for a few days as a trial, and within 24 hours I had a compliment from someone who had just come across my site for the first time, and said they found it easy to use and navigate.

What do you think?

(Oh yes, I’d be remiss if I didn’t add that I can make you a site just as awesome—ask me how.)

Taking my own advice

January 6, 2014 by Peter Mahoney

As you’d expect for someone obsessed with SEO I regularly check my own ranking on Google and the other major search engines.

But when I did my regular search today on Google I found myself in number two. 2! I’ve been first for months, and now there’s a pesky LinkedIn directory above me.

My first thought was, “But I haven’t changed anything!” and of course, that’s the problem.

I’ve only blogged a few times in the past four months. I used to keep a regular schedule of three times a week, and Google loved me for it. It got their SEO juices flowing. But now, I’m falling – and it’s totally because I’m not generating enough content.

Content really is king for SEO. Yes there are all sorts of things you can do behind the scenes (and as a WordPress SEO expert – those are my specialty) but ultimately SEO is about reinforcing your core content; key messages, what you’re all about – that sort of thing.

After the sort of work I do the next most important thing to keep Google, Bing – all the search engines happy -is to have regular, topical, original content on your site. And there’s almost no better way to achieve that than blogging. It doesn’t need to be called a blog of course – you can call that section Update, or News – whatever creates an area in your site where you’ll be posting regularly.

It’s ironic in one way (and not in the Alanis sense, but something that actually fits the definition of irony) in that I write to at least two clients a day extolling the virtues of blogging. I’ve been so busy preaching the blogging gospel that I haven’t had the time to do it myself.

Well, all that changes today. Thrice a week, you’ll see me writing. And you’ll see me back at number one as a result of those efforts.

And I won’t feel like such a hypocrite when delivering my SEO sermons.

New site launched! languageclinic.co.uk

May 22, 2013 by Peter Mahoney

I manage SEO for German Language Clinic, and as such suggested we migrate their site from the content management system it was using (a fairly obscure, search engine unfriendly one) to WordPress.

Which we did, in record time. And boy-oh-boy is the site better for it!

Yahoo! acquires Tumblr. If such a thing existed, this would be a very good time to buy WordPress shares.

May 20, 2013 by Peter Mahoney

It's official Yahoo acquires Tumblr for $1.1 billion, so now is a very good time to move to WordPress.

New site up and out! The Shyness Clinic

May 9, 2013 by Peter Mahoney

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.

You no longer own most of your photos (and other digital content).

April 30, 2013 by Peter Mahoney

Have you ever uploaded a photo to Facebook, Instagram or Flickr?

Previously, and in most of the world today, ownership of your creation is automatic, and legally considered to be an individual’s property. That’s enshrined in the Berne Convention and other international treaties, where it’s considered to be a basic human right.

The new UK law reverses this human right.

I have over 2,500 5-star feedback reviews (and I’ve never received less than the full five.)

Here’s just one example, from Mike who runs Costello Entertainments:

Migration, Hosting, SEO and Speed Work on our new website all completed quickly and efficiently and Peter was most helpful in fixing an issue with a Popover on the site as well. If you’re thinking about asking Peter to do a job for you or hesitating, JUST DO IT! – He knows programming and the internet inside out, he’ll get the job done for you professionally, with a smile. I wish I could call a plumber or a tradesman to do the jobs I can’t do myself with the same level of confidence.
