Simply getting your site listed in the search engines is not difficult. Getting your site listed in the top 30 listings for particular keywords is
more involved, and requires regular maintenance and monitoring.
There are a multitude of factors that should be considered in the planning and decision making process

double opt-in newsletter or
email marketing strategies.
