You have put in the hours. Your site looks great. You have spent days tweaking it for the search engines and have manually submitted it to all the directories. How can you measure your success?

When you setup a new site one of your big concerns is going to be getting it indexed. If the site isn't indexed then it won't appear in any search engine results. As I promised earlier this week, I intend to share the success and failure of the SEO for this website.

A lot of personal and business websites are now database driven and use a combination of technologies to store and produce content. Although new technology can bring its advantages you need to be aware of the possible effects on your SEO campaign.

Ever wondered how some sites appear to get an inordinate amount of traffic? Why does a website with little or no content appear so high up in the search results, while your site is hidden?

If you want to get your site into the top results, then maybe you need to pay attention to your language.

As this site is about SEO providing practical examples would be the logical step. Over the course of the next few weeks I intend to put together some examples of SEO in practice. Not in theory, but in actual practice, so you can see, to some degree at least, how well the process is, or isn't, working.

I came across a useful post over on 60 days to 100k which covers some of the more common mistakes made by webmasters.

What is this site about? I setup this site to share tips and tricks related to search engine optimisation and online marketing.
