There are about a zillion different opinions about SEO around what works and what doesn’t. Some folks even go as far as to attempt to set up so called scientific studies to prove their hypothesis. Anyone with a grade 12 education can see that the bulk of the “studies” that have been done are invalid, […]
I stumbled across one of the coolest tools to research a website’s competition. The product is called “Navigator” by TouchGraph. It’s a tool that I’ve incorporated as a staple in my SEO research toolbag. One of the very critical parts of forming a decent SEO plan for a website is to do research on the […]
