Advertising Tips (All Teachers)

Like Matt, I’ve had great results posting at university notice boards and such. But I have a question about this whole SEO business… What is actually involved? Like for example, I made my own teaching website as much to have a blog on it as anything. I’d done websites with wordpress before, but for this I decided to go with squarespace. It said it had some SEO built in, but clearly this is not the case because when you search for key words, it doesn’t come up. So… other than sprinkling the old magic dust, what IS SEO and can you do it yourself and if not how much does it cost? Whatever ever happened to ordering search results by relevancy (was this ever the case?!)? Is google taking over the world or something? Man oh man. Sorry I got a bit carried away.

Wow, that’s super interesting. Sounds like a rabbit warren of crazy. One interesting thing about that, is that it seems like there are companies out there offering “SEO”, but that maybe this is a bit of a sham/not worth it, because if you can have a killer website design and content and fast loading pages, then you’ve effectively done it yourself, and moreover these aren’t things that another company could or would want to provide for you.
I might have to ask for some advice down the track about all this, when I move back to Melbourne and have to whip up a new website. It seems like Squarespace websites are really not ideal for SEO then, in that although they look amazing, there’s very little noodling you can actually do to the backend (which is where it seems much of the magic happens)…

Yeah…. What he said! I should probably say that the only reason I’m currently ahead of him is that he helped me out so much
