Matt Cutts from google, talks about how :link engine doesn't work

Matt Cutts from google was talking recently about how googles :link search didn't work, I though he made some good points, this was my reply. If the :site search is random then why are the results of a search, always the same for a particular, except when a new one appears of course? What makes some links always appear for a particular site and not others, and why whenever I blog about a site, does my blog ALWAYS show and stay as a backlink....in a :link search??? me thinks there's more to the :link search than meets the eye, I have never worked out what it is in particular, and many times it doesn't make sense at all, The one thing I agree with Matt is that if Google told what these links represented, then everyone would spam them. I see a definite link between the number of back links in :link search and pagerank, but don't understand why some links in that search appear rather than others from the same site.

Remember this post I made ages ago about Bruce Clark or Clarke of Aotea Hosting, well he's got himself on TV in New Zealand for abusing a client, Bruce is a lose canon, this is a post I made on a forum, which sort of said it all. I've added a little more to the story on this post Hi, I'm now living in the States, but we or have had a really bad bad experiences with this guy Bruce Clarke from Aotea Hosting, when I lived in New Zealand, read more about Bruce Clark at Aotea web hosting here http://canzdesign.blogspot.com/search/label/Bruce%20Clark Regards Lynn Brown Regards Lynn International SEO based in Hillcrest, San Diego, Southern California

Many Domain names urls for one website

Many websites have more than one url or domain name, there are several reasons for this, one is because a company might want to own all the different domains for the name of their business, eg. The website and business Canz Design I co-owned with my wife specializes in web design in Hillcrest San Diego

1. http://canzdesign.com The original web design business name. Then we brought
2. http://canzdesign.co.nz For our New Zealand Branch of the web and graphic design business, and because we lived in New Zealand when we started the business. There have been a couple of other names since but we have always stayed with Canz Design as a base. recently we brought
3. http://sefscms.com because we sell a Search Engine Friendly System, Content Management System, and SEFSCMS.com the acronym is of this product.
4. There are a couple of other domains names we just letting sit and age, that I have a use for up my sleeve

canzdesign.blogspot.com Which started being a blog about Web Design first , but since I write the blog posts, and only know about SEO, ended up being a blog about SEO. Then my other website that just specializes in SEO has several names,

1. SeobyCanz.com
2. SEOByCanz.INFO
3. GetResultsWithSEO.com
4. ThisSSEOGetsResults.com
5. And about 3 or 4 other names, that are just there to mature.

http://seointernetmarketingseo.blogspot.com I have just started because the original canzdesign blog had too much seo in it, and this name is better suited to that the seo subject since SEO is really marketing a website. I will be also buying another 10 or seo names soon, for various projrcts I have planned in the near future. Other website owners have many domain names that are quite different and often contains the product or services the businesses the offers for sale, I know of one site that has at least 30 different names, many of them being country specific domain names.

Getting on Google - Getting Your Website on Google2

In my last post about getting on Google, I posted it before I was finished writing it something came up, anyway I'm back to post more. In the meantime I had a good comment for the last post. In the comment he referred to an SEO business he had found that that had given him an affordable price, and touched base daily. I'll look at affordable prices first, affordable is a relative term, what I consider affordable you may consider cheap, what you consider affordable, I may consider cheap. I have given quotes from $100 a month, to $11,000 a month, it goes without saying that the progress is slower for $100 a month. And $11,000 a month is almost a full time job. Getting on Google could be a lot less or a lot more expensive than you would think. I always ask a client to give me some sort of idea what their budget is, as it's no good giving a quote for $11,000 or even $1000 a month if their budget is only $250 a month. It's far less time consuming to just make the quote for what is in their price range. So if you want to Get on Google, use the contact details below, give me an idea of your budget, and I'll see what I can do for your business website within the budget you have given. It might be of interest, that the client that is paying $11,000 doesn't even reply to m emails tell him how well his site is doing each month, whereas the client that's paying $250 a month, writes most days to tell me how many sales she has had, and what is generally happening with the business. Contact me at help1@seobyCanz.com and discuss your requirements if you want to be getting on Google with your website. SEO Services San Diego Best Regards Lynny SEO

