Website SEO Workshop - Doing It The Right Way

Why Attend
Most websites fail. In some industries that relates to millions upon
millions of failed websites, which relates to billions of wasted Rands. This
is a fact, but is it a mystery? Not at all.

The reality is that not every single website on the internet can be a 100%
complete success. By its very nature the internet does not allow for that.
The key therefore is to be that much better than 99% of your opposition.
How? By giving your website the CORRECT attention that it deserves.

Would you delegate the marketing of your brick and mortar business to your
IT company? Would you give your receptionist carte blanche to run your
business? Would you stock your shop and then never open the doors?

The answer to all of these questions has to be a resounding NO ..... yet
this is exactly what businesses do with their websites ... and then complain
that it brings them no new business.

Our website brings in 70% of our total new business! - Your website can do
the same for you.

This course tells you how. More than this, it SHOWS you how and by the end

Off-Page Search Engine Optimization

Publishers cannot directly control off-page ranking factors. These factors include inbound links, social channel activity and online customer reviews. Inbound Links: When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results. You can measure how many inbound links you currently have at www.opensiteexplorer.org . Once you collect this data, consider taking these actions: . Scan your highest-authority inbound links for opportunities to create more similar links. .

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

On-page search ranking factors are those that are entirely within the website publisher's control. In other words, it's the content you place on your webpages. Content: You must keep your content fresh with regular updates on all pages. When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results. You can measure how many inbound links you currently have at www.opensiteexplorer.org . "Evergreen content" was a trendy term in the SEO world for a while, which meant certain content can be relevant and timely year after year, so you can utilize it over and over.
