Hi All,
Continueing from the last 2 parts about SEO, here comes the final part. Make sure you read the first 2 parts before reading this final post.
As mentioned before, the algorithm used by Google is constantly changing and includes many unknown factors (most recently the load speed of a page is starting to affect ranking as well, encouraging developers to reduce the load time as much as possible). I will now list some unconventional techniques for trying to increase your site’s Google Search Engine Result page ranking or visitor number.

Hi All,
I will now continue where I left off in Part 1, where we looked at what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) actually is, we examined the differences between organic and paid search results and we looked at how to make sure the pages of your website are optimized. If you haven’t read Part 1 yet, do this first.
you think your site structure is acceptable now. So how do you get the indexing by a search engine started? The best way for this is to create a Google webmaster account (this is really easy if you already have a Gmail account) and

Hi all,
As I haven’t got around to writing about my latest skill additions, just thought I would post an article I wrote almost 2 years back for my good friend David Riley, Co founder and director of Good Lizard Media. The article was aimed at non techy people, so they would get an insight into what Search Engine Optimisation or SEO really is, the different types of SEO and what tasks it consist of. This list is by no means exclusive and I do not claim to hold the Holy Grail in SEO. There are constantly new techniques popping up and search engines such as Google adapt their ranking algorithms regularly, sometimes resulting in different aspects of your website being rewarded or penalised. Bare in mind this article was written in 2010.
I will list the article in 3 parts, just as it appeared on the Good Lizard Media blog (part 1, part 2 and part 3 on their website), as it it quite large.
Right, here we go.
A successful website is a twofold process, where step 2 always leads back to step 1.
Step 1 is to get visitors to your site, step 2 is to have that visitor requesting information or purchasing a product from your website. This leads you back to step 1; How can I get the maximum percentage of visitors to become buyers? What kind of visitor do I want to attract? Is this a relevant visitor? How can I achieve a relevant visitor?
The answer: Obtain a visitor that was either redirected from another relevant website or a visitor that found your website through a relevant search.
In this blog I will focus over the course of the coming weeks on the traffic coming from search engines, and then more precisely the traffic coming from organic Search Engine Results Pages (or SERP). I will try to shed some light onto how to easily improve your Organic Search Results Ranking, the process also known as Organic SEO. Did I lose you already? No worries, let’s just start from the top.
