I thought I might write a bit more about keywords to explain a bit more about the theory of how to pick the right ones.

There are plenty of tools that can help you pick keywords like market samuri, seomoz and otheres. However these are pay for tools and so I'm going to ignore them. You don't need them - even though lots of people will tell you you do.

There are two tools that you do need. Traffic Travis and Google Ad words. Both are free although you need to give...

Today I thought that I'd list some of the backlink sources I've found to be effective. By effective I mean that the link gets found reasonably quickly by Google and that the link is then indexed and shows up in the Webmasters tools for the site AND importantly stays there for a while.

I suspect for people that do backlinking for a living there is nothing too exciting here but if you're just starting out then this is a good place to start.

First of it's worth saying that if you want your site to rank then you need to have backlinks going to it. Perhaps that's kind of an obvious thing...

So today I finally signed up for a trial of SEOMoz. Having signed up I'm not quite sure what I hope to achieve.

Like all the things I sign up for I'm trying th efree version first. Not because I object to paying but because I don't want to fork out $99 a month and get some rubbish.

So far I've set my site up and done some other stuff. I can't say I'm that impressed though. Sure the systems tell you about your site and your competitors data but so far I've not found...
