Online sales

This blog aims to help you make more money from your website. Lead blogger Chris Thomas heads www.Reseo.com, a search engine optimisation and marketing company. Chris has been an online retailer since 2001, and realised early on that if he didn’t pay attention to online marketing systems he was going to go out of business. His research and SEO efforts shot his website to the top of Google for targeted key phrases, then a few years later was penalised by Google for over optimising!

Should I create more content to get more traffic?

Author: Chris Thomas on

Creating more content on your site is probably the ‘easiest' way to build more traffic to your website. The reason is that every single bit of content you create will be indexed by search engines and, over time, your new unique content will start to rank well for lots of (usually long tail) search queries.


Media buying can be an expensive business, especially when you're going through an agency. Frankly, it's not an area that I have specialised in in the past, mainly because banner Ad's are notoriously bad for online sales. But it's one that's become more accessible to all of us recently due to Google's acquisition of doubleclick.
