Become A Local Authority With Content

Creating the perfect SEO Geo-specific google campaign is a start to gain some traction in paid search ads.

Ahrefs is best known for tools to help with SEO and rank websites on search engines now they are going a step further to help content creators make money from their writing and innovative efforts. I'm looking forward to seeing this search engine showdown but rooting for the underdog of course. Visit Search Engine Journal to [read more].
