Article on Local Business SEO in Coffs Harbour newspaper
May 29th, 2009
I wrote an article for the ETC Business Club’s ‘Doing Business’ column about getting your local business online for free. It was published in today’s Coffs Coast Advocate (Friday 29 May).
See a copy of the newspaper article here.
The article is an abridged version of my earlier blog post for Local Business to Get more exposure in Google for free, with the addition of some tips on using Twitter as part of your company’s marketing communications strategy.
Say what you like and think what you will about Twitter, it can really be a useful tool for local businesses if used right. It’s not difficult and doesn’t have to take up much time at all. See for example my own Content Writer Twitter page or the relatively new Coffs Coast Twitter page for official visitor information about Coffs Harbour attractions and events.
If you have any questions or would like my help in getting your business effective exposure online and making it more successful, check out some other pages on my SEO & copywriting website or get in touch with me, Micky Stuivenberg of Triple W Communications Pty Ltd.

I’m now a Tutor at Search Engine College
May 29th, 2009
I was recently asked to become a part-time online Tutor at the well established Search Engine College. I have now started in that role and am really enjoying it!
I currently tutor about half a day per week, mostly grading student assignments, which I do on top of my regular work writing and editing copy and doing SEO and websites for clients.
Search Engine College is a respected international company that offers short self-study and certification courses in Search Engine Optimisation and related disciplines.
I have taken six of their courses myself and have been a Certified Search Engine Optimiser since January 2008.
Search Engine College founder Kalena Jordan announced my appointment in her Ask-Kalena blog at the end of April 2009. There’s a blurb about me on the SEO Tutors page of the Search Engine College website.
The SEO and search engine marketing courses are flexible, easy to follow and incredibly useful for getting a good grasp of how to make websites successful. Should you be interested, check out the range of courses available on the Search Engine College website.
If you’d like someone to help you optimise your website so it will rank better and you’ll get more visitors and potential customers, feel free to contact me, SEO Content Writer Micky Stuivenberg, to discuss what I can do for you or visit my website first.
