Smashing Magazine on the Web - More powerful than CA


Well for nearly 3 years, I thought we kept this quiet. Smashing Magazine after all was the epicenter of the new digital art movement. It is informing, exciting and it shares it's complete knowledge with you.

Smashing Magazine is going to be as important as Rolling Stone and Emigre together. We'll not that we did a great job keeping this gigantic living archive a secret - it's morphing into a large "all encompassingly," arts gallery of the world. Enjoy. But we believe it can take upwards of a year to completely read and visit all the links on this website.

SEO and Geographic Searches: Owning keywords










Recently while working on some SEO for a local providence jeweler, we also tested our "www.hotwireindustries.com," for certain keywords. We tested "website design Providence," and our position was 88th. Well, we called a meeting of the SEO group and set out to see how fast we could rise to "page 1 - natural selection. We changed the title tag on the index page to include our working location. While updating our keywords we stumbled upon a new way to geographically target web searches and we added a new metatag classification to add even more keywords.

Currently we rank on page one - or natural or free - for the keyword "website design providence." We are fairly confident this keyword arrangement is not in high daily demand - but with a little work, you can own key business terms geographically or near your location with a Hotwire SEO Tune up!
