Mitchell shows how to craft a strategy that reflects your specific goals for attracting qualified traffic. You’ll learn how to go beyond mere rankings to measure everything from the quality of visitor engagement to sales conversions; how to structure sites that are friendlier to both searchers and search engines; how to earn the honest external links that search engine algorithms love; and a whole lot more.
