Are you high? Probably not. I’m referring to your prices, and in fact they are probably not high enough. Think about it: Do all of your clients think you are the world’s greatest? Great. Do they all but throw their adorable Scooby Doo checks at you with a smile? If so, you’re doing it wrong….

Octobeard is OVER! The final results are in, but it looks like someone has been holding out on us and if this was a contest (and it wasn’t), we’d have to get the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency involved. Jason Jason definitely had the most beard-like beard around: no weird bare patches that are common for part time beard wearers…

Your logo is not your brand. Your slogan is not your brand. Your packaging is not your brand. You are not your brand. Anybody who has ever tried to peddle their wares in the last hundred years has heard and read dozens of little axioms about strengthening their brand. “You gotta build your brand.” “You…

As we get closer to November (Movember?), we totally forgot that we had been excluding an important member of the 13GNE team from our not-a-contest of beard growing. Granted, as a Canine-American, he’s had plenty of beard growing experience, but it was no reason to overlook Cisco’s participation in our office shenanigans. Sorry buddy. Jason…

Another beard growing week has passed and we thought we’d give you an update on 13GNE’s Octobeard progress. One good thing to note is that we haven’t seemed to scare away any clients (yet).

What can 13 Guys do? Grow beards, that’s what! At the end of last month, we decided to focus more on client work and less on personal hygiene and Octobeard was born. We’re one week in and we thought we’d show you the results so far. Jason Jason pretty much looked this way about 15 minutes after…

We are proud to have made the first official addition to our team of Eds. Amanda Slansky, our Account Manager, is a transplant from her hometown of Knoxville, TN. Leaving the mountain air for beachy breezes, she began nurturing her inner geekdom in 2010, working for a local SEO company. She has since honed her…

“Yeah, yeah, yeah… we’re the good guys, don’t be evil, yadda, yadda, yadda. We get it. Now let’s get down to brass tacks; how do I optimize my website for search engines?” Sorry but we’re not quite there yet. Almost, but not quite. And if you’re in that big of a rush, you’re in the…

It’s easy to ignore any distinction between hats and their colors. Black Hat SEO isn’t a crime, after all. It simply ignores a code of conduct that was created by some mega-corporation, and that you never agreed to in the first place. Besides, it’s not like you’re stealing from Google, or taking anything away from…
