Switching From Old iPhone To New 3G iPhone
I just upgraded from a first generation Apple iPhone to a shiny new 16GB white iPhone and am excited to switch over completely. All my data, phone book, etc are on the old system, though, and I am perpetually anxious about first sync as I'm afraid that the empty phone address book will overwrite my huge address book data already on the computer? How do you clone the old iPhone and the new?

Set Yourself Apart By Creating A Distinct Voice
One of the easiest ways to set yourself apart from your competitors is by creating a distinct voice through your written content. Whether you realize it or not, every website has a voice. For most businesses, the tone of their online voice is that of whoever wrote their content. Whether written by the site owner, an in-house writer, an SEO, a sub-contracted copywriter, or any such combination, each has contributed to creating the voice of the website.

SEO Keywords on Your Web Page
Recently I decided to start compiling a series of search engine optimization tips. Each search engine optimization tip will be very specific, should not take a long time to fix (or to check to see if you are following the search engine optimization best practices), and will be rather "short and sweet" and directly to the point.

The Right Way to Promote Your Brand Stream
Wondering if those metrics on your web site mean that you are losing audience right and left, might not be that way, people might be getting information off your site in a different way, from RSS through Friend Feed, comments and conversations off your site on comment dumping systems like disqus, stumble upon, video on YouTube or Blip.TV, the problem isn't your web site, it is all the other social networking systems you have plugged that web site into.

Run an Application in Multiple Spaces on Your Mac
I've become a big fan of Apple's Spaces system which lets me have a bunch of virtual screens on my laptop. This is particularly helpful when I'm playing games and (trying to) working at the same time. Thing is, I really want to have a few apps appear on all my Spaces, not just one. Is that possible?

Simple Ways to Improve your User Experience
I'm fascinated by human psychology, and in particular online human psychology. What makes a user complete one action while ignoring another. How changing some text can double the number of desired actions, or changing the layout of your page can increase your profits exponentially. And so I'm also fascinated by User Experience ("UX") and trying to apply online behavioural study from the user perspective.

Rank Tracking Can Be A Big Distraction
We don't focus on rank tracking when we work on a project. Sure, we do some of it, but it's simply not the goal. One of the biggest problems with it is that it becomes a big distraction. People will spend endless hours poring through rank tracking reports, and at the end of it all, the chances that it will change something you do today is virtually nil.

Hiring Multiple Search Marketing Firms
On occasion TopRank will get calls from prospective clients that ask about hiring multiple SEO agencies in an effort to get the "best of both worlds" in terms of best practices and performance through competition.
