The web pages actually at the top of Google have only one thing clearly in common: good writing. Don’t let the usual SEO sacred cows and bugbears, such as PageRank, frames, and JavaScrïpt, distract you from the importance of good content.
I was recently struck by the fact that the top-ranking web pages on Google are [...]
On stress
It seems commonplace to say that life is stressful. It is becoming increasingly ‘normal’ to hear that this or that person is suffering from stress.

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Too Much Too Young?
