Blogging
Several of my customers have asked for something they can do to increase their organic search engine placement. I tell them to ad content. The easiest way to ad content is to have a blog and post daily or at least weekly. If it is to hard for the client to set up their own blog, I can do it for them and then teach them how to use the software and get them up and blogging. Giving the Search Engines new content to catalog every time your site get crawled is a great way to increase the frequency of crawling as well as the placement of your site.
Just a thought…

“I sought out Dotty when I felt I was struggling and needed direction, and miraculously she was there eager to assist!”
My name is Randa Kassisieh, I am a fellow “Renegade Professional”. After several months of studying the Renegade Professional Platform, I had built my own website utilizing all the webinars that were offered in the back office, that gave step-by-step instructions on how to apply the different methods and techniques to achieve an optimized website through WordPress suitable for the net and Google friendly. Dotty had conducted several of the webinars that had dealt with SEO and technical challenges, which she addressed with precision.
I had some issues that were not clear to me, and I contacted Dotty for some assistance. Our conversation was warm and friendly, as if I knew Dotty before. She was very soft spoken but precise, and listened with care. She had clarified issues as far as…what direction to take, how to be more focused, what avenues to pursue…etc…
After our conversation, I felt truly nurtured and knew what necessary steps need to be made. Dotty is not just informed with website design and technical issues, but is also a well rounded coach for advancing your marketing strategies, and creating traffic to your sites that will insure positive leads. Dotty’s honesty and professionalism encourages me to recommend her to others with confidence.
