Getting people to your site is all good and well, but the real measure of your website’s design and content is whether you are able to turn the casual browser into a paying customer.

If you are currently using the internet as a marketing tool, then you already know that SEO is one of the most important weapons in your online marketing arsenal. Without it, your business will be virtually invisible to the casual internet browser. The question is, should you outsource a firm to handle your online marketing strategy or should you keep things simple and conduct your SEO business in-house? It is a common misconception that in-house SEO is the more cost-effective solution. In terms of Rands and cents this might quite frequently be the case, but once you start evaluating the situation from a return on investment standpoint, the picture begins to look a whole lot different.

Creating new, fresh content for your site on a regular basis is a must! This is the main driving power to get your pages indexed by Google regularly. Google hates sites that stagnate and have the same old content that Google’s spiders have already crawled. What is Google’s main purpose? If you think about it logically, Google and the other search engines were created to be able to supply the user with the most accurate, interesting and current information for the search query that is used in the Search Engines.

Adding new content to your site often ensures that SE spiders will know that they have to crawl and index your content regularly. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

I often have people asking me for tips on SEO. I never know what to say, because SEO focuses on a wide spectrum of areas. Would you like tips on the optimisation of meta-data, SEO link-building or perhaps keyword research? The fact of the matter is that SEO covers so many areas, and even so-called SEO experts don’t always realize just how many factors have to be taken into account.
