Inbound Marketing Blog

SEO used to be a lot easier to do before Google’s search algorithm became as sophisticated as it is today. Couple of keywords here, a few links there, and you were sure to start ranking for some pretty competitive terms.

All that has changed. The problem, however, is that some SEO companies and “professionals” will still practice these tactics in order to see quick results. You know the type: the ones that can “guarantee” you top rankings on Google in 3 months. While these black hat tactics may still work to some degree, the risk of being penalized or de-indexed is a far greater threat to your business than taking a little extra time to rank on Google.

No industry is untouched by the current situation with Covid-19, which means most businesses are rethinking their approach to marketing and sales. For many, this change has prompted an interest in Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. 

Affiliate websites are often described as "passive income" opportunities, but anyone who has run an affiliate site knows it's far from passive.

If you're writing content for a website and you're hoping that website will grow and attract plenty of visitors, then you understand the importance of getting that content just right. There's a lot that goes into optimizing your site for search engines and user experience, but what you write is just as important as any of those SEO and UX tactics. 

In SEO forums, blog posts, and comment sections across the web, there are mixed opinions about bad backlinks. Many times, folks recommend not worrying about backlinks, and even Google has said that most sites do not even have toxic backlinks. 

In October, Google announced one of the more exciting (or terrifying, depending on who you ask) updates in recent Search Engine history: BERT. 

Very few things are more frustrating than brainstorming blog ideas when you’re suffering from writer’s block. You just sit at your desk and stare at your desktop screen. Your mind is a total blank—it’s like you’ve forgotten how to link words together to form a coherent sentence.
