Troubleshooting a Drop in Search Engine Rankings
When your search engine rankings decline how do you figure out why? Below is a set of questions that can help you to troubleshoot whether the drop in rankings was due to a change in a search engine algorithm, or due to a change or problem with your own website.

Thinking you can see: BIF’s Share-out Boards
As you enter the Big Ideas Fest 2010 through the main hallway you’re greeted by nine metal boards on wooden pedestals covered in colored paper and magnets.

After all, why would grown ups be excited about getting and trading buttons?
