"Point 5 - Google’s latest iteration of its free <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" rel="nofollow">Adwords Keyword tool</a> is much much better than Wordtracker, and it’s free." "Point 7 - No, not on a separate domain. On the company’s main domain so that the vocabulary is on the main domain supporting long tail searches, and any link reputation the blog acquires points at the main domain to support it in natural search." Thanks for that Steve! I will amend/re-post an article with latest discoveries in due course. Was fortunate to gain some feedback on this article from Google SEO Consultant Steve Johnston:

“Point 3 – get properly registered in Google Local Business Centre.”

“Point 5 – Google’s latest iteration of its free Adwords Keyword tool is much much better than Wordtracker, and it’s free.”

“Point 7 – No, not on a separate domain. On the company’s main domain so that the vocabulary is on the main domain supporting long tail searches, and any link reputation the blog acquires points at the main domain to support it in natural search.”

Thanks for that Steve! I will amend/re-post an article with latest discoveries in due course.

Members can add any items they think are worthy of mentioning - meaning small business owners/online shops - and you Dad! - can add their key/favourite items for free. Members then 'pick' what they think is cool (like voting for it) and the items with the most 'picks' rise higher up the Top of the Picks list. Shopping by recommendation, with the best of the web all in one place. More info about adding items can be found here: http://www.myshopbag.co.uk/participate Hope it proves successful for your Dad! lx Just an update on this Kier – MyShopBag.co.uk is a social shopping website that’s just launched in the UK.

I think a selection of short tutorials that can be added together to become one longer tutorial is a useful approach.

Your dad could also make some videos of him 'creating things' from his products and put them on YouTube. I heard about a lady who sells beads who does tutorials of how to make bracelets and gets a lot of traffic that way. Lx Good advice Keir.
