The saying that says “content is king” is pretty old hat at this point. Don’t get me wrong, content is clearly an important part of anybody’s SEO efforts these days.

Of course, you want to be sure that your website is well designed, has a great interface for your users, and you need to make sure you’ve done all the technical stuff that will make your site rank well.
