Over time I have managed to collect some good, and filter out some not so good free SEO tools.

Here they are… Read the rest of this entry »

Well, here we are. My first ever blog post! It’s been a long while coming so I’ll try to keep it as interesting as possible. Firstly I want to thank Peter for my introduction as the company SEO guru! I think guru might be slightly misleading, but I have certainly learned a thing or two over the years as the in house SEO consultant here at Onlineworx.

Over the course of time I will be posting useful SEO (search engine optimisation) tricks, tips and tit-bits that I think may be of interest to other webmasters and site owners out there.

So don’t forget to stop by on a regular basis to keep up to date on the latest SEO news!
