General SEO

Welcome to the General SEO Category page!

What is unique about the SEO industry is that things tend to change and evolve very quickly, staying on top of things as they change is key to surviving in the dog eat dog world of search. As things change there is always a big stir among the SEO community and many great posts will start popping up giving their take on what is happening. This is a great thing because eventually it gets figured out, so all these blog posts are almost a giant SEO brainstorm while trying to discover what people are currently seeing and exactly why it is happening. We plan on also blogging about trends we may see, as well as many other things that are of interest to anyone into learning about general SEO knowledge that many folks may not know.
