If you have ever visited our Seattle Web Hosting page in the past then you may have noticed that the web hosting companies which were listed was not related to the Seattle area. Clearly this didn’t make any sense, so we have changed the page to include only web hosting companies which are in or around the Seattle area. We have posted the sites which we feel will provide your business with the best possible service and at prices that will not break the bank. Read more…
Let’s start off by explaining what a 301 redirect is and then get into how using them can help your search engine optimization efforts. A basic definition of a 301 redirect is “A Web server function where an old URL can be redirected to a new one. 301 Redirect is a “permanent” redirect status indicating that the resource has moved permanently”.

One of the most frustrating things that I here from business owners is their business doesn’t need search engine optimization because they are already getting enough business as it is. Well that’s great, but that doesn’t mean that you should just scratch seo off your check list. Business might be doing good today but what will it be doing in the future.

However, alot of companies are also going out of business because this is the only method they wish to use. Read more…

I haven’t talked to much about link building so I want to take this time to show you a fairly simple tactic for gaining some relevant links. Those of you who have been doing SEO for awhile will most likely already be familiar with this but I’m posting this for the newbies.
