We no longer optimize web sites that we did not build. Most people contact me with web sites that are not properly constructed for the search engines or web sites that have been blacklisted because of spamming. I am just too busy to keep explaining to people how the search engines work when most people never listen to me anyway. Manipulating keywords on a web site is a very small part of proper traffic generation. SEO has zero value if your web site is not properly constructed for the search engines.
If you want a web site that gets as much traffic as possible for the amount of demand for your products, services and location, then please ask me for a quote.
Warning:
I don't want to sound arrogant but the fact is 99% of people that call themselves professional SEO providers have no idea what they are doing and I see so many people throw their money away on these jokers. Most web designers don't know how to optimize web sites either or they just don't care. To make things worse, now that the economy has slowed down there is a tsunami of unemployed people who have read generic optimization tips off the Internet and are calling themselves SEO experts. Some use sleazy scare tactics by saying your web site is ranked 965,098 and is nowhere to be seen. Actually, being ranked 965,098 is excellent for a small business. That means you are getting around 1200 page views per day.
Another sleazy tactic is they say they can't find you in the top 100. This is just so stupid. Out of the millions of possible combinations of words they picked a term without consulting you and say they can't find your web site. Does it make sense to search on "Purple Baby Bottles" and then tell a fishing lodge owner in Saskatchewan that his web site is nowhere to be seen in a sleazy attempt to get cash?
The worst is the $500 guys. They are just con artists from Nigeria or Somalia. They say they will optimize your web site and put you at the top of Google for $500. In actual fact they never touch your web site. They just take your money. They change their web site and contact information every week to stay ahead of the law.
If you have been ripped off or you are in a desperate situation and need a real SEO professional, I recommend contacting Submit Express.
