We read recently that there are now 357 million websites in the world.  That’s a lot of websites to rank ahead of!

So how do Nutwork SEO (search engine optimise) your website so it ranks above all the others trying to do the same?

Well, there are three main pillars in SEO – content, backlinks, traffic.

Content

This is the written word on your website.  This must be relevant, unique and constantly updated.  A really good way to keep your content up to date is to have a blog or a news feed, such as the one you are reading right now.

Backlinks

This is also known as link building.  This is the process of creating links from other websites towards your own.  The more links you have from high ranking websites the better.  It’s like a popularity contest.  The more popular your website is, the better it will rank.  Nutwork can create these high quality links towards your website.

Traffic

Traffic is again part of the popularity contest.  If Google sees lots of people visiting your website then it will assume that you are popular and a good result to return in a search.  Traffic generally comes if your backlinks and content is good.  Online marketing is also a good way to drive traffic to your website.

There are more magic herbs and spices required, but these are the main things you need to ensure your website is SEO‘d to the max!

YouTube web videos

YouTube really is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to web video and promtoing your business.  Most people think YouTube is full of scratchy home videos of people doing stupid things to hurt themselves for our entertainment…. and to a large extent it is.  However, the following stats cannot be ignored.  YouTube reached a number of “billion” milestones recently.  Here they are -

  1. Lady Gaga is the first to reach a billion views for her videos on YouTube
  2. The promoted videos section reached half a billion
  3. 1 billion subscriptions now exist on YouTube

We realise web video is not relevant for everyone, but if your business has training, instructional or corporate videos in existence, don’t lock them away in your DVD drawer gathering dust.  Upload your footage to YouTube and potentially broadcast to literally billions of people.

Nutwork produce awesome corporate and training videos.  If you have a need one produced, please contact us and we will help you out.
