  • Three Alternatives To Guest Posting

    Three Alternatives To Guest Posting

    It’s funny that this topic comes in the form of a guest post, but there are many alternatives when it comes to link building that have to do with other things besides guest posting. Some SEOs (or link marketers if you like that term better) start saying that the rage of guest posting is coming to an end. This method is just sometimes being overused. And if an overuse gets obvious, it’s time to suspect a Google update that will change something about that, though I’m not sure how they will do it with guest blogging.

  • The Nuisances of Guest Bloggers

    Guest Blogging

    Blogging has become a marketing staple to some businesses. It allows them to show their expertise, drive traffic to their site and provide their audience with useful information. Some companies churn out all the blog content on their own while others also allow guest blog posts.

    Using guest bloggers is a great way to add new content and new insight onto your blog, and it’s also a great way to generate traffic from a new audience (as long as the guest blogger also shares the link to their following). (more…)

  • Is Blogging Dead?

    Is Blogging Dead?

    There’s something of a rumour going round that blogging might be dead.  “The Conversation” has moved on to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and the like.  Combined with the search engines constant algorithmic athletics, many SEO experts could be forgiven for believing that the phrase SEO “strategy” could be better defined as “stab in the dark”.  However, blogging shouldn’t be taken out and shot just yet.  For a start, most pundits who think that it might be dead believe it’s a new idea, born of the internet revolution.  But blogging has been with us since that first, tentative daub of paint on the wall of a cave back in the Stone Age.

  • SEO WordPress tips inspired by a video

    WordPress SEO

    The other day I decided to check back with WordPress TV and see what cool stuff they’ve got there. And I did that quite in the nick of time because there was a really useful video (SEO WordPress one) on the homepage of WordPress TV. The video is called “Ira Pasternack, Milan Cole, & Sara Tetreault: SEO Discussion”. I really liked the video and ran the risk of re-publishing on my blog because it is so congenial to the mission that WebDesy.com is trying to complete, which is to education in terms of using WordPress and SEO. Just like the guys in the video say, if you decided to run your site on WordPress you’ve alredy made a very good decision for your site’s SEO. 🙂 (more…)

  • 4 Practices of Top Search Engine Optimization Firms

    SEO flowchart

    If you are looking for ‘top SEO vendors,’ would you get the very best out there?  Let’s face it.  That word ‘top’ is pretty subjective.  It’s in the interest of every provider to attach that adjective to their brand and have such adjectives leveraged by others.  It’s hard to identify the best.  It depends.  As an example, one firm could do a superb job creating establishing quality links, while another is phenomenal at social media.  Both help search optimization.  Who wins out, both parties? Perhaps it’s better to focus on some things quality providers have in common.  Consider these details during your quest to find the ‘top’ SEO agencies.
