Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

Archive for the ‘seo marketing’ Category

So does SEO really work,… really… well my seo services are the best, and proof is in the results.

to prove a point, the site below has several domain names, one domain name (URL) has the exact same onsite seo on… the old way of doing seo, but I didn’t do any off-site seo on, that domain has had only 2 sales in alltime.

Let me explain, The other domain names, are so well seo’ed off-site they show in google so highly, for many searches the first 4-6 results for relevant keywords are links to  these sites, There are a also quite a few searches where all 10 results on page 1 of google are all for this site.

the domain (url) name is showing in search results but not until the page 2 of google…

It certainly goes to show though, that SEO does in fact work. If the SEO is done correctly by me, it does work anyway.

Like I say, I’m not cheap, but I get results. Write to help1@seobycanz.com or visit my website http://getresultswithseo.com

so they do work here’s some results for one website

The $15,000 (USD) investment made in my seo services in mid March 2010 for 3 global websites, was returned in profits before the past post in June 2010,

I stopped doing SEO on this site back in Mid July 2010. I did 4 months SEO in total.
I won’t need to do anymore SEO now unless he ad’s new products, and wants more work done.

472 Different Sales until Oct 24th (yesterday) (owner doesn’t want me to update the sales, but he had a hell of a lot on those last 8 or so days November 2010)
204 Different sales September.
178 different sales August
153 different sales July
119 sales June 2010
69 sales May 2010
55 sales April 2010 (Stopped Adwords 17 April)
26 sales March 2010 (started on 17^th March)
18 sales Feb 2010
13 sales Jan 2010
13 sales Dec 2009

Now a week away from Halloween, sales are doing well. there have been many more sales in the past 16  hours, the Americans have left buying costumes in the main part until last week, and so many in the past 17 hours…
there are 65 visitors on the site right now, and orders coming n every 2-4 minutes at the moment, and the site has had over 580 so far visitors today, and it’s only4.50 am in England, where the site is, and almost 9am in California,  since sales are at 1 week away from Halloween are 472, with sale until now yesterday, I increase my prediction to 692  from 600 sales  Oct …. I’ll let you know how close I am.

below are the sales up until the time I wrote the last post.

have a good one, I’m feeling better after 3 months of illness, so will write a few posts to catch up on the blog posts over the weekend.

Lynn the Best SEO Services

I’ve had 2 SEO clients ask me within 2 days, if there’s a way to un-optimized their website. They had no idea what a difference SEO could make, and are unprepared for the influx of new business.

Another client mentioned a few weeks back that her stocks were getting very low, and she had more sold gems on her site than ones for sale, I recently went and deleted over 250 products off her site, just to help her out, she has a slow internet connection in outback Australia…

Its an interesting problem, everyone that is looking for SEO is looking for more sales, more patients, more something from their websites, but I don’t think any of my clients have thought ahead.

What is the back-up plan when the SEO really REALLY works? Ok so they could maybe handle twice or even three times as many orders, as there are now.

But what happens when the order’s have become 20 or 30 fold order’s within 3 months, when trips to the post office to post orders off, used to be a couple times a week, and are now 3, 4 or 6 times a day.

What happens if the 3 emails you receive a week asking about your services, suddenly turns into 20 a day. What happens if say a doctor’s office is used for getting say 5 or 6 new patients a month from various advertising, and suddenly it’s up to 25 one month and 55 new patients the next month, there’s still all the original patients that need seeing too, people often need to see the doctor quickly…

Have you ever thought what would happen, or have any strategy’s worked out, if suddenly your business became super successful, or are you still struggling with getting your business to pay the rent or even hosting for your website… I’d suggest you spend a little free time working on a success plan, find out who has the best parcel pick-up and delivery service, work out how long it would take to hire and train new staff members, look at the price of a bigger premises, whatever your business would need if it became successful within 2 months, plan for success|!!!

Even looking at if you want to expand your business, do you want to be bother with staff, with renting premises, or if you just want to have you business as a paying hobby, or even just an income for your family, it would still pay to think ahead, and maybe when thinking about getting SEO tell your seo what you expect, maybe the cost of the seo could be reduced.

Personally I have never heard of anyone asking their SEO to cool it or stop, although i have done it myself for our own sites, when things got to busy, most people I’ve come across are happy with a minimal increase in sales of whatever type, but with the recession, and working out some excellent SEO techniques for myself, I have begun supercharging my clients websites, maybe I’ll have to tone it down a bit myself

There’s a belief system of some group or other, that what you think about will come into being, perhaps if you plan for success you won’t even need me as your SEO lol….

