    Searching to get to the top of google

    Interesting article in the Business section of the Sunday Times, which highlighted the fact that firms are investing more in their search engine optimisation rather than on google adwords.

    Costs are increasing rapidly on the pay-per-click advertising and highly sort after key word phrases are fast becoming out of many businesses’ reach.  So it comes to no surprise, really, that big businesses are spending more money than ever bringing in seo expertise.

    What does this mean to those of you without the big corporate budgets?  Well, you don’t need to spend mega bucks to get your website listed on top of google. But you do need to spend some time and researching in to how you can do it. 

    A lot of SEO work is common sense. If you know how the search engines work it certainly helps, but don’t lose sight of the fact that is the human beings that will stick around and become your paying customers – not the search engines.

    If there is only SEO thing that you do, then write compelling content for your website which includes your focused key phrases.  For more information about how to make SEO easy, then check out the CanDoCanDo SEO Made Easy audio recording on offer.
