There have been some really good basic questions from beginners about having a blog page on their website or blogging elsewhere in an attempt to drum up web traffic to their business’ home page. I have addressed a few of them here. For those who have [...] http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/a-brief-case-study-on-the-seo-importance-of-title-tags/ http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/a-brief-case-study-on-the-seo-importance-of-title-tags/#comments Thu, 14 May 2009 18:44:17 +0000 Jeremy http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/?p=207 http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/a-brief-case-study-on-the-seo-importance-of-title-tags/feed/ 9 I don’t know many SEO’s who disagree about the importance of title tags. But we all know it’s a number of different factors, both internal and external, which produce top (Google) rankings.  However, I have a brand new site with virtually ZERO content and not a single back link.  This site is currently ranked #1 [...] http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/analytics-is-yours-working-like-you-think-it-is/ http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/analytics-is-yours-working-like-you-think-it-is/#comments Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:31:54 +0000 Aaron http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/?p=136 http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/analytics-is-yours-working-like-you-think-it-is/feed/ 0 Google Analytics isn’t a new concept. As webmasters and SEOs we use analytics to track information coming to our site which helps us better determine ROI, bounce rates, leads, and losses. Analytics is a vital part of the SEO process. But sometimes it gets hard to determine if we are tracking the right information?

These bad boys greatly increase traffic and click through, helping the sites that have them to dominate the search results. Peep it out for yourself: Pretty nice right?

There are many causes of duplicate content, and there are also many strategies for dealing with it. Sometimes it’s something as simple as the “www” and [...] http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/be-the-tortoise-not-the-hare/ http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/be-the-tortoise-not-the-hare/#comments Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:37:20 +0000 Christine http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/?p=10 http://www.customermagnetism.com/seoblog/internal-optimization/be-the-tortoise-not-the-hare/feed/ 0 We’re addicted to fast in this country — fast food, fast cars, and fast results. However, when it comes to search engine optimization, real results don’t happen fast. This is one of the first things your search engine optimization provider should speak to you about.