Best SEO Results, from the BEST SEO!!!

Not The Cheapest SEO, I get SEO Results

SEO done right the first time

I often have people come to me unhappy with their current seo, they went to some place that you can advertise for staff or workers, made an ad, and took the lowest bid they received,
and wonder why after 8 months, they still can’t find their website in search engines or that all the visitors are coming from the wrong part of the world.

It’s no good if your business offers a local service to only San Diego Clients if your website ranks highly in India, or New York, or even Los Angles for that matter. You want your business website to reach out to clients you can sell your service to.

I say in my signature below, that I’m not cheap, but I get results, I have had mature websites, ranking in top search engine positions, within 2 days of starting their optimization. Not for every phrase, Google doesn’t go through a whole website that quickly, and thats impossible anyway, to rank highly for every single keyword, but results started appearing with 2 days. At most on a website that has been online for say at least a year, the first results start appearing in a week and usually settle down to where they are going to stay without more tweaking within 6 weeks.

I will keep taking on these unhappy seo clients, but if you are considering SEO for your website, then contact me first, I’ll save you money in the long run, because even though I cost more than someone that get’s paid $2.50 an hour, my only language is Engish, I understand the concept that it’s not just getting people to your website, you want them to do something once they are there. And I will get customers to your website, and get them ready to do something now!!!!!

SEO hints and Tips

I have recently taken on yet another SEO job, from a business that was using an Indian SEO company.

The owner decided to change SEO, because he found a website that shows where the website visitors are coming to your website from, and 98% of visitors were from Indian IP addresses…. This is a business which operates strictly in California, Texas, and Florida, although they are looking at expanding to other States in the US, but never internationally.

This business has been having the Indian “SEO team” work on his business website for several months, they charge $250 a month…. The owner sent me the last monthly report of what they had done it was about 12 pages long and looked at a glance, to someone that didn’t understand what they were reading very impressive. very impressive indeed.

HOWEVER: I looked at it, and in fact what they had supposed to have done would only take about 30 minutes to do. Let me explain.

They had changed 1 links on 7 pages, to show as bold rather than normal text. In Dreamweaver, this would take about 5 minutes, with search and replace, so the 5 minutes includes opening the program and opening the pages, changes saving and closing the pages, lets give them the benefit of the doubt and think they has slow internet and slow computers. So opening 7 pages may take the while on an old computer.

They had added the phone number to the same 7 pages meta tags, since dreamweaver is now open, as are the pages they are working on, this would only take about 1 minute.

Added alt tags to 5 images on the same page, this has to be done manually, since the wording was different, but still with copy and paste, it would only take about 10 minutes max.

Validated 4 webpages. And fixed errors, that they had made in the first place, since they built the site, I won’t even quote a time on that, because you can’t charge clients to fix mistakes you made…. well I don’t

Submitted 2 blogs to 2 blog search engines…. 5 minutes… if you are any kind of SEO you would already have the links to the submit page.

Submitted site to 30 social bookmarking sites, 10 of these sites were not written in English, so of little use. This would cost me $5 to have done.

They had 40 directory submissions done, this job a sub-contract and would cost me less than $6

Link Exchange 39 link exchanges… this is an interesting one, because I checked this site for broken links, and many of these “Link Exchanges” had broken links to them, done purposely, and

1. If you actually looked at the domain names, 25 were the same as the directory submissions above
2. a few the site didn’t even exist, something you wouldn’t notice if you didn’t check.
3. many of these places were just directory type places, and had no real website so they weren’t real link exchanges which takes a lot of time to do. so again
4. many of the real sites were again non-English sites.

Since these changes had no real value. Adding the broken links to this sites pages 15 minutes at most

really interested now, I then went on and checked the pages for the “work done”, none of the pages, and none of the work done was yet in the search engines,

So thats 30 minutes, and $11 work, now writing the report, THAT would have taken a good 2 to 3 hours to collate all the information, and get it looking good, and read 12 pages long, in a pdf…. but still the business was paying $250 a month, for 30 minutes, and $11 work

My dilemma is, should I tell the client that they have been ripped off. So what is gained by telling a client this sort of news. The client get’s upset, hell I would be, I’d be furious, so nothing gained there,

So whats in it for me if I tell client, will the client think any more of me for upsetting them?
I think not, of so will they trust me anymore, I don’t see why, it’s not good getting bad news about someone you have had a good or even an ok relationship with.

