SEO Corner: The Search Engine Marketing Cycle - Part 1
Reader Question: I am in the typical quandary of the Internet small business owner. I am trying to find a submission/optimization company that will do a good job for us at a reasonable price. We have found that the sales go up for about a three-month period when we take on a new service, then the sales level, then they fall. We are not opposed to paying a reasonable monthly fee, but we need a company who will actually be concerned about long-term results without us having to think about it and remind them.

Beware Of Search Engine Vanity
Just a few years ago, when asked "How do you drive traffic to your website", many companies would name banner ads as their main marketing medium for increasing online revenues.

Google Has Been a Mess - Take this Time to Prepare
I just wanted to ask you if you have had anyone complain recently about Google and their rankings? I normally rank #3 or #4 for the search term "custom glass". In the past few weeks I have dropped to page 4. The weird thing is that an unrelated hosting company appears on page 1 of the search results. They have nothing to do with custom glass. Also, I checked the link popularity of some of the sites that are ranking higher than me, and I have more links to me than they do. Do you know what is going on? It is really hurting my business.

SEO Corner - Search Engines and Font Tags
Question: Since Netscape handles the spacing around heading tags (<H1>,<H2>, etc.) differently from IE, I have been forced to use large font tags (<font size="6">) and bold them, so I can keep the spacing consistent, cross-browser.
