The newish corporate face of Facebook has proven that indeed there is no such thing as a free lunch. Let me ask you this: when you post on your facebook page do you feel snubbed by your thousands of followers? Feel like you are speaking to yourself? Unless you’re posting funny videos, pictures of cute kittens or Justin Bieber it seems most people can no longer see them.

As Spain’s leading internet marketing company, we at Voodoo are big spenders, and that’s official! We can reveal that we have surpassed the €1,000,000 milestone spent on Google Advertising.

It said it was in the process of unfollowing “inappropriate” accounts.”

To mark 15th Birthday at the end of September, the world’s biggest search engine Google revealed ‘Hummingbird’ a new search algorithm.

In the often confusing universe of Google Plus, giving someone else admin access to a company page is, as most G+ functions, a tad convoluted. Here’s how to do it, courtesy of Voodoo Internet Marketing.
A question we get asked regularly by clients whose facebook pages we manage at Voodoo Internet Marketing is: ‘what are the login details for my Facebook page?’
Seems like a perfectly reasonable question, but the answer is a little long-winded so I thought: ‘why not write this down for all and sundry to see and save me having to explain this each and every time’.

YouTube rocks. Search engines love videos, kids love videos, old ladies love videos.
