The Gutenberg visual editor: an update
So, we wrote of the “next big thing” in webpage development, the Gutenberg visual editor, a couple weeks ago. We’re pretty excited about this WordPress-led project that will greatly increase the capabilities of WordPress’s backend. We were so excited, in fact, we forgot to talk to each other (literally).

How important is keyword density in SEO?
Perhaps there is no better way to describe keyword density in SEO than this story: You’re sitting at your computer with the browser open thinking of your next move when navigating the internet. Your brain triggers an urge that mobilizes your next action and it’s to search for something online. So, you naturally type in these letters: G-O-O-G-L-E.

From 2003 until 2016, a popular show known as MythBusters ran on TV. The show focused on hosts Jamie and Adam as they sought to demystify the world’s leading legends.

What’s new in the Google AdWords Report Editor
If digital marketing were a tool box, it could be seen that Google AdWords is the box itself. With this in mind, Google AdWords Report Editor represents the hinges and drawers separating each vital but specific tool. One is able to look into the box and see what tool should be used, what tool should be replaced or what tool has rusted out and is destined for the trash can. Continue reading »
Don’t have a Secure Sockets Layer? It could impact your search engine optimization.
Google is going to start warning searchers of the impending doom of pages that do not have a Secure Sockets Layer. WordPress Tavern reports that come October 2017, pages of this nature could garner a “NOT SECURE” message if they have forms that require credit card information, passwords or the like.
