What's the SEO secret?


Many dodgy SEO 'companies' claim to know secrets ways to get good rankings, but not even Google can guarantee specific placements, so that should be a clear sign that they're talking nonsense. Wild claims that seem to good to be true: are - and should be filed in the same place as any other spam or con artists.

  • Focus on highly efficient keywords
  • Provide lots of good quality content
  • Use a high quality fast server to host your website
  • Get lots of other trustworthy sites to link to your website
  • Have a keyword rich domain name
