Other Twitter people reported seeing it as early as Friday. <a href="http://www.designbigger.com/blog/seo/google-rewrites-page-titles-to-push-brand-over-keywords/" rel="nofollow">Read More ></a>]]></description>

Another stat that&#8217;s interesting is about 3% are notifications of a hacked site; chances are, you&#8217;ve seen pharma spam in the SERP results that lead to a normal-looking page.

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to keyword research, I'm guilty of doing the same old thing; I open up the AdWords Keyword Tool and start pecking away, hoping to take a few general head keywords and turn it into something workable. I'm pretty sure every other SEO on the planet starts out keyword research pretty similarly, if not the exact same way.

Most of our customers are traditionally paper and pen kind of businesses; the digital landscape is pretty new to them, and subsequently, they may not really have many online assets (service manuals, documentation, whitepapers, etc.). It kind of struck me today that while getting these things online and working in our benefit might be extremely costly, we can still take advantage of them for the initial brainstorming phase (not to mention content fodder down the road). <a href="http://www.designbigger.com/blog/seo/analog-keyword-research/" rel="nofollow">Read More ></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In successful SEO campaigns, long-term return on investment tends to be better than in a PPC campaign. It&#8217;s almost like renting versus buying; even though you might have spend more upfront, you&#8217;re building equity that can be &#8220;cashed in&#8221; later in the form of organic rankings, citations/backlinks, and search engine results page domination.

While it's never been on par with AdWords, there was some value to be had in certain verticals. In what we'd call a bold move, Marissa Mayer and company have launched Cost Per Lead ads, in a bid to earn some income in advertising apart from the Microsoft deal on normal PPC ads. <a href="http://www.designbigger.com/blog/ppc/yahoo-testing-cost-per-lead-search-ads/" rel="nofollow">Read More ></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All the time, we're told that all of our efforts should push traffic only to our site. We should be building links to try to raise domain authority, take advantage of referral traffic, and building up rankings for our site. While we can't abandon those ideas altogether, sometimes there are moments where stepping outside of that thought pattern can really help us in the long run. <a href="http://www.designbigger.com/blog/seo/3-ways-to-seo-someone-elses-site-and-benefit-from-it/" rel="nofollow">Read More ></a>]]></description>
