So here we are, just two days away from the big day, and what a great day it is for doing nothing, eating loads and watching television…and of course sparing a thought for those less fortunate around the world. Christmas might only feel like one day, but traditionally there are in fact 12 days of Christmas, you know the song, “On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me….”, etc. So in the true spirit of Christmas I have put together a list of 12 essential SEO basics.
