Nick Wilson’s got a great post on 3 Ways to immediately increase search engine traffic. Copywriting, links and networking. Perhaps the best advice is to avoid the snake oil merchants.
There are still die hard SEO’s out there that spend all their time trying to game the system, but most of them are pretty shit at it, only a very few have enough resources to manage it. There are also, a whole slew of con merchants masquerading as SEO’s, just as there are fake designers in the web design field, basing their credentials on the fact that they’ve read a few articles, or bought a keyword tracking tool.
Hard to beat Nick’s post for detailed advice and a laundry list of other resources to turn to. Cut it out and tape it to the fridge.
