An SEO guy in Scotland….

I’m an seo guy….here’s my latest. Targeting the term SEO Scotland

Yeah, that’s search engine optimisation.

I can’t spell search engine optimizaion….

I work for Hobo, a search engine optimizaion company. We love seo. Search engine optimizaion is basically making sure search engines can properly read your site and is promoted properly through getting other sites to link to yours.

Google sees each link as a vote for your site. In theory the more “natural-looking” votes for your site, the better you do in Google. Not all “votes” are equal, though.

Here goes…..
