SEO by the Pool

There is nothing wrong with this picture. Nothing.

Spec-Savers’ new Climate Eyes campaign is currently showing on TV. The concept is simple: Spec-Savers will plant a Spekboom plant for every purchase of Climate Eyes prescription spectacles.
The Spekboom plant is remarkable in that it stores carbon in enormous quantities.
The idea of soaking up excess carbon by planting more spekboom plants is great in principle. Should this become a national effort? Why is the government not backing this in a visible, urgent manner?
Cynicism might state that Spec-Savers are only riding the enviro-wagon like many other “green” companies – but the upside is that they are creating more awareness of the spekboom’s carbon-scrubbing properties and climate change in general.

Why, when we have the technology, do South African sites still have terrible search engine optimization? SEO is nothing new – it’s been around since the Internet, for goodness sake.
Here’s an example by Discovery Health: http://www.healthyfoodhealthyyou.co.za/
This is a great site with tons of excellent goodies: videos, recipes, great articles and celebrities.
The site even has Facebook advertising to support it.
Unfortunately someone decided that the ENTIRE site should be developed using FLASH, so none of the content will ever get indexed or rank in a search engine.
It’s a real shame that so many South African companies still don’t bother reading about search engine optimization and implementing it.
