This morning we had an unexpected outage of Analytics SEO. By the time I'd received the "system down" text message, done a quick ping and ssh test to the main web server, and got on the phone to our hosting provider, they had already got on the case, having been alerted by their own internal monitoring systems.

How can we make the SEO Process more efficient?

A few years ago we built a pay-per-click search engine for a larger publisher - it was a lot of fun. We sold to a few (thousand) advertisers, made a few deals some major search engines (you know the type) and soon butchers, bakers and candlestick makers (OK, they were mostly plumbers and builders) were throwing their tools into the air in celebration of all the new leads they were getting to their websites. Everyone was happy and there was much rejoicing.
