July has been another busy month at SEOptimise – and seeing that we are currently writing around the web, I thought it would be a good time to share these posts with SEOptimise readers and recap on the top posts we’ve written here on the blog.
Plus I have been confirmed as a speaker at a4uexpo London in October, this is on the “20 Social Media Tools & 20 WordPress Plugins Boost Your Performance” day two session. We also sent out the latest installment of the SEOptimise newsletter yesterday – signup here if you haven’t already!
Time flies by. It’s more than two years by now that I write the highly popular “30+” list blog posts to get links and traffic for SEOptimise. I’ve often tried to abandon them, to write tutorials or other types of postings but list posts with around 30 items still rule. They get the most
shares on social media
links
attention
traffic
for several reasons.
This year some of the big guys in the SEO blogosphere started doing 30 something lists as well, SEOmoz does them, SEL compiles them. They even surpass my lists in some cases as they spend obviously more time on them than I do. Their success with this technique has just confirmed to me that 30+ lists work. That’s why I will tell you how to write them.
This week you may have noticed we have started recruiting for an SEO executive – rather than just writing up a standard we are recruiting post, I thought I’d share the process of how to advertise for jobs online.

As a disclaimer, I have nothing in particular against recruitment agencies it’s just good to know the alternatives available – and of course everyone likes to know how to do things on the cheap!
Last Friday was the SEOptimise summer party, being such a sunny day we made the most of it by going punting (unfortunately no-one fell in!), followed by a beer or three in Oxford. We thought we’d share some of the photos with our readers.
The full agenda for SMX London is now almost complete, this was a great conference last year and is expected to be a must-attend event again this year – especially as this is now an advanced conference.

To our American readers not making the journey across the pond, we are also attending SMX Advanced in Seattle this June so we should get to see you there instead! ;)

Since 2006 I’ve written-up a review of the SEOptimise blog in terms of stats and analytics. As it’s an interesting time to look back on how the site has progressed, I’ve continued this by listing some similar stats for comparison during the last 12 months:
Today we have launched a free white paper, Business Guide to Blogging – this looks at how businesses can promote themselves using blogging, funnily enough. All you need to do is click here to download the guide in PDF format.
Here’s my introduction to the guide:
“The SEOptimise blog began as a way of marketing our search engine optimisation services. We used it initially to attract customers, add to the site’s content and showcase our expertise. It still does all those things, of course, but it has also become so much more. Continue Reading »
I was quite surprised, but very honored to be nominated amongst some great guys – including fellow SEOptimise blogger Tadeusz Szewczyk. Last years vote was very popular and I’d encourage that SEOptimise readers take part in this and of course any votes for myself or Tad would be greatly appreciated! ;)
