The amount of Place listings varies based on how many are already claimed, in some cases it's only 2 or 4, so more organic results will appear.

301 Redirects in Wordpress CMS Plugins

If you are using Wordpress and need to do 301 Redirects, there are a few plugins you can use to make your job easier rather than using a .httaccess file.

My favourite 3 301 redirect plugins for Wordpress are:

1. Simple 301 Redirect
2. Redirection
3. Quick Page/Post Redirect

These 3 plugins have been reviewed on Australian Wordpress Designer. Including screen shots and what is a 301 redirect.

Article Submission site for Perth Businesses

We've built a new website that is purely Perth focused for article submissions.

We will only accept articles or press releases that are Perth focused and the business or organisation has to be based in Perth. The content writer does not have to be in Perth, but the information has to be about Perth in Western Australia.

When it comes to SEO, article submissions are in the top 5 items in the strategy, and having an article that is focused on a niche, in its niche is of high value.

The website is called Perth Articles. You can submit in up to 100 word articles and include 1 or 2 images or a video. Images/photos are encouraged to be included, this will also make your article look great and fit the part.

Australian Article and Content Writer

So you have a website and need some content for your blog or web pages. Like for most people this sort of work is time consuming and coming up with content isn't easy. So you have some options:

1. Outsource it Internationally
2. Outsource it to an Australian company
3. Keep procrastinating and not get it done

Outsource to an International Content Writing Company

When you outsource to an overseas company, you naturally won't meat them and more than likely won't even speak to them, yet you trust them with what your customers and prospects will judge you on. So is this a good thing? - you decide. Do they speak Australian English? Do they know the area, is it important? How much value do you put on your content on your website?

Outsource to an Australian Content Writer

When the content is written by a local, you will have local knowledge and in particular how we use our language, not to mention references to things that matter to us as Australians.

I have outsourced content in the past and found myself rewriting all of it again, so I realised I was wasting my $20 per article into thin air and not getting any benefit out of it.

Procrastinating Content Writing

Keep thinking about it, while your competition overtakes you.

---

We all know that search engines love new content and in particular good quality original content.

Content is KING when it comes to websites and it shouldn't be taken lightly as it will make or break a website.

A Content Writer is also known as a Shadow Writer or Ghost Writer. As they are not visible to the public and write content for you.

When working with a ghost writer, you tell them a topic and how it fits into your website/blog and he/she will write for you. Ideally you'd want someone who will be with you for a while and the same person to ensure you have continuity and tone is the same. Nothing worse when each page of your website has different style of content writing on it.

If you require a content writer in Australia you can take a look at our services at Good Good for - Australian Content Writer. The services are offered with both the end user as well as search engines in mind, so both will benefit.

On Page SEO Meta Data Basics

I did a quick guide to what's important when it comes to On Page SEO Meta Data Basics

Meta data is important when it comes to on page Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). People overlook the meta data on their web pages these days as most CMSs do this automatically, but it's not controlled and may not reflect your targeted key words properly.
