I chilled with a friend recently who specializes in SEO, dare I say he is a SEO ninja. Anyways, I took notes on one rant he went on on free ways to boost a sites SEO, especially if your demographic is local and select.
Sign up for web hosting for 10+ years – Spam sites pay for hosting for one year periods. If google sees you are only paid up for a year, it questions your site.
Get your business on the free directories
- Google maps & Google Coupons
- Yahoo! Directory
- Yellowbook
Take advantage of Facebook Fan pages – Free, and word of mouth is the best advertising and you can be super specific about the demographic you focus the page towards.
UPDATE: we should also add Bing to the registry list!
