While in theory, this could be pure coincidence, the results speak fo...

Five Ways to Improve Your Site's Ranking (SEO)

Follow these suggestions, and watch your website rise the ranks to the top of search-engine results. 1. Publish Relevant Content Quality content is the number one driver of your search engine rankings and there is no substitute for great content. Quality content created specifically for your intended user increases site traffic, which improves your site’s authority and relevance. Identify a keyword phrase for each page. Think about how your reader might search for that specific page (with phrases like “mechanical engineering in Michigan,” “best-applied physics program,” or “Michigan Tech degrees”). Then, repeat this phrase several times throughout the page—once or twice in the opening and closing paragraphs, and two to four more times throughout the remaining content. Don’t forget to use bold, italics, heading tags, and other emphasis tags to highlight keyword phrases, but don’t overdo it. Never sacrifice good writing for SEO.

5 Things You Need to Know About Social Media & SEO

While looking over the infographic one thing, in particular, caught my eye: the importance that companies and agencies alike place on social media when thinking about their SEO strategy. The infographic illustrates findings from Econsultancy’s State of Search Marketing Report 2013 , in which 74% of companies and 82% of agencies surveyed said that social media is either somewhat or highly integrated into their SEO strategy.
