1) Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Is Free. Isn’t it?

The perception of SEO is that it is a totally free way to increase traffic to your website. Although SEO may often be free in terms of direct cost the drain on resources to administer it can be huge.

To do it properly you need to undertake vast amounts of research, which then has to be applied to keep your website well optimised. Websites that are not regularly reviewed and adjusted will soon lose their search engine position/ranking.

When you consider the cost in terms of time, effort and human resources you might ask yourself “is this really worth doing in house?” For more information on outsourcing SEO contact WT Web Design today.

2) Seach Engine Optimisation: Beware Men In Black Hats

It is often said that there are two types of Search Engine Optimisation:

  • White Hat
    The White Hat approach will invest time building your site up so it ticks all the correct boxes with Search Engines and ranks well.

  • Black Hat
    The alternative might use every trick available to deceive Search Engines into ranking your site highly without providing what the user really wants.

You are probably now asking yourself “Do I really care if my SEO firm are black hat or not as long as they get the job done?” The answer to this question should be “yes” and here’s why:

Black Hat SEO specialists are in many ways similar to drug cheats in the Olympics – they achieve great success until they get found out, and then the consequences are extremely severe.

Although Black Hat SEO companies may provide you with some success in the short term, when their tricks are discovered (and they will be) like the drug cheats you will be punished.

For example, a website might lose its rank in the Google index and in some cases expelled altogether. Imagine the impact that will have on your Internet traffic and your business.
