Product pages search engines will love
By Kalon Huett, Managing Editor

letters represent a world of strategy they know is important, but don't quite know where to start.

You can learn from the behaviours of previous customers to make changes that make the shopping experience smoother for the next customers. Read more

7 Most Common SEO Mistakes for Beginners
Jesse Aaron, Jimdo
Search engine optimization (SEO) probably seems like a super technical trade to those with little experience building a website. Over the past decade, small business owners have learned that having a website is vital to getting new customers. With the massive amount of new small business sites, search engine results pages are overcrowded. When a potential customer searches for your brand name, a product or service you offer, and location keywords (such as "pizza in Philadelphia") you might wonder why your website doesn't show up.
