I have done a quick round up of Christmas related SEO blog posts and fun videos. Here are the best three…

1. The SEO Christmas Tree
   Paul Carpenter over at Bronco has created a fantastic ‘SEO Chtistmas Tree’. His SEO diagram shows all the essential elements you need to run a successful SEO campaign, all in a seasonal Christmas tree diagram.
2. The 12 Days of Christmas – SEO Agency Edition
   Kevin Gibbons over at SEOptimise writes an excellent new take on the much loved Chrsimas classic ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ – check it out because it contains a lot of useful SEO tips.
3. The 12 SEO Days of Christmas
   OK, another 12 Days of Christmas, but this one is an actual video and is hilarious! It may be a few years old but still pertinent today. It’s theSEO team over at Leapfrogg who have created a very funny SEO Christmas video – check it out on YouTube.

Come back tomorrow for Creare’s Christmas song… I promise you, it’s full of Christmas trees, elves and even Santa makes an appearance!

Now could be the perfect time of year to start implementing your SEO campaign to hit the market for Christmas. The peak time for Christmas present shopping online is in November, so you really want to ensure your SEO is working by then. Look at Google Trends. The image below shows google trends for the search term “Christmas Presents”. This shows a clear peak towards the end of each year – around the build up for Christmas.

The second picture shows the trending for the just last 12 months. This clearly shows us that over the last 12 months, there has been virtually no interest in Christmas Presents during the year, but the line is beginning to rise. I suggest that if you want your products to be found in time for Christmas then you should start acting today to catch the peak period in November.

Why bring this up now? Christmas is months away!

Well, actually in SEO terms, I may be writing this post a little late to be honest. Simply put, SEO takes time. But if you start your Christmas SEO now, you should be able to catch the peak, especially if you put everything into it, and work, work, work on it!

The Christmas period is traditionally the busiest time of year for most businesses, and the online world is no different. With many, many sites competing for the top spot for competitive search terms such as Christmas Presents or Christmas Gifts.

So start your Seasonal SEO Campaign today to reap the benefits during November and December. You will find it well worth while and could boost your sales at this peak period.
