Great info from SARAH E. NEEDLEMAN And EMILY MALTBY at Wall Street Journal:

Tips for Small Businesses That Count on Google’s Search Engine to Survive:

  • Stay informed. Keep track of changes to Google’s algorithms by following its Webmaster Central Blog.
  • Content is king. Make sure your website has original and accurate information. Google places the greatest value on sites providing the best possible user experience.
  • Perform check-ups. The search terms users enter most to find your business can change. Monitor traffic from Google regularly using free Webmaster tools and make refinements.
  • Use social media. Post links to content on your site from Twitter, Facebook and other social-media profiles. Your fans may repost the information.
  • Spread your wings. Don’t rely just on Google. Look for other ways to attract people to your website, such as by running special promotions or buying ads.
  • Seek help. If your site consistently ranks low, consider having it audited by an expert in search-engine optimization.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
