This SEO Stuff Works

Hello,

Proof, if proof were needed, that SEO really works was the page one listing I got for this blog, thanks to the previous post. Within hours, if you'd Googled 'Lucid SEO', you'd have seen RoyEveritt.com at number five.

I've always said that blogs are by far the easiest sites to optimise, and when you pay some more informed attention to key words and related words and phrases, it's even easier. Of course, I wouldn't have done so well if I hadn't paid attention to David Congreave's report, Lucid SEO on Trial.

Google loves Blogger blogs, and it loves fresh, readable and relevant comment. As long as you can string some reasonably intelligent sentences between the keywords, it's got to be the easiest way to grab a front page place!

PS. The labels help, too, so always have the keywords in there as well.

Proving SEO is Easy...

...When You Know How!

Hello again,

Recently, I've been asked by a few people to help them get more traffic to their websites, and I've come up with a few tailor-made recommendations for how we can do this.

Most people want quick results and don't have the time to do much work themselves, so I often recommend buying targeted traffic, using PPC. What I tend NOT to recommend is spending too much time on Search Engine Optimisation, because it's not usually so quick and it's something of a 'black art'.

David Congreave would beg to differ, I think, and he's convinced me that SEO is something we should always consider for every website we have a hand in.

To prove his point, David has published a free report 'Lucid SEO on Trial', detailing his campaign to win the SEO ranking contest for the recent Focus Marketing Seminar in London. And win it he did, handsomely, despite being banned by Google almost as soon as he'd started!

The report gives you a very good overview of how Mr Congreave's Lucid SEO system works, and it's worth grabbing, just for that. Plus, he nails a few misconceptions about optimisation (and he helped me modify my recommendations) with this well-written report.

I met David again at the Focus Seminar, and he was looking pretty pleased with himself, as well he might - he even beat the official Focus Marketing Seminars website on almost every major search engine - including Google.

Oh, here's Lucid SEO itself: http://www.lucid-seo.com/?rid=1713

Congratulations, David Congreave and Lucid SEO, and congratulations to you if you take a few of David's optimisation tips and transform your website's rankings.

So Much to Choose From...

... and so little time!

Hello again,

I'm going to assume, for the sake of argument, that we each have just one lifetime.

I'll also take it as read that you're having as much trouble cramming everything into yours as I am squeezing it all into mine.

And that you'd like your life to be fulfilled and successful, financially secure and interesting. Well, that about sums up my ambitions, anyway.

But there is so much to do, so much to read and listen to and watch, so much to learn and just a finite amount of time. We have to make choices. Specifically, we have to make decisions about what will move us towards our goals and what will just distract us.

So I'm pleased to be able to point you towards a nifty little decision-making tool that could save you hour upon hour of wasted time and effort and speed you towards your goals, whatever they may be. It's free, takes just moments to apply and fills one side of a piece of paper when you print it out.

It's been created by David Congreave (Lucid SEO, The Nettle, Networking Nightmares...), and you'll find it on his website, right here: http://www.thenettle.com/HypeProtector/

Hype Protector, eh? Cool name.

David knows a thing or two about making wise choices. He's made plenty already, although I'm not the only one who's told him he could have chosen to charge for this!

Meanwhile, do you ever get the impression that the Internet has been hijacked? Well now you can take the Internet back, right here.
