8 August 2008 / Leave a Comment

Search engine optimization (SEO) can seem like a black art to the uninitiated. Many SEO companies promise that your site will get a “top ten ranking” or a “number one position in the search engines”. In reality, there are lots of factors that can influence your site’s position in search results. What’s more, that position can change on a daily basis: you may be number 1 one week, and number 15 the next!
