Fame is a deceptive beast. The allure of money, popularity and renown cannot be beat. Writing fills this aching gap with pages upon pages of well-constructed content that will hopefully live forever in the minds of your audience. SEO copywriting, unlike above-the-line copywriting, may not rocket my name into a glittering pantheon of stardom, but it will elevate any standard website, causing it to climb up the search engine rankings faster than my friend would climb up an oak tree to avoid the police. And like a drunken miscreant, this process takes times. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Imagine a world where there was no order; a world where everything goes and nothing needs any type of organisation. Like a University class list filled with names in non-alphabetical order, it would be chaos! Think of duplicate street names in one suburban area, think of houses all constructed in the exact same manner, how would you at the end of the day pick up that special package you got for a bargain deal through a classified ads bulletin? This is what Cyberlife would have been like without search engines. Through their rules and regulations, they ensure that all website owners implement Search Engine Optimisation practices on their sites to make the web a much better place to roam through.

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. Search engines change their algorithms often, new rules are constantly formulated and to keep up you will need the resources and time to find, understand and implement the necessary changes to keep your website updated and viable.

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. In truth there is no specific level of importance in SEO. While link building is an important factor, so is correct keyword research and keyword placement, as is optimizing meta-data description tags. Performing these tasks may take different lengths of time, but this doesn’t mean that since one SEO task takes longer than another that it is more important. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

I’m copywriter, and it means the world to me. Copywriting promotes an idea; it generates interest in the topic of my choice. Yet, I do not write for magazines and my work will never be displayed on a billboard high above Long Street. I am an SEO copywriter and my work targets both the casual browser and the search engines. It has to be well-written, correctly structured, typo-free and keyword rich. I began with little knowledge of the realm, with only my innate writing ability and a desire to learn guiding me through my first months of copywriting. This however, was not enough for my job.
