About SEO

These tutorials do not necessarily represent everything there is to know, so check with other sources as well.

Warning:

  1. Be careful about accepting SEO offers via telephone or e-mail. (Because of: Scams and clueless clowns.)
  2. Always consult official sources. (I.e. Google, Yahoo, Bing, and so on.)

A good web- developer / designer should be able to handle SEO from the beginning, so you should not have to hire third party SEO consultants.
