Google’s Advice On Hiring An SEO Consultant
Google have never really openly endorsed search engine optimization consultants - until today that is. The Google Webmaster Help Center finally has an advice piece on how to hire a consultant - a change from their previous stance of simply warning against 'black hat' SEO operators. Google's advice is fairly reasonable too and includes: Before beginning your search for an SEO, it's a great idea to become an educated consumer and get familiar with how search engines work.

Search Engine Optimization And The NoFollow Debate
There is an interesting discussion on the search engine optimization forum at WebProWorld around the topic of NoFollow-DoFollow. The comments are varied although there are a few common points.

We have written many articles that either allude to, or come right out and say that your web design should avoid flash scripts wherever possible. It simply wasn't good for search engine optimization.

Search Engine Optimization And Content Writing
One of the areas of search engine optimization that can never be emphasized enough is your content writing. Content is what visitors are looking for no matter what type of website you have. If you are selling products, your buyers are going to want information on the products they are buying. Sometimes it is the simple areas of content writing that let websites down.
