You can learn a lot from other people!

Lots of blogsA list of 100 blogs to follow was recently posted on Leaving Work Behind, we went through the list to see if we were missing out on anything and found a lot of useful resources, it’s worth checking them out and it’s worth noting that it must have taken a lot of time to put together such an extensive list.

A little while back we posted the top blogs we read, it only contained a few so we thought we would update the list to cover those blogs we read on a regular basis. (Regular is about once a week, we also try and leave feedback when we think its relevant)  Please let us know if there are any blogs you think we should be reading that aren’t in our list.  If you’re not a regular reader of blog then do try to pick out 2 or 3 and try following them for a few weeks at least, it’s also worth adding your own feedback if you get chance.

Disclaimer: THERE IS NO MAGIC FORMULA

As with most SEO subjects there is a lot of misinformation surrounding the percentage of keywords you should include within your website text. The video below is a good, simple explanation direct from Google, in summary:

  1. No hard and fast rules when it comes to keyword percentages
  2. It can vary by site, subject and area
  3. You should mention your keyword 2 maybe 3 times, after that it is diminishing returns
  4. Repeat the keyword to much and your in danger of doing more harm than good
  5. Make sure you have good, relevant copy and add keywords in a natural way
  6. Ask someone to read your text to double check that it does sound natural

It is an update on a previous version and takes into account all of the recent changes and updates and how to get the most from them; including setting up your Webmaster account, the types of information available and integration with Google analytics. Google Webmaster takes a bit of time and effort but it is well worth adding your website. Below is a bit of information from Google including a nice little video that simplifies what Google Webmaster can do to help your business.
