I blog a lot. I spend at least 1 hour every day either blogging or thinking about what I’m going to blog about. Usually this is done a 6 am as I wake up early and I’m more creative during the first hours of the day. This does not mean I define myself as a [...]
I haven’t really been able to find the origin of the quote “It’s never crowded in the extra mile” but some time spent on Google at least indicates that it comes from Wayne Dyer, Self-help author from Detroit. I do know the truths of it though and it’s more spot on in SEO than anywhere [...]
In SEO it’s always possible to go for faster and better results by increasing the risk. Some will tell you that SEO is always a marathon and should be treated like that.

The major problem with Internet is that people making more noise are heard more than those staying silent. People that talk a lot will be listened to more than those that don’t. It might seem obvious and harmless but it is a real problem. It’s very easy to think that the web is a meritocracy, [...]

What better day to announce the start of a new project than on Friday the 13th. As of today it’s 100% official that I’m going to spend my time working with my own company. I still have love for Pokerlistings and I’ll be involved in the SEO there in the future as well but the [...]
When I started the first semester studying Engineering Physics at Uppsala University there were 3 girls and 87 guys starting together with me. When Christian Rudolf published his list of accomplished SEO’s in Sweden he got the question “Where are the girls” due to similar stats as from my studies. I’m going to ask the [...]
iAcquire were doing well up until the point when Google decided to make an example out of them and all of a sudden they were doing really bad. This is not the first time, back in the days BMW got kicked out for some really spammy stuff but at least they were doing it to [...]
