Can Small Businesses Really Afford SEO?
There is a very interesting discussion going on in a post on the search engine land site by Stoney deGeyter called Can Small Businesses Really Afford SEO?

SEO, Where To Start?
The question that I seem to get most often is “How do you get a site found on Google?” I believe that Google likes it better if they discover your site through their own efforts rather than having you submit to them. This is my own opinion, but I have seen cases where a brand […]
