    SEO basics done...where now?

    Hey Robert Maybe I can offer a few insights here. Firstly - this is predominantly Local SEO so when researching how to improve your current visibility I would take this into account. Carefully consider your targeted keywords. Do you really want to rank for everything with 'cleaner' and...

    Online Citation Building Nightmare

    Outside of the obvious local listing benefits from the citations you can get from these directories we have had some good success with using these listings as a good source of inbound traffic for smaller businesses, you just have to be a little cute in how you go about it. Firstly, look at the...

    Any advice from SEO experts out there?

    Sorry, my brain is not what it once was, so... keywords in anchor text linked to domain names. So, like if someone had an EMD and a bunch of exact match anchors? Interesting stuff. Seen any other chatter about this? Certainly, this chap I am working with saw a big drop across several of his...

    Any advice from SEO experts out there?

    Well, open site explorer shows 3000+ backlinks from only 50 sites for the term 'email marketing' so I would start there. OSE won't have a lot of low quality link pages / sites as well so the real picture is likely somewhat worse. Any folks come across this article re the 17th...

    http:// - a messy string

    As ever, think about it from a users perspective. If I searched for 'yellow spangly widgets' which URL would I be more likely to click on. www.site.com/page.php?id=45&view=list&top=popular www.site.com/yellowspanglywidgets.html You may also get some better anchor text from links using...

    Panda, Penguin....Google Animals

    Hey, You could start by looking at what these updates do but in all honesty, that is not the best use of your time (it's not the best use of my time as a detail obsessed SEO but that's another story). Google publish a series of guidelines that detail what is okay, and not so okay so as...

    New site not ranking

    How about some blogging around the subject? If you can't have that big keyword from day one, which you likely can't then work around the edges and hoover up the long tail. Hittail can be useful for providing some good content ideas without breaking the bank if you are going to be doing this...

    Google webmaster links

    As Old Welsh Guy said, it's mostly academic, and monitoring how Google reports your links, much like monitoring rank is going to do nothing but blow your mind apart (whilst you could be doing something worthwhile). That said, I read an interesting post speculating on the ongoing link...

    Link Building Vs Link Earning

    Link Earning is a form of Link Building but should be the primary focus of whatever it is you are doing to promote your website. Much of the link building that is done out there is basically link placement, finding sites that are open to anyone placing a link and dropping your own link on...

    Are back links key to getting higher in google?

    Are backlinks the key to getting higher in Google? Well, that's a question with many answers. The simple one is yes, but likewise, the same answer applies to: Are backlinks the key to getting a search penalty that keeps your site in the 50+ regions. The key to ranking in Google, now and...

    Online Marketing Vs SEO

    A little of both, don't concentrate on one channel at the expense of others. If you can drive traffic to your site then often, those visitors will exchange an email for more content / information and you have longer to impress just what a hot prospect you are to them. Email, social, it's all...
