Let us begin by recalling briefly what SEO and PPC are.

While they are both strategies employed to direct traffic to websites, they differ in how they do it.

PPC, the abbreviation for Pay-per-click, is the type of online advertising, where an advertiser typically bids on keywords/phrases relevant to their target audience.

When Speed can become a penalizing factor... let's talk about it.

Many people won't believe it, but it's said that most of the websites out there are running powered by cheap hosting companies and it's ok... unless you are planning to have a good number of visitors.

When I started with ChkMe I was one of them.

I recently had the opportunity to Fix the Grader and PageRank Tool: are working... Great! - Big surprise - I also discovered that PageRank has Returned!

I mean, many Google's Developer and Experts said in past months (if not years) to avoid paying too much importance to PageRank.

Now, why they say something like "PageRanks is not important" and then in less of 4 months they change the PageRank Code (Hey Google!

Why SEO is important, this is what people usually ask and yes, don't worry, there is an answer. For every time I finish a website there is always an happy and satisfied client who leave the office and says me thanks but every time I stop and ask them "what does it means having a website?".

Our website is our Shop!

Common answer, isn't it?

Yes, a website is like a shop, if it's not just a personal blog of course.

I never thought and never was aiming to success. Well, success is a big word but for me it's really important.

Thanks to you all that every day visit Check My SEO (ChkMe.com) and thanks also to the core optimization of GC3pro, my not so famous CMS, since the publication of the new Check My SEO, ChkMe.com, along with YoGem.com, in one month our Free SEO Tools Home gained it's first PageRank point.

Yes, a SEO Star point appear in our badge, the first one.

More the time pass and more I see how many companies are appearing in this wild world web called Internet.

Simplicity is a key factor, of course. It's the reason why we created ChkMe.com and today we received a nice email from Jayde promoting SEO Rush. Practically SEO Rush seems to copy the ChkMe style, talking clearly and giving advices on how to fix any possible SEO issue.

Since the beginning we never thought will be easy but today we are certain that ChkMe.com is slowly becoming popular and it's all thanks to you.

We never aimed on showing too much advertisement and in fact we decided to remove all the advertisements.

Since one of my friends asked me to explain a bit better why a lot of Guru and SEO Websites are appearing on Internet, I decided to say what SEO really means.

SEO is not a magic word, you don't need a magic wand or a voodoo dool to activate it.

ChkMe.com, developed by YoGem, is a suite of free tools able to check your SEO score and reading your free SEO report, your PageRank as well site Ranking using our Free Website Grader, comparing Alexa, Google, Yahoo.

Someone asked: What about PageRank?

Don't pay attention to your PageRank. Yes, you don't need to pay attention on it, especially if your website is new.

So what to do to advertise? Stay away from people who sell optimization, voodoo dolls, don't buy books, don't buy ad-words...
