SEO RULES-THERE ARE NO RULES.
By, Anthony Johnson (CIM)
My name is Anthony
I’m going to translate the SEO (blind you with science) language for you.
Everywhere you look there is an SEO company/person telling you the secrets of Google listings and how to get you site in the top ten.
I’m going to tell you the small print under these claims and maybe (if I get enough interest in this blog)
Actually advise you with no strings and no small print how to try and do it.
I have written this as I have worked hard over the past ten years to learn and do a job in this industry successfully, I am now getting a tad fed up with people who have been in it for 15 minutes read a forum for 10min then think they are a SEO. Most of the advice you read is very out of date and not even relevant anymore, you also need to be wary of the 15 min SEO as they could put you out of business with 1 small piece of advise and will not have indemnity insurance to cover this!!
Lets start with the first 3 useless bits of Seo freely given and supposedly secret rules, which can be found on almost every SEO forum or blog from the year 2000 just rewritten 50.000 times to suit the 15min SEO.
“You need to optimise your page ”
Oh yes that old vague chestnut, while the phrase is correct what does it mean? It bears no meaning or solution to your SEO problem if you’re a novice hence this is called blinding with science to a novice and pot luck to a DIY.
Even if you are a competent DIY SEO then it can lead you down a garden path of trial and error till you find out that it not quite a simple as knowing this rule, but being able to implement it and evolve it in to what each individual site needs and which niche it comes in.
Over my next few blogs I will break it all down into meaning and explain exactly what this is and how to either do it yourself or a least understand the theory so you can have a webmaster to implement the changes for you.
Summary, If you are passionate about something and you design a website the same way, you will have no problem covering the above yourself just by writing ideas about it, A good SEO should then help you with guidance and programming but not changes to what you really want, otherwise this then makes your site the same as all the other that’s have been SEO’ed as they have been hypnotised into these Stupid rules!!
More to come.
