SE Ranking – An SEO Tool That Works With AND For You
SE Ranking has made some great strides in 2018. They've added several databases for keyword and competitor research in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Ireland, and New Zealand. They've also polished their interface to give it a more slick and modern look. Now that the new year is almost here, their goals are even more ambitious.
Gender based study reveals a stark constrast for online review habits
This study, conducted by BrightLocal, asked U.S. consumers a series of questions regarding their habits with online reviews. The main objective was to determine how men and women evaluate a business based off of online reviews. Perhaps the most interesting piece of information comes from the results of the frequency of reading reviews between both genders.
My Top 3 Gripes with the Gutenberg Editor for WordPress
My initial impressions of the Gutenberg editor were not very favorable. I've only installed WordPress 5.0 on one website thus far. My own niche website. I wrote two blog posts on that site with the new editor before pulling the plug and installing the Classic Editor plugin. I tried.. I mean, really tried to give Gutenberg a chance. It's not for me. It's one of those cases where people either love it or hate it. From my observations, the hate it camp far outweighs those who love it. There's a certain correlation between WordPress newcomers and those who have worked...
The Relation Between Knowledge Panel, Local Pack, and Organic Ranking
Google search results have changed drastically over the last several years. It wasn't too long ago when it was just paid ads and organic results cluttering the Google SERPs. Now, there are so many different informational widgets that appear at the top of these results. This pushes organic rankings further down the page which led to the question, "Why do I even need a website?".
WordPress 5.0 has finally landed, are you prepared for Gutenberg?
The problem with Gutenberg is that it is forced onto WordPress users. Sure, there is a classic editor plugin that you can install. However, users are reporting incompatibilities with other popular plugins such as Yoast SEO. In my opinion, Gutenberg should have a core option of being enabled or disabled. An editor plugin shouldn’t be necessary to deactivate it.
Niche Dreams – Part 5: The Auto-Pilot Month
This month's report is only going to feature statistics for the most part. Why? I got married and went on a honeymoon!

I'm sure many other niche site builders have similar situations where life happens and important events take priority. Reading other case studies, I even see...
Google looks set to introduce comments on search results
Currently, it seems that a commenting feature is enabled for soccer (football) match results for popular teams. For instance, searching for Brazil national football team will display a green-themed infobox. Details such as matches, players, and news are available to view. Clicking on the matches tab takes the visitor to a list of past and upcoming matches. Results with videos, in the cases I've tested, have a comments section within them.

WordPress 5.0 release gets pushed back by a week
WordPress 5.0 should be a significant update for one of the most popular content management systems on the planet. Instead, it feels like it's a change that nobody asked for or wants. I think the WordPress team has missed the boat with the block-level editor Gutenberg. Perhaps if it was released a few years ago when other premium builders were gaining popularity, the excitement among developers and designers would be heightened.
