Article Submission For SEO

Article submission can be a great way to get back links and therefore help with both search engine results and Page Rank. Usually though by posting articles on websites such as ezines, you are wasting your time.

Why submit articles?

Backlinks, also known as incoming links are seen by search engines as ‘votes’. Each ‘vote’ has a value, for example a ‘vote’ from Facebook is much more valuable than a ‘vote’ from a small, new website. These ‘votes’ also carry relevance, depending on the name of the link and what it’s linking to, amongst other factors.

1st on google

Number 1 on Google, if only?

A quick look in to search engine optimisation (SEO), what it means for a website and just how important it actually is…as well as covering some basics.

There is something called Moor’s law, feel free to Google it for those interested but generally it states that computers are getting about twice as good every two years. And it’s pretty much true, they are getting better and better but do we really need the new ones?

You may remember an advertisement for a laptop or computer around 2 years ago, without going in to too much detail let’s say it was advertised as a gaming laptop! It’s top of the range and can run anything, but you will pay for it.
