Review: Blog Oh! Blog

May 12, 2008

Ever since I moved from Blogger to WordPress, I have been in constant search for simple and yet elegant looking themes. I make it a point to bookmark themes I liked for future use in any of my site. Out of a number of WordPress theme designers out there, only a handful never fails to impress me and one of them is Jai Nischal Verma of Blog Oh! Blog.

Unlike some who comes up with several theme styles using the same design structure, every Blog Oh! Blog themes are uniquely designed from each other and most importantly, are offered FREE! Some premium themes are also available for those who wanted to have a more professional looking blog but don’t get the notion that the free ones are poorly done. In fact, I am currently using one of his free themes for my photoblog.

The Game Called Search Engine Marketing

February 20, 2008

I once had a problem with my blog appearing on search results. There are times that I appear as one of the top result on one search engines while falling way back in line on another search engine for the same keyword.

Anyone who owns a website, especially those involved in Search Engine Marketing, knows that this means potential profit is not being maximized. That is why I think that it is important that if one is into doing online business, he must invest time and money to optimize his presence in the web.

Find an online marketing service firm that can boost you to land naturally on top of every major search engine. This will help maximize your web sales and be favorable for your venture.

A word of advice, make additional effort to spot and avoid search engine marketing malpractice that helps other companies more than yours.
