Has your publication noticed a recent rise in comments of approximately 1-4 lines in length filled with over-the-top but totally unspecific praise?

I spent the next couple of hours watching video after video, reaching the conclusion that this man is a past master at the art of that made-in-the-USA overwhelmingly favorite cuisine – Chinese restaurant food. In mainland China, people don’t […]

Expectations are funny things. I don’t know of any other medium that can be compared to the web for it’s ability to set false expectations of free or easy or instant success. Whereas virtually no one would expect to create, stock, open, advertise and promote a brick and mortar store on a thin dime, I […]

Working as a web designer, SEO and copywriter over the years, I’ve come to believe firmly in good fits for specific projects.

A new Cre8asite Forums’ member, JoeD, has started a very interesting thread regarding achieving conversions for small business clients in which he asks: “Ask your non-seo friends to list the places they’ve shopped at online. See if you can find a mom and pop level business that they bought from? If so, what percentage of […]

Over the past few months, my personal time has been absorbed by a grass roots movement in which I have become deeply involved here in California. The importance of the issue has impelled me to use every skill I possess as a writer, an artist, a graphic designer, an SEO, a marketer. I think the […]
