4 WordPress Plug-ins for Basic SEO Productivity

In this day and age SEO is no longer just about getting on the 1st page of Google. Unless it is a navigational search query you want to make sure that your campaign is performing at optimum level as you will be competing with nine other search results. This is why it is so important to implement basic SEO practices and efficiently manage them to rank well and attract relevant clicks. Here are some SEO tools that I thoroughly recommend to improve the productivity on your WordPress site.


Website vs. Bricks and Mortar Stores

Link Assassination or Negative SEO – What can you do about it?

Penguin looks for spammy links to a website (a good indicator that someone is doing cheap and nasty SEO) and drops the Google rankings of that website as a penalty for black hat SEO practices. Negative SEO, also known by the slightly more dramatic term “Link Assassination”, involves actually purchasing large numbers of spammy links for a competitor in the hopes that Google will penalise their rankings.

Fiction #1: The more rankings the better. Fiction #2: Rankings = Business. Perhaps I should clarify here a little. The above points don’t have to be fiction. But whether or not they are depends entirely on you.


What Is A Result In SEO Terms? Part 3 – Leads

A successful SEO campaign is like a bus full of customers. But while that bus can drive customers to your store (website), what happens once they get there? Are they able to get the service they need right away? Do they have all the information they require? Is what you offer clearly laid out?


What Is A Result In SEO Terms? Part 2 – Conversions

Let’s dive straight into Part 2 by defining a couple of different types of conversions. Generally from an SEO standpoint I tend to use the word conversion to mean lead, so an email or phone call which is a direct result of the SEO work. This is when a potential customer searches a keyword, finds
