I’m always looking to find articles that detail innovative ways to boost SEO and Backlinks. Sometimes, however, it’s the simple things that people tend to overlook the most. Here are a couple of great articles that talk about simple, but very important SEO techniques:

One Way to Build Backlinks

Enhance Your Search Ranking Through Your Domain Name

As I was telling a colleague of mine recently, SEO and building your business online is not only very complicated, it is also time consuming. I have several clients who spend roughly 7 hours per day, 6 days a week doing nothing but SEO and website promotion. They are both at the top of their respective search categories as a result, but the success didn’t happen overnight. It has taken them many, many months of hard work to reach their goals. If you’re a small business owner with little time or resources, it may benefit you to hire an affordable SEO management firm to help drive traffic to your business or at least provide you with counseling, tips and advice to help you begin this type of program for yourself.
