58. Patience No one is really patient, especially in business – everyone has bills to pay, bosses to report to, investors to satisfy… Often making it difficult to justify SEO spend in one quarter when results might happen the next quarter.
59. Persistence SEO isn’t something you can spend a few weeks doing, and then sit back and watch the traffic increase. In competitive niches, the competition is going to be working on something every day to reach a goal. Unless you’re doing the same or better, you’ll simply miss out
60. Perseverance No matter how strong your SEO strategy is, you don’t control the SERPs, the search engines do. Yes, you can influence it (sometimes very heavily), but you can’t control it.
61. Proactive Any SEO work done today likely won’t affect traffic or revenue today. Think and plan ahead. Make sure you factor in the long-term to your day-to-day activities.
63. Laying Foundations Perform keyword research for your niche Create a simple website structure Create unique content and page titles Build links to your new content from related sources
69. Making It Work To ensure the hours you spend on SEO are worthwhile it is vital to track and measure every step and process taken
70. Making It Work SEO is an evolving beast and requires time and attention to improve results Constantly review your competition and the work they are doing Build authoritative links to your content
71. Making It Work Set yourself clear and realistic objectives Use industry knowledge – widely available from blogs including ours DO NOT try to cheat the system, you will be caught out
72. Want to win at SEO? Create a solid foundation and gradually – patiently build on it.

So today will focus on understanding the task head – asking ourselves some hard hitting questionsDon’t take the easy option – often we find people taking short cuts.....Ecommerce example...only yesterday I was talking to someone who has recently found a piece of software online to build a shopping cart website, so uploading products etc is great, drag and drop and he said it was really cheap but now he found out that platform only processes paypal transactions and he needs a full shopping cart facility to process all the other payment options....and these is now going to cost him twice as much and has delayed his project?Know your competitors! Do your research, often this really overlooked as you can learn loads from your competitors, understanding what’s working for them and capitalising on areas where there focus is less.Creating Platforms is probably the most important part of this presentation – companies need to invest in future proof web platforms. We’ve seen some real horror story’s here and it pain me every time I see companies investing good money in bad technology and often its not the fact that the technology is bad it a case of it doesn’t fit their business requirements.
