Since I've been selling my t-shirts and trying to make a few dollars from my blog, I've been trying to learn about search engine optimization. I just came across an interesting blog, Apogee Search Blog, from a Search Engine Marketing firm out of Texas called Apogee Search.
It's fairly common for companies to pay a firm like Apogee to help them make sure that their web sites come up somewhere decent in web search results. Those looking for SEO in Houston might consider giving them a try.
I've been trying to work the process naturally by requesting that Google add my site, asking my digiscrapping colleagues to add a link to the blog to their sites if they wish, etc. But its a slow process. I can certainly understand why people do gladly pay for advisement in Search Engine Marketing.
