One of the things I'm most often asked about with websites these days, is how to get on page 1 of Google - and I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no fast or secret way to do this. It takes months or years of consistent work and effort.
Don't be completely disheartened though; There is good news! You can make changes to your Joomla website that can help Google (and real people looking at search results) understand what your website is about AND improve the ratio of people clicking through to your website.

With the increased availability and sophistication of mobile electronic devices and the improvements in mobile coverage and cost, it is now essential for any sort of organisation to have an internet presence at all times.
The increase demand and reliance on websites has also raised the profile of websites as a tempting target for hackers, vandals and those with too much time on their hands.

In an age where mobile rules supreme, you should be doing everything in your power to make your website mobile friendly. Aside from having a responsive or mobile template, having numbers appear as links that can be clicked to make it super simple for mobile visitors to call you is something you can easily do yourself. Today I'll show you how to make a telephone number "clickable" on your website.
Owning your content via a blog and email direct marketing (eNewsletters) to your audience should be part of any marketing strategy. As I've discussed previously, relying on social media to connect with your customers is fraught with danger as the rules change and the landscape shifts.
A blog is essential for SEO and to provide your customers with new relevant content, but unlike social media the audience may not keep returning to you which is why I recommend having a newsletter sign up on your website so you can continue to market directly to your customers.
Now you have the blog, you have the opt-in but how in the world do I make an eNewsletter you ask? Well read on as I have some great free tools you can make use of to simplify the job and show you how to use your eNewsletter to sell more.
One of the best pieces of productivity advice I was given a few years ago was "Stop using your inbox as your To Do list". Why? Because email and tasks are two separate functions.

By trying to manage these two distinct functions within your inbox, you're going to be inefficient at both.

Search Engine Optimisation or SEO for short, are a group of techniques that are used to help boost your visibility to search engines, like Google, for specific keyword phrases.

"One password fits all!", we cry.
This article will try and solve the two problems that we have with passwords:
