SEO and Marketing

I had a few people who are new to seo contact me asking for a few basic seo tips. I understand that a new seo-er can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of information you can find when first getting into seo. I mean, there are 500 page books on seo that start from basics and then pretty much cover all the aspects. Not surprisingly some guy don’t quite understand some of the methods i cover on my blog.

If you are optimising “seo” you need to vary your anchor a bit. For example one link can be “seo blog“, another “seo stuff“, another “learn about seo” and so on.

Now you can read more about different ways in which you can get backlinks here on my blog.
