Any good articles on SEO

omega42

So the story is my English cousin has an online business and he is working on the SEO at the moment so I gave him a few pointers.

He has 10 websites all selling the same similar products, same layouts everything the same including about 80% of the same content. I've tried telling him about google and their unique content as a major factor in their ranking.

Of course he dosn't believe his backward cousin from the sticks, he is focusing on meta tags and the more pages the better

Does anybody have any good articles that they could point me to in order to show him the error's of his way. I know I should just let him suffer but I'm not that mean ...... Today

Thanks

Hi Omega,

I would definitely pass this onto your cousin -http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo

It's quite a comprehensive guide for anyone who is new to SEO.

Along with this, it would be worth him checking out the WhiteBoard Friday videos on SEOmoz - http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo

For any other questions, just shout!

Make sure your friends site is registered with Google Webmaster tools and also Google analytics. He will find a lot of information in both of these which will help with the promotion of the site and also the results of any work he does in promoting the site
