Question by Nathan: Does SEO take a lot of time to do on your own to have a successful business website?
I work at very small company (2 employees) and we are thinking of building and optimizing a website to sell our fitness equipment products. We don’t want to pay anyone or hire on anyone to do this, but want to handle the set-up and SEO ourselves. We no little about this but are quick learners. We are thinking this will be easy and only take a couple hours a day. Is this insane?

SEO is actually a very simple concept, despite the fact that so many try and complicate it, and try to sell their over-priced services which are rarely, if ever, effective. i.e. NO one can guarantee you a top 10 position on Google, despite so many claims to that effect. All you really need is a good meta-tag section. It will look something like this:

That’s it. Submit it to the search engines.

If you Google “meta tags”, you will likely find many variations of the above, as well as perhaps a better explanation of each “tag” than I have provided. But this should at least get you started.

Good luck!
