Press Release Summary = Small Business Owners Learn How to Rank Higher with the Search Engines in New Downloadable E-Book
Press Release Body = MINNEAPOLIS, MN - August 30, 2007 -- Small Business Mavericks, a division of Melberg Marketing, today announced the latest edition in its Local Small Business Marketing series. The new title, SEO Basics: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started on Your Website Today, by Caroline Melberg and Chris McElroy, is available as a downloadable PDF at www.SmallBusinessMavericks.com for $19.00.
\"Whoever said \'build it and they will come\' was talking about baseball and mousetraps, not websites,\" says Small Business Mavericks founder and president Caroline Melberg. \"Too many small business owners have designed small business websites, paid for hosting, and waited for customers to show up - because they\'ve assumed once they threw open their virtual doors, everything else would fall into place.\"
SEO Basics explains how search engine optimization works, and offers simple, easy-to-follow directions about how to choose the sort of keywords and content to put on your site; how to build links to your page from other web pages; and what meta tags are, how to code them, and why meta tags matter so much. The book also explores SEO techniques you don\'t want to try, and explains why. A few hours invested in this book can mean, for small business owners, the difference between hundreds of hours spent in trial and error trying to get their web site right, and having a site that begins generating revenue right out of the gate.
SEO Basics joins five existing titles in the Local Small Business Marketing series, all still available on the www.SmallBusinessMavericks.com site: .
