Automatically opt in search advertisers to native banner ads?

Automatically opt in search advertisers to native banner ads? Not cool Bing. Not even Google is that sneaky. Got to love the fortitude of Bing though.

Siloing Your Site

In my opinion, “siloing” or targeting long tail keywords is the last big oppurtunity in SEO. Yet most people that do SEO are not doing it. Probably because it’s time consuming and hard work.
