We work on the 17th floor of a building and we heard the 18th floor was working on some recarpeting I think. A lot of heavy work that we can hear from downstairs, some drilling and other things that either sound like some slamming in a wresting match or someone playing bowling upstairs. And then suddenly this happens at Megan’s desk: (more…)

Bad Office Usability Day!
November 5th, 2009 by Benj ArriolaCatfish is Back! What’s new in SEO for 2010
October 14th, 2009 by Ray "Catfish" ComstockHello everyone. Really sorry I have been gone from the blog for so long. The last four months have been absolutely crazy around here and to be honest I have been a little overwhelmed keeping up with everything that has been going on. The good news is that the chaos is a direct result of all the increased business that BusinessOnLine has gotten this year and the incredible growth that is happening around the company. We have doubled our SEO team this year and we are getting ready to start hiring SEO analysts again here in San Diego! Look for those job listings to be available soon in the careers section of the site. Additionally, we have been hard at work growing our process based on all the new advancements in search that have happened (more…)
Hidden Content/Cloaking – Any day can be April Fool’s Day
April 1st, 2009 by Benj ArriolaThe Internet goes wild on April Fool’s day. This year, you may have noticed some already from Google’s CADIE, YouTube’s mirror image and the one I liked was Reddit’s pages were redesigned on various parts of their site that look like Digg, Fark, Slashdot and maybe more.
Here at BusinessOnLine, as mentioned in our last years April Fool’s Day blog post, we work hard and we play hard. For some reason, everyone seemed so busy with client projects that no well coordinated prank was executed this day of the pranks in 2009.
But since we do play hard aside from work hard, any day here can be like April Fool’s day. An earlier prank happened on March 4, 2009. (more…)
Online Marketing Summit (OMS) 2009 Conference Recap
February 11th, 2009 by Ray "Catfish" ComstockWell now that I have almost caught up with the work I missed from being at the 2009 Online Marketing Summit, I have to say, what a fun time! If you missed my presentation on Long Tail Keyword Optimization, Kate Fleming did a wonderful job of summarizing the main points of the presentation. Additionally there were a lot of other great presentors and presentations which made this conference the best one ever in my estimation. Thanks again to Aaron Kahlow and his whole staff of tireless workers for making it such a success. And who can forget the free Jamba Juice!
For my personally, the opportunity to perform and sing in my acoustic project for the first time ever in front of the 100+ people at the Thursday evening cocktail hour was (more…)
Work Hard and Play Hard at BusinessOnLine – Celebrating Another Great Year
January 20th, 2009 by Ray "Catfish" ComstockI have to admit, I love my job. Not only am I one of the privileged few who get to work in this crazy and fun industry called SEO, but I get to do it with some amazing people who know how to work hard and know how to play hard
We celebrated another successful year on Friday with a “Day of Surprises”. And certainly the biggest surprise was not the double decker bus that picked us up in front of the office, but rather the Tequila tasting that shortly followed the bus ride. I have to say, big kudos to Trevor for one of the best ideas for a work function ever. And who knew there was so much to know about Tequila, and that (more…)

Going to do an In-house SEO Training Course For a Content Team Today
July 15th, 2008 by Ray "Catfish" ComstockI am going to visit one of our local clients today to do an SEO training course for their content team. It’s really a good idea for an business to augment their SEO campaign with some in house training for all Web associates. The thing is, SEO affects every facet of your Web site and often times, your Web strategy. So when you align all stakeholders in a common vision as it relates to SEO, you significantly increase your chances for success.
Content writers without SEO experience, often write with too many assumptions that the audience is familiar with their content, industry jargon, etc. So its a good game plan (more…)

April Fools Day Strikes Again – The Tin Foil Treatment
April 1st, 2008 by Ray "Catfish" ComstockMerry Chirstmas
December 24th, 2007 by Ray "Catfish" ComstockMerry Christmas. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, then I wish you a very happy holiday season. I’ll be blogging about the Top 5 intersections of SEO and Usability after Christmas. But today I am staring at 200 pages of my client’s site that need work. So, I am gonna go do that today instead of blog..lol. Be safe today and tomorrow! Tonight, I recommend staying inside, getting some hot chocolate and watching my San Diego Chargers DESTROY the Broncos on national TV! It’s a perfect family activity, unless you’re from Denver. Have a great holiday.
