Scott Offord, Director of Internet Marketing at Orion Group, cuts through the confusion once and for all. The Myth There has been a lot of misunderstanding around the topic of dedicated IP addresses for SEO.

These websites—and I use that term loosely—are often bereft of content and anything remotely resembling contemporary design. In this article, I’ll make the argument that business owners need to stop thinking about websites. Instead, […]

Meet Michael Martin, the developer behind ProBlogDesign.com.
