Many companies view SEO as one off and when they are ranked they congratulate themselves on a job well done. However this complacency leads to problems down the road where rankings are lost and the panic begins. So my resolution for all clients (and indeed everyone with an online business) in 2008 is to pay close attention to your links and be actively involved in developing new ones. This tactic is vital for continued success in these competitive times.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"><br \/>\nFionn<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\">Search engines put a lot of effort into filtering spam from their ranking methods.
