Ghost spam : what is it?

25th August 2016

We’re all familiar with the concept of spam and spam traffic to websites that shows up on Google Analytics’ data and can, depending on the size of the site and the level of traffic it receives, really skew the data collected and make it hard to accurately analyse what is happening with the site and its visitors. Ghost spam shows up in Google Analytics as a visit, but doesn’t mean anything or anyone has visited the site. Learn about creating the right filters to avoid it.

The Twitter Divide: ‘Favourite’ Fan or a ‘Like’ Lover?

6th May 2016

Twitter has replaced the trusty ‘favourite’ star with the new heart button. We have had much debate in the office surrounding Twitter’s ‘favourite’ star, and now the new ‘love’ heart.

8th October 2015

The ones that follow you around the Internet, the ones that pop up half way through the article you’re reading or the flashy ones at the top of a page. Adverts are everywhere and are ever more pervasive, invasive and persistent, until now.

Ad blocking, particularly in mobile advertising, is becoming even easier for the user to do, potentially plunging your advert, your money and your presence online into oblivion. Ad blocking has grown globally by 41% in the past year alone as more users are purging their pages in favour of a clutter free viewing that is of their choosing.

SEO or SOS? Has the dust settled on Mobilegeddon or is it only just begininng?

22nd June 2015

A little over a month ago, in a move that caused something of a stir, Google rolled out its latest search algorithm update for mobile platforms. For those within the industry this seemingly major update signalled a fairly large prospective change in the way businesses may have to develop their websites.

The update marked a clear distinction as to what search results Google would or would not rank highly. Specifically: Mobile-friendly websites. Google categorically stated that if your website does not function properly on mobile devices, it won’t appear highly in mobile search results.
