It was always going to be a tough job to extricate the UK from the EU and as Brexit deadlines come and go, so it is proving to be. But how will Brexit affect SEO?
The internet has come a long way since its humble beginnings. There was once only one website dedicated to explaining the World Wide Web project. The computer it was hosted on was in CERN and it had a hand-written sticker on it saying “This machine is a server. DO NOT POWER IT DOWN!!”
Read MoreWe’ve been used to the same TLDs (top level domains) for a while now, everynow and then a drip of new TLDs has come onto the market however they’ve not had a massive impact.
From an SEO point of view those original national level TLDs have remained the most important types of domains with the .com; .co.uk and we’ll all know the other ones that are (or include) .gov, .biz, .info, .net, .org etc Read More
Everynow and then I get new options of TLDs popping up in my 123 reg account and this time it was .gb.net TLDs. I thought I’d buy one and see if it’s any good for SEO. Read More
If you’re looking to build a new website you’ll want to get something that is brandable but also give your users some idea of what the website is all about. One of the best ways to go about this is by choosing a keyword and then adding a suffix to the end of it. Read More

So I’ve been trying to get a site to rank for the terms Cross Cut Office Shredders and Cross Cut Office Shredder and I’ve been having a bit of fun and games with it at the moment.

Google quietly announced that it was preparing to turn down the algorithm so as not to give so much weight to exact match domains. This could have a significant impact on the way web marketing is done.
I’ve been thinking about how I can improve the design of GrowTraffic for a while. It needs it, but the thing is I’m a search marketer, not a designer or a developer and although I can build a website I feel there is a quality about the GrowTraffic design that reflects what it is I do as an SEO.
Instead of changing the design of GrowTraffic I decided that I would experiment first with another website, I bought a domain and started the building process.
SEO Auditing
I decided that I would create a website about a specific element of the SEO process and that’s why I bought seoaudting.co.uk – it’s built in WordPress and built using a theme I found on the internet that’s relatively similar to the GrowTraffic layout just a bit more up to date.