Will they pay me anymore… doubtful, why would you pay someone more for telling you you have been ripped off … so there’s nothing to gain, and really possibly a lot to lose, as the client may become distrustful of all seo’s… and hey that’s what I do, if this client was to talk about the ripoff, other people may become distrustful of SEO’s and one of them may be a future client.

I’m charging an extra $100 a month, so $350 total, and have already spent 18 hours working on the SEO for their site, 16 hours fixing broken links, and missing images, and other errors left by the previous SEO.

When I do seo on a regular monthly bases for a business, I find the best way to do the work is as soon that months payment clears, I do the work for the month, that way the SEO Services I provide, are working for the website in the search engines well before the next month payment is due, I also tend to do more SEO at the start of the contract, giving the site the best chance possible, I often do far more work than I’m paid for, and often end up getting burned, as a client then expects that to carry on.

Gosh I would give poor Mr. Google a nervous breakdown, if I carried on like a bull out of a gate. And in actual fact, you lose gains made if you start changing things you have already changed. before google has spidered it and ranked, if you don’t wait to see the results, and let the results settle down.

They say “We learn by our mistakes” I guess, although I don’t seem to. I can’t stand to see a site not reaching it’s potential. Or at least make enough changes initially get things moving in the right direction, but I need to pace myself, and just do what I’m paid for, and then when a clients see’s the results in a few months time, they can choose to increase that steady monthly payment.

Business Marketing & Website Marketing using SEO

It is possible to market your business even if you don’t have a website, however a professional looking website is your clients first introduction to your business. And is invaluable. In saying that, I was recently approached about marketing a business online without a website, and the clients were very happy with the result.

Marketing a business with a website is much, I feel effective, but it can be done without a website.

Contact me, I will give you a quote to market your business whether or not you have a website, or if you are looking for a website to be built or rebuilt, and know you it will also need to be marketed, of course I can help.

SEO hints and Tips

SEO is used to get your website in general, ranking highly in Search Engines.

I say your website in general, since a good SEO will make sure that ever page on your website, would attract visitors in for different products and or services, since it’s a well know fact that people searching for the same product or service will probably all search Google using different search phrases.

EG. I’m just starting with the optimization a website for a Dentist in Chula Vista, San Diego, CA but how would you search for his website? Or what would you put in the search engine to search. There are literally hundreds of ways it could be searched for. Think about it for a minute.

Dentist, Chula Vista
Dentist, Chula Vista, SD, CA
Dentist, Chula Vista, San Diego, CA
Dentist, Chula Vista, San Diego
Dentist Chula Vista, SD

Dentist in Chula Vista,

Dentist in Chula Vista, SD

Dentist near Chula Vista,
Dentist near Chula Vista, SD, CA
Dentist near Chula Vista, San Diego, CA
Dentist near Chula Vista, San Diego
Dentist near Chula Vista, SD

Ok, thats 15 different ways, but hang on, what abut if you wanted a specific type of dentist like a family dentist Chula Vista, or a cosmetic dentist Chula Vista when you think about it, there are thousands and thousands of ways to search for a dentist…
and if you actually searched for all these phrases, one after the other, you would often find that the results would be different, depending on the words used, what order they were in, etc.

An SEO wannabe, which most people that say they can do optimization are, would only optimize your front or home page, so maybe your website would rank well for just 1 or 2 phrase, however a good SEO would get other pages working for you. Then SEO Guru’s like me, I have every single page working for your website, each for different phrases, and use many techniques to make that happen.

Google Adwords
Google Adwords do have their place, I often suggest them when you have a new product or service you are offering and want people to know about it today, or for very very popular search phrases.
With a new Product or Service it could take a month or so to have the new page about it rank in the Search Engines highly enough to get clicks, or with very popular phrases, having google adwords, while I work on getting that page to rank higher.

It isn’t hard, just time consuming, but since I’m disabled I spend my whole day at the computer, so I have the time and know what and how to get a website to work. That’s why our Website Design San Diego website advertises Websites that Work.

We used to just build websites, but as I learn more about search engines, and how a website that wasn’t Search Engine Optimized, it meant that the site owner had to pay so much money to have the website even found, eg. various types of printed advertising, online advertising, that I decided that it was better to optimise it as part of the price of the website, some clients decide not to have their sites worked on by me, but as yet, there hasn’t been a client, that hasn’t come back within a year, and asked me to do it.

I’ve recently done a marketing study for a business that sells fish bait, looking at all forms of advertising and working out where their advertising dollar could best be spent. There were some surprising results, well surprising for the client anyway, no I must admit I was shocked at the total.

