Small Business SEO - Small Business SMO

So, where did we leave off? Oh, yes now I remember, it was keywords in urls and registration length.

Anyone ever hear of the “bad neighborhood” thing Gooogle has been on about for a while? According to Google, if you are sharing a host with a bunch of spammers, then you will more than likely get wacked as well.

Because your site lives in a”Bad Neighboorhood”.

On the flip side, you could live on the proverbial Friendly Neighbor Lane where it’s going to cost you more but you will get it all back in droves.

The way to do this is to get a dedicated IP address for your site from a reputable host. I don’t always practice what I preach, as this blog is NOT on a dedicated IP, but I’m cheap sometimes and this host is great.

Few business owners know about this, and it is probably one of the last things that cross their minds, but if you’re struggling in the search engines, and you’re doing everything else right, then this maybe something to consider a little deeper.
