Tip #1 - Singles night
Let’s face it; single word optimisation just doesn’t work anymore unless youhave masses of time or money to throw at it.Unfortunately the time has passed when you could get to number one inGoogle or anywhere for a single word search.So stop trying to optimise for ‘cars’ or ‘money’ or ‘business’ – it’s not going tohappen.And even if by some miracle it does, it really won’t do you any good. It’s toogeneric.If I search for ‘business’ I could be searching for networking, or accountants,or business advice. If you rent out offices in London, then you’re not what I’mlooking for.So STOP optimising for single words and start thinking in terms of keyPHRASES not keywords. —oOo—
