Search Engine Ranking Factors

Posted by Simon on 31 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: SEO

Another quick post to link out to seomoz and their collection of ranking factors.

“The collective wisdom of 37 leaders in the world of organic search engine optimization.”

Well you cant ask for more than that can you.

On a serious note I do base parts of my search engine audits on some of these results and the info contained on these pages is very valuable as it is an insight into the way other SEO consultants may work.

Here it is. The first post of many.

This will be (another) blog dedicated to the art of SEO in all its forms.

There may be a few differences to the normal crap you read. This mainly lies in the fact that I intend to reveal everything about the SEO industry including the techniques which most SEO “Guru’s” would prefer they keep to themselves.
