SEO Tip #26: Don't sacrifice user experience
Today's SEO Tips entry was via Leapfrogg
"Optimise your site for both search engines AND site users. Conversion is key. If it won’t make sense to visitor, don’t do it."
Great tip from Leapfrogg and one we hold close to our hearts at Further. If you're making "SEO changes" which have a negative impact on user experience, you shouldn't be doing them. The hallmark of a great SEO agency is making your site great for search engines and improving the user experience at the same time. Something which we go into in great detail in our SEO seminars.