Links Directory's do NOT raise your Google page rank

It is a common disbelief that adding your website to directories all over the web will raise your own sites pagerank. Especially if those directories have high page rank themselves. This for the main part is NOT true, it doesn't matter how high a directory's pagerank is, but the time it get's to a level where your site is listed, the age rank is zero, and will never get any higher. There are a few directories that have been around for years, that are worth adding your site to like dmoz but the rest of them, and programs like the pageranksubmit.com are a waste of money, if all you want to do is raise your page rank. See this is genearlly how pagerank seems to work the home page of a site will have the highest page rank, links off that homepage, that are links that don't use javascript or flash, have a page rank one point lower than the home page, and then pages off these pages that aren't using javascrip or flash to make the links have a page rank of 2 less than the home page, this is generally how it works, unless the second level of pages have a large amount of links, which directory's do then the pagerank is lost by the second page, and often you have to click in 5 or 6 links deep before you get to a place to add your website. There is no page rank there, and if there's no page rank on the page your link is on, then it doesn't have any effect on your pagerank. So don't waste your money paying a high rice for directory submissions to directories with high page rank, usually the reason they have high page rank, is becuase they have used code, stopping the page rank from draining into links inside their site. Just use a cheap directory subbmission place, this one charges only 14 cents per submission, and yes it's a affliate link but I only recommend products that I use, and this is one of the few things I do use. http://www.directorymaximizer.com/af.php?af=7046&ad=5&p=1 SEO Services San Diego Contact Me directly.

SEO done right the first time SEO Do it RIGHT!!!!

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 Services San Diego Contact Me directly. Lynny help1@seobyCanz.com

Google Sitemap & Yahoo Sitemap how much should they cost

One of my clients emailed me this morning, upset that this SEO place in Washington had emailed him saying he needed a Google Sitemap & Yahoo Sitemap, and they offered the service of making them and doing the initial registration. They are charging something like $375 for this service of making a google sitemap and a yahoo sitemap and registraion this should cost about $50. To make a google or yahoo site map takes not more than 5 minutes, theres a program you can run that collects all the urls on your website, and the registration should be done by the owner of the website, or a trusted SEO, because that gives the person that did the registration access to confidential information about your website. This doing the registration for you particularly concerns me, becasue with a google site map in particular the information google is now offering is pretty outstanding. It's telling you how many searches your site is appearing, and how your site ranked in these searches. So really with this type "professional" that uses "Indian SEO type client finding techniques" who's making you pay for $375 for something that should cost about $50 at most, and this person would have access to your website statistics, and therefore could get in touch again, saying, oh you really need this type or that type of SEO done, probably link building, and looking at their site I see they charge $3500-$3000 per month for a link building campaign, thats pretty good pay for one link building tech, I don't charge anything like that for a monthly SEO campaign. A website can never have enough links to it, never, but there does come a time when the site has enough to go one with, and people start emailing you and asking for links, thats when I stop doing links, becuase the job is time consuming and getting one good link can take hours out of a monthly SEO campaign. I offer link building as part of my monthly seo packages. Sure I wouldn't give you hundreds of one way links or recip links, but google get's suspicious when a lot of links appear to a website all of a sudden, it's better to have say 10 good links rather than 500 crappy ones a month. Anyway, just be careful if you get an email from this place in Washington or anywhere, thats offering Google SiteMaps and Yahoo Sitemaps for $375, the aren't offering anything except a way to get more seo work from you for themselves. In fact, they would do well to actually offer this service free, considering the information they would then have about your website. I'll paste the email they sent below, so hopefully you will do a search and find this blog post, before getting caught up in this scam, obviously I changed the links in the email. As I was on http://www.SEObyCanz.com this morning, I was unable to locate a "Google Sitemap file" on your website. I am not referring to a regular "site map" for people to visit online, but rather to a script which helps Google to read and index your website's overall content. I advise you to visit us online where we explain clearly what a "Google Sitemap file" is and what you need to do to get one: http://www.ripoffseoGoogle and Yahoo-Sitemaps.com/sitemap A Sitemap file is a "code" placed in the root directory of your website which captures all the crucial information about your website, thus facilitating the crawling and indexing process for Google.

