Of course, I've found even with Google, I can put "books for tween girls" and similar keywords on my website all I want, but there are so darn many other sites out there that have those keywords, I can't even make a dent!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015025502147924207.post-3167669964860149342015-10-17T09:27:47.206-07:002015-10-17T09:27:47.206-07:00Fantastic post.

Things are very clear now. Thanks for sharing and wishing Alison the best of luck.
