The Two Major Factors of SEO You Must Master To Get Found
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, has two major factors which govern your success, or ultimately, your failure. Want your site to succeed? You need to master both.
SEO On Page Factors
The first major factor is really the simplest to master. But first, you need to know what those creepy little *spiders* look for when they come and *crawl* your site. Oh wait.. I didn’t tell you about the spiders?
Spiders (bots, robots, crawlers) are small programs that …
SEO Is A Process
In 2009, the population at large is connected via cell phone, iPod, PDA’s and personal computers. At any given moment, a digital device is close at hand to most of us. The Internet is home to more than a billion surfers daily.

People say “I’ll just Google it“, and everyone knows what they mean. More importantly, everyone knows how to Google something. Well, okay… not your 2 year old niece or your 108 year old grandmothers, but pretty much everyone else.
SEO Makeover: Case Study Winners

And The Winners Are…

If You Build It, They Will Come…Not!
For the next 4 days, I am opening up my case study to worthy Wordpress bloggers in a variety of niches.
If you want to be a part of the case study, and get your blog optimized by me, for free, then submit your details and let’s talk. I am only taking on 5 new blogs. Not everyone that wants to join in, can; there just isn’t enough time to effectively handle more than 5 right now.
So, pop in and leave me a comment about why I should consider you…
Reciprocity and SEO

Most folks would define SEO (or search engine optimization) as the science or ability to optimize your site or blog for the search engines. That gets you visitors, right?
When the search engines can find you, typically, everyone else can. But is there another way? Do we have to rely on the giant search engines like Google, MSN or Yahoo to send visitors to our sites?
Or do we?
Case Study: 200% Traffic Increase with Plugins
I have seen some pretty amazing results on some of my blogs as a result of some new plugins and a few SEO tweaks to the theme.
