New White Paper: SEO Basics for a Social World

In June of 2008 The Bivings Group released SEO Basics which was our first comprehensive overview of how one should approach configuring websites for maximum search engine optimization. While this document did an excellent job of covering the the use of meta tags including keywords, title and descriptive tags as well as the role of content, site structure, links and the CMS in SEO, after almost three years it was time for an update. In this latest version we have expanded on these topics to include such changes as:

  • The impact of changes to changes to Google’s algorithm (The Panda Update)
  • How Google and Bing are incorporating activity on social networks into their search results
  • The rise of new competitors such as Blekko, Qyo.co and DuckDuckGo

In coming weeks we will be releases several follow-ups to this document that cover in more detail how to actually configure Drupal 7 and WordPress 3.13 to be search engine friendly as well as more tips and tricks to take advantage of activity on social networks to create a dialogue that drives traffic to your website. While this is not the end-all, be-all of SEO how-to’s we hope you find it useful.

While  every site we build is configured for maximum search engine optimization, if you are not happy with your ranking on Google and would like some professional help, please reach out.
