That’s especially true when there’s no guarantee that your hard work will result in a single additional visitor from Google. That’s one of the reasons that a recent study ranked SEO as the third most important marketing priority for startups (behind social media and content marketing). Why do startups tend to shy away from SEO? From working with dozens of startups, I’ve found that founders hate the uncertainty that comes from SEO. Yes, there’s an element of uncertainty with SEO (after all, Google doesn’t publicly reveal the factors they use to rank websites).
Backlinks, content and page speed are key Backlinko recently teamed up with a handful of SEO software companies to evaluate the factors that are most important for success with SEO today.

We adapted, changed and thrived. Practitioners are already collaborating to find an alternative model which can work for Malta. I also believe that when there is a certain critical mass – as there is with financial services and gaming – it creates its own gravity and attraction. This is not a dark cloud looming. Fantasy sports gambling becomes major issue.
