		<title>Making Article Marketing Simple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are using article marketing to promote your site, you will be all too aware of how much time it takes to write and submit your cherished content.

		<title>The Danger of Duplication in SEO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whilst there&#8217;s nothing to suggest that you will receive any kind of major drop in rankings as a result of using duplicate content or code, you certainly shouldn&#8217;t expect too many favours either.

		<title>Don&#8217;t Let Your Web Host Undermine SEO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nobody is perfect. Online, accidents do happen and sometimes servers malfunction. However, if you find your site&#8217;s host is faultier than most, it could be time to move on.

		<title>Why Do SEO Recommendations Change?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been reading an old SEO manual, it&#8217;s probably best to discard much of what you&#8217;ve read. This is an evolutionary industry. It is also very much in its infancy. Therefore what worked a decade ago, might well be surplus to requirements today.

		<title>How to Market Your Website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to marketing a website there are plenty of options available to you. Some are more obvious than others whilst the effectiveness of each also varies.

		<title>How to Budget for SEO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SEO comes at a cost. Whether that is simply your investment in time or having to pay for a specialist SEO consultant or agency, it is far from being free. One thing it is though, is essential. You simply can&#8217;t have a successful website without adhering to some SEO principles.

		<title>Charting your SEO Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In SEO it is important that you are able to monitor the progress of your site. Whatever your metric of success is, without some measure of growth it is difficult to determine the effectiveness of your SEO efforts to date.

		<title>Are You Taking Your Content Seriously Enough?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of us are inclined to prioritise our work. This is particularly true when we are snowed under with work and don&#8217;t have the time or resources to cope. A situation that many website owners find themselves in at one time or another.

		<title>Getting More from Your Meta</title>
