Getting started with your website?

The Magic of The Google Rubiks Cube

There's many moving faces to your Rubiks cube, before you can get your cube in a specific order, you have to understand the basic movements of the cube, and how one small change affects all the other side. Once you do that, then you can find those changes fit into the overall plan, and don't destroy your overall progress. This is also the same with your website marketing strategy online, you need to understand the fundamentals, and what elements will work together, or work against each other. Read more about Rubik's cube SEO the basic moves.

The following is a rant that has been building up from a number of experiences me and some fellow SEO friends have had with clients that have not only ignored advice, but have taken pains to undo changes to their site.

Just in March Google announced that it would be altering the SERP result page to increase the amount of information that the description would give for long tail searches.
