Metadata, link building, content marketing, social media . All of these are a factor of google now and if you can dig deep into google you will reap the benefits of huge amounts of targeted traffic absolutely free. I wrote about SEO in my

Where do we go from here.

Working on a website to continually build traffic is hard. This is why people say its not easy. If you follow some of the methods I have mentioned and research your own it will be a lot easier for you in the long run i promise.

With more and more people taking their business online it’s becoming more competitive and crowded so you have to come up with ways of outranking those companies.
