I look at Website Grader from HubSpot now and again to see how it grades Oshyn’s website following changes. The info has been very insightful. But for some reason the Grader tool does not always find our blog and penalizes us (thus making it hard to know if it thinks our site has improved overall). [...]


Why aren’t marketers hollering about decapitated Content Management Systems (CMS)? Are they insane? Or are they just not “in the know”? Search Drives Web To paraphrase Gary Vaynerchuk, “There’s this great new company, you might have heard of called Google.” Okay, sarcasm aside, many people use “search” or a “search engine” even to go to [...]
