There is no magic in SEO. It's just work.

Thursday, August 12, 2010 – Here's the awful truth about search engine optimization: There is no magic bullet.There is no magic keyword list.There is no secret code.There is no meta tag trick. There is only hard work. I get asked a lot about SEO by prospective clients. Everyone wants a magic bullet, but the answer is unappealing.
