Is it really that easy?

There are a lot of valuable, useful tips being shared out there, along with all the rubbish. With enough time and energy anyone with limited knowledge of the internet or computers can become very effective in this industry, along with the other thousands of self made experts out there. The problem is that it is very easy to know how to do something; actually being capable of doing it is a completely different scenario.
Doing the dirty work of Search Engine Optimisation takes skill and lots of work, reworking, testing, tweaking, reworking and again tweaking. Once that stage is complete, it’s all about maintenance, adapting and tweaking some more.

Advice is free

Age of a website does work against you, older and more reliable the better.
