information they don’t want/need to read

calendar

Social

locations – top of post and maybe bottom

encourages more sharing
Social sharing is like free PR!

What is SEO?
SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It
is the process of getting traffic from the “free,”
“organic,” “editorial” or “natural” listings on
search engines. All major search engines such as
Google, Yahoo and Bing have such
results, where web pages and other content
such as videos or local listings are shown and
ranked based on what the search engine
considers most relevant to users.

exposure on Google (and other search
engines)
• SEO uses link building techniques to gain
credibility for your website
• Use sitemaps on your website and submit
them to Google via “Google Webmaster
Tools” (applies to Bing as well)

What is PPC advertising?
Pay per click marketing, or PPC, is pretty simple:
Search engines like Google and Bing allow
businesses and individuals to buy listings in their
search results. These listings appear along with
the natural, non-paid search results.