For advertising in Fishing magazines, in Yellow pages, newspapers and paid placement adverts online, the bill for a years advertising was just over $1.250,000 and even that was conservative, and at the end of that year this amount would need to be repeated.

I initially told the client before I worked out the advertising budget, that if he used 2 months of his first years advertising total on SEO, he could ensure his site would have top placement for several hundred keywords and phrases.

However, after I had worked out the advertising campaign, I revised my quote quite drastically, telling him that for just the last 5 figures, I could have his site ranking extremely highly for thousands of keywords and that once the work was done, the number of visitors visiting his site would stay basically the same, increasing more over time as the site and products got well known.

It certainly would be exciting to get an seo job, that I could work on fulltime with no limits, just to see what huge results I could get.

So if their are so many sleazy SEO out their, how do you tell them from the good ones.

1. A good SEO won’t give you a quote before they know all the details about your website and what results you want to achieve, unless that quote is for at least multiple $10,000.

2. A good SEO will usually talk in words you understand, rather than try to boggle you with geek speak.

3. A good SEO will probably ask you your budget, and work within that budget.

4. A good SEO will ask you a lot of questions, you may think some questions are odd, but the less guesswork a SEO has to do the more likely you are to get a good job.

5. A good SEO will invite you to ring them to discuss your needs. Although a lot of work from home’s myself included, don’t like to give out their home address, honest people are quite happy to give out their phone numbers… ring them, at least once to confirm that the number they gave is the correct one. A landline number is perferable over a cell phone one.

6. A good SEO will never make rash promises, like yes I can get you to #1 position especially before they have researched the phrases you are after.

7. A good SEO will always ask if they can have access to the geeky side of a website, before they give you a quote, remember this, before you get a quote, you SEO should know if they can have access to the backend of the website… this doesn’t mean that they have to be able to access it, but if they can’t the SEO work that has to be done is quite different, much more time consuming so will cost more, or the type of work they do is the sleazy type, that can be turned off if you stop paying the monthly SEO fee, that might not have been mentioned in the original quote.

8. A good SEO will always be happy to answer your questions, and will be happy for you to question them, I have had a client say they were going to contact someone that knew SEO, I gave them all my contact details to pass onto their friend. Good SEO have nothing to hide about their work.

SEO isn’t a one off thing that can be done, that works the same with every website, sure there are some things that every website needs, but each website, in my experience is unique, even two website selling the same thing.
SEO is an ongoing process, and although some SEO make one charge which includes the ongoing work, if you see or hear an SEO saying, your site will take a week or a month to do then be weary.

Ask your SEO what they are going to do to your website, then contact someone like me, offer to pay me $100 to look over their list, I promise you the $100 you pay me will be the best money you ever spend. Cause if there’s something sleazy in there, I’ll pick them up on it. Often it’s the way something is worded, not what it says that’s the tip off. And very often people that don’t speak you native language will take advantage of this.

Dear Lynn,

It has been a pleasure working with you and a much improved service from my previous website designer and SEO.

I found Lynn by doing a google search for website optimization I can’t remember the exact search I think SEO Price List, and Lynn was the top listing. I felt that if she had got herself to the top of the page under optimization she must know what she was doing.

I contacted her and she promptly replied with a reasonable quote and promised she could make the changes that were needed in a short period of time.

Over the next 3 days Lynn worked night and day on my site and was so enthusiastic about making the changes she ended up doing more than she had promised.

Lynn is constantly checking my site on a regular basis to see where we are sitting on the search engines, within 3 weeks of Lynn making her changes I have gone from about page 20 to page 2, with more changes in progress we may make page 1 by Christmas.

I would recommend Lynn to anybody wanting efficient, fairly priced service with a personal enthusiasm to your company.

Thank you Lynn for all your hard work, it is paying off and improved my business 100 percent.

Thanks

Well thank you, Nicky, I’ve enjoyed every minute of getting your site to where it is, and where it will be for months, years…….
I just checked the word boxes and it’s at #6 on page 1 of google.co.nz “the Web” search and #8 on page 1 for “Search New Zealand”

That’s darn good, I’m so good… hehehe…. that particular keyword wasn’t anywhere in the first 1000 results when I started, and ranking so well for a single keyword is really good. And of course you know about all the key phrases that are at at #1

I’ve done some more work on that word today, so it should come up a little higher yet. I will be interested to see where your site is by April next year as well.
