Here is a list of links that I find useful. You’ll find there are no links to SEO forums; the simple reason is that there is too much noise and I just can’t be bothered anymore. I decided the time had finally come to call it quits when I visited one forum where someone had a question about the title Google was using for his website.

After some complete nonsense had been posted it took me 2 minutes to find the answer; a backlink using the Google title as anchor text. Was that so hard? Only if you’re clueless. I also noticed the site was using javascript cloaking, and advised the person to remove it.

That said, here we go:

Software

SEO Elite - Several SEO tools in one easy to use interface.

Keyword Elite - Uncover underexploited niche markets.

Webposition - check your ranking in the search engines and check your on-page SEO.

Free Ebooks

The Affiliate Masters Course - Ken Evoy of Site Build It! wrote this and although a little too wordy, no PPC advice and nothing on using social networking it still stands up. Download it, it’s free AND far better than most of the $47 affiliate marketing ebooks.

Adwords Made Easy - Brad Callen’s strategies for getting the most out of Google Adwords.

Do you have a website but you want to improve your search engine rankings?

If you live in the Barcelona area or Costa Brava and have an English language website but want more traffic from Google then I can help you.

I am currently looking to offer my Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing services to a small number of clients in these areas, initially in English only, but later in Spanish and Catalan.

With more than 10 years of experience building websites, including the last 6 purely developing my own websites, I have the kind of experience in Search Engine Marketing that many so-called experts only dream of. The initial process broadly consists of:

1. Your objectives - what is the purpose of the website?
2. Website audit - how well is your website meeting your objectives?
3. Recommendations - what steps need to be taken
4. Action - put the recommendations, as agreed with you, into action

If you want to discuss your Internet Marketing needs with me you can call me on +44 (20) 8133 2606 or leave a comment below and I’ll get in touch by email.

I live in Barcelona where I have run a number of websites since 2001.

Before that worked in the UK, joining the internet industry in 1998 at Demon Internet for a number of years in various positions, including Product Manager for ADSL when it was first rolled out.

I later moved to Bulldog Communications in their startup phase, again as ADSL Product Manager.

Relevant qualifications include DipCIM from the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
