This is what search engines use to determine the importance of your content. For example, your main heading in this article "...and Hair Tonic" is only in an h3. I think it should be an h1. Cheers! Matt,

The power of networking is usually under rated, but never should be under estimated. Ian -Wise words as always. I really like the idea of a SEO that thinks and talks like a marketer. Now that's someone I can relate to. Peter

If someone promises you a miraculous climb to #1 on the search engines in days or weeks, run away. A good SEO will talk and think like a marketer. They'll be able to explain what they're going to do, and why, in terms you can understand. There is no secret sauce. Or tonic. It’s very, very simple: If it seems to good to be true, then it is.
