We all know how difficult it can be to find the perfect gift for your partner when Valentine's Day comes around - romance is well known for it's clichés, do you give flowers, teddy bears, chocolates, lingerie, blah, blah, blah? At I-COM, we've seen (and heard, touched, tasted and smelled) it all before, which is why we're recommending a fantastic new gift for Valentine's Day this year:

Give SEO!

SEO really is a wonderful gift for the special person in your life. Picture the scene - the morning of the fourteenth rolls around and you and your partner awake to the sound of birds twittering, bright February sunlight beaming through a crack in the curtains and a clear blue sky. The world just couldn't get any better. Or could it?

You rush downstairs hand in hand. Your partner hands over their present, an ornately wrapped pair of M&S slippers, and you smile, safe in the knowledge that this year, your gift beats their's hands down.

"So, what did you get me?" They ask, smiling sweetly. "You're never gonna believe this babe." You say, reaching for your PC's 'On' button. As the computer whirrs to life they begin to look bemused, in that kind of half-laughing way as if they're anticipating the denouement of some elaborate joke.

You open a browser and type your specified keyword into Google and lo and behold, there it is. Your partner's website straddling page one like some all-conquering warrior king. They gasp in amazement as you lead them through their perfectly optimised, beautifully constructed website. Gloriously worded meta tags, fields of content rich, optimised sub-pages and bespoke URLs - oh, and what's this? A sitemap to die for.

"Oh [insert name], you shouldn't have!" They squeal, throwing their arms around you. "I know babe, I know…" you mutter sweetly into their ear.

Give a fantastic gift this Valentine's Day. Give SEO.

The sad thing is that I could actually see you doing that James. Internet geekery isn't always unromantic though: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/08/marriage-proposal-in-google-street-view.html

I retract my previous statement and apologise to James unreservedly. This blog post was, in fact, my idea.
