Thanks to the Yoast Company in The Netherlands, I have gained my Basic Yoast SEO qualification, and here is the certificate to prove it. I have always said that I know how to use a computer, but know nothing about how it works, whether software or hardware. Well, now I know something about how Google and SEO works, and you dear reader could benefit as well.
I am going to follow the Yoast way to optimise this site as well as my other site that deals with the fine art products of Gary Jenkins www.farbi-flora-uk.co.uk I am also going to offer SEO services to others based on my knowledge.
