The SEO Factor Blog is a supplement designed to provide up to date information on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Website Promotion. As a compliment to our promotion and optimization services, we also like to keep others informed so as to spawn a greater understanding of SEO and search engine placement. Read more about SEO Factor here.

Or goal with SEO Factor is to provide an affordable service with real results. We certainly don’t mean to speak in ill manner towards other companies specifically, but there are some that are charging a lot for submissions, or some other service that doesn’t require an exchange of funds. Our goal with the blog is to share information. SEO almost sells itself in complexity and importance. Anyone can do it. But to be effective you need experience, proven methods, and time to spend on it. Most business owners can not neglect their business to achieve these. With the blog, we have an avenue where we can fully disclose any news, methods, and ideas. There should be no secrets in SEO.
