Put your thoughts in order with an SEO Mind Map

Download the mindmap here or see it in action as a Java Applet here.

Try as I might to sort out my bookmarks, it just isn't working. I've tried every bookmark management system under the sun but its still just a mess. Then I discovered FreeMind.

In this post I will show you what I created in a couple of days from my collection of disorganised SEO bookmarks. I've divided them into 2 main groups, SEO Advice and SEO Tools. You will need to read up on FreeMind to gain the full benefit but the main things to remember are that anything with a little red arrow is like a hyperlink. Click on it and it will take you to a website; and the other main thing is that anything with a small circle will expand to a deeper level if you highlight it and press the spacebar.

Hope you enjoy my SEO Mind Map.

Free Business Websites

Businesses often want to create their website themselves and just want some guidance on what to do and of course how to do it as cheaply as possible.

You can do it for free but you will have fewer headaches if you spend a little on getting a decent hosting package (see later).

So this is my recipe for 1 simple basic business website.

All you need

1 tech person
1 internet connection

I would recommend you should choose a website designer to be that tech person (preferably me!) but whatever you decide here's what needs to be done.

1. Decide what the website is for
2. Decide who your audience are and why they will come to your website
3. Learn some basic SEO and Accessibility facts.
4. Choose a website design template
5. Change it to match what is right for your company
6. Fill in the content i.e. your words and images
7. Choose a web address e.g. www.mycompany.co.uk
8. Choose some web hosting
9. Upload your website
