Search Engine Optimisation The last thing most bloggers want to worry about is Search Engine Optimisation.

Blogging Do you provide the odd link or reference to sites who have made good comments about your site in their blogs? Do you help out your fans? The one thing i love about blogging is that bloggers aren’t reluctant to link to articles they like on other blogs. Even blogs which cover the same topic as their own. Ive been involved in building websites since 2000. Since then i’ve noticed that a great majority of webmasters are reluctant to link ...
