Hard to believe that 5 years ago this month I began training students on the best tips, tactics and techniques for achieving top ranking in the search engines. Since then hundreds of students have come through my class room and have gone on to great success for their businesses or that of their clients.
To celebrate, I’m offering a very special 5th Anniversary promotion. All the details can be learned by checking out our latest press release.
Thanks for all the wonderful support over the last five years… can’t wait to see what the next five hold.

Google has officially released their asynchronous tracking tag, and are encouraging webmasters to upgrade their sites to use it. The new tag operates “off to the side” of the regular calls to your server for your web page and does not weigh down your sites load speeds. Since Google recently said they are looking at site load speed as a ranking factor, this new tag could be a blessing to some sites.
According to Google, the new tag “takes advantage of browser support for asynchronous JavaScript to enhance the speed in which the tracking code is loaded”.
Using the new tag also enables you to “place the Analytics snippet higher in the page without delaying subsequent content from rendering”. In other words, you will speed up your site as your page no longer has to wait for Google to access your analytics. Pretty Sweet!
Here are a few more links for you to get you started moving to the new tag.
Get to it people.
