As you can imagine, I had a lot of positive feedback from my first columns (thanks, Mom!) and consequently felt emboldened to share my written thoughts with not only the fine folks of Mansfield, but also with my friends, clients and business associates. For the past year my blog has been hosted here on Google's free blog publishing tool, Blogger. The price was right, but in exchange for the free publishing, I have come to learn that the content I've been publishing hasn't been helping my company's search engine results. In other words, if my blog entries were posted to my website talkwithdavis.com instead of blogspot.com, I would likely get better search results.
My friend and website designer, Barry Roos, has helped me make my blog more "search engine friendly" and we've now moved it to blog.talkwithdavis.com. This means that when people now search for "Financial Planner in Mansfield", "Financial Planner in Easton", "Financial Planner in Foxboro" or in any of the surrounding communities, my firm, Davis Financial, should start to show up higher in the rankings. In the old days, businesses would use "creative" business names like AAA Financial or A1 Financial in order to show up first in the phone book. But since the phone book has gone the way of the buggy whip, search engine optimization is the way for smart businesses to get better placement. If you would like to learn more about Barry and his company please visit his company's website: Roosites Web Development.
