About Sean Rasmussen
Thanks it was a great article.Good to know about two important terms in SEO.But i would like to know what do you think about Web Analytics?
Hi Sean,
I am working on learning SEO so that I can improve my site’s ranking. I think I am getting better but I still have a long way to go.
Hi Sean
I just clicked on the content optimisation link and read with fascination about advertising on Facebook. I have heard about it as there is a woman on facebook who advertises her courses, but I did not know it could be so powerful. Learning about SEO is a really huge field so how do you narrow it down (if that is possible)
Do you start with a niche and focus on attracting SEO to your blog site and work up from there?
Yes you have given great tips to get started . I also find the study of demographics to be very interesting. Thankyou.
Two SEO areas to explore as an Internet Marketer are On Page and Off Page SEO. Even though you may have utilised every trick in the book on your site for SEO, you can magnify that effect by participating and commenting in off page sites such as blogs, social networking sites, social bookmarking site, etc. Every link that you can get pointing back to your site helps with the SEO.
I hadnt thought about the potential of offpage SEO until recently as I had been working really hard on onpage and then sitting back and crossing my fingers I would get some ranking once the site had received some age. To discover that there are things I can do to promote my SEO away from my site is fantastic!
