This year a lot of websites was hit by Google Penguin update. What’s more, some minor Google Panda updates also hurt a lot of blogs. Organic traffic disappeared…
In the last two months I read more than 200 articles and blog posts about SEO and traffic. I make a little compilation from them and in this post I collected most important tips (and links) about traffic and SEO which I found on blogosphere.
This article is divided into two parts.
The first one is about 35 Traffic and SEO tips – it’s my compilation of SEO and traffic tips 😉
The second part is a base for it – it includes links to almost 40 great articles from bloggers.
