I love this video…
I hope that SEO will be correct for our websites, and that Google don t block it and put it like spam.
This video from our Friend Mr Cutt’s may be a few years old now, but it’s still bang on regarding the benefits of a good SEO Agency.
There are many ways to optimise a website, like making sure it's technically built to be search engine friendly and adopting a strong link building strategys, but the bottom line is content is king, get this right and you will 'organically' move up the search engine rankings.
Keep it white hat and never move to the dark side!
Love this video!!
Awesome video. SEO is an important tool to aid the search engines in determining what your website is all about. There's definitely nothing wrong with that but if you over optimize or create your site in such a way that it's for the sake of the search engines, that where the problem starts.
