This is probably going to be one of the shortest posts I ever write about search engine optimization (SE0).
Want to know the basics of SEO but confused about what is right, what isn’t and is Fred Blogs just trying to sell me something.
Well, there is no more need to guess or be afraid for that matter since Google have just published a basic guide on SEO for beginners. Even if you’re not a beginner I suggest you go take a look especially if your advice came from a third party. You never know when they might be wrong or, using clapped out old strategies - even if they did come from Google in the first place … many moons ago!
This is a snippet from the guide about why you should read it:
“Although this guide won’t tell you any secrets that’ll automatically rank your site first for queries in Google (sorry!), following the best practices outlined below will make it easier for search engines to both crawl and index your content.”
I’ve read the guide and even though I am a bit of a techie, there is just practical down to earth information that every marketer could utilise even if they don’t want to go down the full gourmet SEO route. It’s an extra hours worth of work that could bring you lots more business … for free!
Go to http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com to get a free copy of the guide.
Best,

Thanks Mel. You should have just received an email from me to with access to the videos. It’s worth the read and implementation. I wish they had done this years ago.
I like how they created a demo blog to explain in pictures. Very good.
