36 On-Site SEO Strategies
by Ralph Stulgies on Jul.18, 2011, under Uncategorized, Web Design

The more sophisticated search engines such as Google and Bing become the more a well-balanced SEO strategy seems to pay off. There are quite a few DO and DON’Ts which can be on-site as well as off-site. Rather than optimising specifically for search engines the trend has definitely moved towards optimising for users in a search engine friendly manner. If you try too hard and “stuff” keywords you will ultimately be punished maybe even banned.
