Not about gaming Google – for us
At Silicon Dales, our form of Search Engine Optimization focuses very squarely on delivering a quality site for your users. Not following some “next big thing” tactic, but instead making sure your website is as useful and relevant as possible for your visitors.
Make it fast & please your users
This means a website which is fast; has good page titles; contains sufficient information to be useful; and in general, making your website a rich experience that your visitors love and will visit again and again because its so gosh darned useful.
