Overnight the online florist disappeared from Google’s search results for all their major search terms. With all this taking place just a couple of weeks before Mothering Sunday, it was expected to be a very costly blunder, but now, just a fortnight on from their initial disappearance, Interflora is back at the top of the rankings. So the question everyone is asking is: how has Interflora pulled off this comeback?

If you actually want people to see your website, you need to make sure it’s optimised so it appears high in the search results. However, you also need to make sure the strategies your SEO company use are ethical and reliable. Interflora has become the latest big name company to get hit with a penalty from Google for breaking its rules. The timing couldn’t be worse for the online florist, with Mother’s Day right around the corner.

Smartphones are everywhere and soon the desktop won’t be the primary email device.
ReturnPath collected around a billion pieces of data in their research so their numbers are sound and the conclusion is Email marketers need to pay attention to smartphones.

It seems the folks at Google are finally getting around to doing all the things they said they’d do. We’ve been telling customers for years that keywords in domain names won’t be as important. Now our predictions are finally coming true.
