SEO logo creation can be a daunting task if you do it wrong. I finally made up my mind to have a logo created for my site (WebDesy.com), because the one that I had before was really lame. I just wanna share my experience, because I spent a whole lot of time investigating how to do it right. What’s really cool is that once I got a really professionally looking logo, I started getting more customers for my SEO services (content promotion and guest blogging). I guess it’s because if you have a decent logo your whole site starts looking in a totally different way. So, I highly encourage having a logo created for your site rather than making one on you own.

This is a guest post by Andrew Handley.
While content marketing is on everyone’s mouth lately, it’s usually associated with infographics, viral blog posts and videos – but there’s a whole other dimension of content marketing that doesn’t necessarily have much to do with the website of the business that’s being promoted.

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. In fact, sometimes guest posting is just not a viable option at all. This is because of a few main reasons.

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.
