7 Days to Better Your SEO | Day 7: Website Submission

I am going to end my 7 part series to a better SEO with site submission. It a simple concept, yes, but one that is often overlooked.

Move over Netbooks…here come the CULV’s

Most technology-aware consumers have heard of “netbooks”… the ultra-light, ultra-small, and ultra-cheap laptops that have been on the market for some time now.

7 Days to Better Your SEO | Day 4: Good Content

When a REALTOR needs to write content two important factors should immediately come to mind. Community and real estate advise. The former will build good local content and the latter will reinforce your role as a professional.

You might have heard the phrase “Content King” when talking about writing good content. If your site is the most authoritative site for its subject matter, you will not only draw interested buyers but in all likelihood rank well in the search engines. I wrote a similar post a few months back “Writing Good Content” where I focused on structure. Today I am going to take that a bit further and talk about conceptual ideas when thinking about writing your content.
