Dear Google: pagead2.googlesyndication.com

Dear Google,

First of all, I would like to start off with letting you know that I love your search engine. I know it, I use it, and it’s a handy little tool when I need to find things on the internet. However, I don’t feel its okay for your ad sense advertisements to freeze my browser when visiting websites.

I started experiencing my browser freezing on me last night on my home laptop computer. I was visiting a website that was attempting to transfer through pagead2.googlesyndication.com. It happened again today at work causing another frozen browser from a different website trying to display pagead2.googlesyndication.com. Now I understand you make money off these advertisements, but when they lag and freeze browsers, you are both causing havoc for the company displaying the ad’s, as well as losing them valuable visitors.

Now, I know you are probably not trying to cause these problems, but before any updates that you may be doing to pagead2.googlesyndication.com, you may want to make sure that it doesn’t freeze browsers.

Sincerely,

JellyMeli

SEO takes one for the team

How much of a pain in the ass is it when a new online social network comes on board? Yes, as SEO experts we must get on board and take one for the team, sign up, and figure out what it’s all about. Does it have a benefit for me? Does it have a benefit for clients? How much of my time am I going to have to dedicate to this new social network? Is it going to take off? A million questions wonder through you head and the angel on your shoulder shouts “Yes! More opportunity to be known and seen online!” while your devil stammers “No! Not another one. When will the madness stop?”

Aside from social media networks being one of the top ways we can achieve an online presence, we must stay on top and keep up with every network out there. Not only for ourselves, but now for our clients as well. Online marketing is no longer just link buys and a bit of content massaging. Oh no, its much more than the headers, metas, and anchor text. Now we must digg, sphinn, twitter, and even be marketing gooruze if we want to make it in the SEO world. The more the merrier.  We must suck it up, get linkedin, hold on tight to our ankles, and take one for the team.

Companies now offer online branding packages that not only get you top rankings, but also an online presence . SEO package pricing ranges from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands per month with custom built plans that offer solutions for all types of industry sizes.
