You Get Cheap if You Pay Cheap

You Get Cheap if You Pay Cheap

Jul 10, 2013 | SEO

Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is necessary if you want to attract the attention of customers and boost your traffic. Day in and day out you will always hear people commenting that they can get SEO for just €100 a month or maybe even less. If you have been in the industry for a long time I am certain that you are aware of firms and people outsourcing their SEO and linkbuilding. Most people believe that they are getting a deal but the truth is they are not saving any money at all. If you pay cheap for SEO, you have to be prepared and you have to resign yourself to the fact that you will only be getting poor SEO. You get what you pay for, after all. No such thing as cheap What everyone should remember is there is no such thing as cheap. You will hopefully already have learned that if you have been in the business for a long time. If you have been outsourcing your SEO needs but have not been getting the results promised, you should walk away.  You will only be spending more money having to pass the work to someone else and having to redo it. For those of you who have not realised this, it will cost you more in the long run. There is a huge difference with being smart and being a tightwad. It is better to spend more money on quality SEO than have to face a lot of headaches with a cheap one. Freelancers We are not saying these things to imply that freelancers are not...
Should You Worry about Google Panda and Penguin?

Should You Worry about Google Panda and Penguin?

Jul 8, 2013 | Google Updates

All this talk about updates in Google has sent many entrepreneurs using the internet running scared. With the many changes, they no longer know how to keep up. With all the talk surrounding updates, they are having a hard time determining fact from fiction. Everyone is worried because everyone is affected, from those who implement strategies to those who provide optimisation services to clients. Google don’t share their SEO secrets so it can be quite confusing figuring out where to begin. If you are one of the many who have been affected by the updates and have seen your ranking sliding down, as well as your audience size getting small, it is time for a change in the right direction. Why the changes? Many people are wondering why Google had to make changes and why they had to release updates. In order for Google to remain the top search engine today they must make sure that there is an excellent user experience.  They want to give users nothing but the most reliable and relevant information. They do not want spam or low quality content. So, how can you rank high despite all the changes? How can you achieve success? Think outside the box If a subject has been approached in quite the same way many times, it loses its appeal and frankly it becomes too boring. Although there are topics which have been discussed a hundred times, you can still put a fresh spin on it by approaching it from another angle. Always be creative and whenever possible put nothing out but fresh content. Doing so will give you an...

Think Link Building will Help You? Think Again

Jul 8, 2013 | Link Building

There has been so much talk about SEO fading out and finally dying. The truth is SEO is still here and it will stay. However, it is no longer practiced as people used to. There are many changes which must be taken into account if you want your SEO efforts to be rewarded well. Google, arguably the best and most popular search engine today has implemented a lot of changes which will affect SEO as we know and practice it. The changes in search engines are meant to make things a lot easier for users. This is why old habits have to go and new ones have to be practiced. Link building is one of the many things which everyone used years before but it seems that it is no longer helpful today. Link building Although link building is still an important aspect of SEO, its relationship to other strategies has changed dramatically. We tend to cling to what is familiar and we tend to do things the way we always used to. This may be a good thing but there are times when this just won’t do. SEO is all about learning and adapting to changes. One bad habit which everyone seems to be guilty of is the focus on links. It seems that everyone has this assumption that when they focus on links, they will be able to build more quality links and when they have quality links they do not have to worry much about content, technical information and site architecture. This is not the case and this could not be farther from the truth. Having...

They optimise every post, page, Tweet, backlink and video.

Organic SEO Success The key towards achieving organic SEO success is the knowledge of search engines and how they work. Google, the leading search engine regularly updates their algorithms and this can lead to confusion and frustration at times. It is a must to be regularly updated about changes so that you can make the necessary adjustments and plan accordingly. This is important in developing a sound SEO strategy. A few strategies which are worth considering are: Be active in the media. News and updates just do not fall on your lap always. Sometimes you have to seek them out so if you want to keep abreast of what is happening, you should make your presence known and stay active in the media.
