Yes… You’ll still have a job in 10 years.

I’ve had this article lingering in the back of my head for a few weeks and I’m not sure why I haven’t posted it yet. I’ve certainly been talking about it.
Anyway, enough jibba-jabba (Mr. T voice of course). The article describes the state of the nation with “young people” born after 1993 (dubbed in this article as the “Google Generation”) as a seemingly advanced web surfing generation, but practically not at all.
In other words, growing up amidst all of our past decade of advances may have been disadvantageous to our potential competition in 2015 when these “young’uns” grow up and start looking for jobs.

A lil’ vigilante SEO for y’all

This article on Wired’s How To column describes how one would go about “Google Bombing” a topic. It really just boils down to how you can leverage page rank contextually in order to drive to site.

The article’s premise identifies more vindictive examples of the usage of “Google Bombing” but from an SEO/SEM point of view this could prove to be very useful to those of you without budgets for said programs.
