Penguin 4 – it’s here. The new Google Update Penguin May 2013

The time has come for all the bad links to go and burn in hell. Not only that, they’ll come back and drag you into it too.

Project Management Software for SEO – My Choice

Wrike's Dynamic Gantt Chart

I used to be a sole base camp user when it came to managing the monthly SEO work flow in the past. At some point as the team and projects grew (partly due to incorporating more RCS into our strategies) I realised I needed a more robust and easier to manage tool.
