SEO Pyramid Still Beats Google Updates

By Sheila Atwood · Comments (0)

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012

You may have heard that Google had a BIG update called Penguin. But then again you may have not because you are busy running your business. That is where I come in.

One of my jobs as a Utah Web Designer is to keep up with what is happening on the Web. Let me tell you, it keeps me busy. Especially since we make good SEO (Search Engine Optimiation) part of every website we build. This means following exactly what Google and Bing require of a web site and all their updates. How do you stack up against this SEO Checklist?

The web design forums are full of people who are complaining about how much the Penguin update has hurt them. Hmmmmmm, very interesting! Since SEO is really not that hard. Google and Bing tell us exactly what it takes to be seen by their search engines.

In other words, good old basic SEO has stood up to all the recent Google updates.

In fact our local clients jumped in the search results. Even the ones that had some pretty tough competition.

Do you want to know the SEO basics that work?

By Kathy Griffiths · Comments (0)

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

When Google says, “Content Is King”, they mean business. This is an invitation for blogging for seo. If your site has very little text content on it, a blog becomes an essential component for your seo strategy.

In the number of years I’ve been on line, Google has made many algorithm changes. One thing that never changes is…. the importance of good content they can present to their search clients.

The bottom line is… in order for the search engines to really take your website seriously, you must have plenty of good relevant content on your website whether you’re an online or a brick and mortar business. In other words, you are blogging for seo as well as keeping your customers informed.

We here are WebPress Utah often hear this same lament from our clients. “I just don’t have the time.” or “There is nothing interesting to write about in my business.”

Here are a few seo blog tips that may help you over these hurdles. Read More→
