about my technical seo freelancer services
Hello and thank you for visiting.
experience
I have worked in computing from the late 80s in a variety of roles, developing solutions with different programming languages. I gained a BSc (Hons) Computing from Napier University in 1995 and then started working in website development.
I have a passion for all things search related and this compliments nicely with a HND in Business Studies where I majored in marketing.
I am proud of my technical SEO skills and how they can dramatically change the success of a projects web presence.
BSc Computing (Hons)
My honours degree exposed me to a variety of programming techniques. I loved database development, organisation of information and the internet. I keep up-to date with developments of modern search technology and have an in-depth understanding in all aspects of SEO. For example, in information retrieval “tf-idf” is a statistical model of how important a word is to a document in a collection. An understanding of this technology helps search engines "understand" your website and its keywords. With google, they have introduced "RankBrain and neural matching" in the past few years to improve SERPs. Please note that these concepts are part of hundreds of ranking factors that search engines use to rank keywords.