Google SEO I SEO for Google

Catering to Google when I do SEO on a website. Always, when I do SEO on a website I cater to Google, and only to Google. Years ago I also used to work with yahoo, but found after a year of doing SEO for yahoo and Google equally, I found that the number of visitors to the site approximately 580 visitors came through Google searches to every 1 through yahoo. So I switched to spending all my time doing SEO for Google, and within 5 months visitors have quadrupled from Google. Every now and again a client will insist on their site being optimised for Yahoo, and the stats have changed, now for every 500 searches finding the site using Google, between 3-10 visitors come through Yahoo. Because I don't usually optimise for Yahoo, it doesn't mean that Yahoo doesn't pick up the site, often in fact Yahoo has indexed as many pages as Google has, but search results don't tend to be that high compared to google, unless of course you pay to have your pages indexed by yahoo then things change, but still not enough to warrant the cost, but the SEO I do for the main part, is done in a way that when I finish doing the SEO the sites owner doesn't have to keep paying for adverts everywhere, the results in Google will stay pretty much as they are as when I finish.

Website Builders Hillcrest, San DieGo, CA, Anywhere

Website Builders, or people that build websites usually refer to themselves as website designers, yet actually this isn't strictly correct, there are several steps to building a website, and web design, and website building are two very different steps. Web Design = Designing what the website will look like, the banner, where the menu's will be, how the page will be laid out, again the look of a website. This is often done by the webdesigner making pictures of various pages, and showing the client to get their approval. You should not judge a website designers abilities, by the sites they have in their portfolios, as often they build attractive design, and the owner wants some quite different, I haven't ever met a website designer, that has not left many debsite designs out of their portfolio, because of the owners input, making the site unattractive. Website Builders = They take the website design and make it work, this is also called web development or website development, but generally what they do is build the design into a website. Most of the very best website builders, don't have good website design skills and neither web designers or website builders are very good with people, well they are, but tend to be a bit geeky, and tend to only speak in geekspeak. Canz Design, Website Design & Web Building Company, based in Hillcrest San Design, and works with clients worldwide. I'm part owner of Canz Design, but don't have anything to do with website design or building, apart from giving my opinion, I leave that to the experts, I specialize in making websites findable in search engines using the techniques generally known as SEO or Search Engine Optimization. I also work with clients when the aren't sure what they need in a website, the just know they need a website, I listen to what they want, and explain how that might happen, giving them options, and my opinion of the best way to acheive their requirements. I have a nack for thinking outside the square, and think laterally and horozontally when required. The often say that with my help, they don't feel like an idiot when then replying to the design, and builder who tend to be a bit geeky. I often get urgent emails or phone calls, when our clients start working with the design or website building person asking what something or other means.

Indian SEO's You don't even get what you pay for

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, but not 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 rather impressive. 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 pages to be changed. 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. Validated 4 webpages. And fixed errors, that they had made in the first place, I won't even uote a time on that, because you can't chanrge 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 subcontract and would cost me $10 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 So thats 30 minutes, and $15 work, now writing the report, THAT would have taken a good 2 to 3 hours to colate 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 $15 work I'm charging an extra $100 a month, so $350 total, and have already spent 8 hours working on the SEO for his site, 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 they SEO services I provide, are working for the website before the next month payment is due.

Spoke seems to be a ripoff

Well I signed up with Spoke, but it seems you find out after jumping through all their hoops, that the only way to do anything is to pay for it.... Darn, I NEVER pay for anything online, until I see what they really have to offer, there are just too many ripoff places out there, and my feeling is, if you can't even have a few days free full membership, to see whats for offer, then it isn't worth paying for, cause they are hiding something.

Anyway, I wrote a pretty good intro, so thought I would post it here, so you can read a bit more about me and what I so.

Hi
My name is Lynn, I live, breath and dream SEO. (Making websites rank highly in search engines, ensuring people looking for your products or services can find your site)

I'm disabled, and spend most of my awake time in front of a computer, and my policy is better to be doing something, than sitting watching TV. My life and business partner builds and develops websites so we make a dynamic duo.

I also have a policy, of not working with any website that is in direct competition with any site I have done SEO on, either presently or in the past. I figure there are plenty of different businesses out there, I don't need to double up. Since many of the business I work with are aiming at the local market, then working with another business in another area of the country wouldn't make it competition.

I've been doing SEO since before I knew it had a name, and have worked on several websites in the past 7 years I have been doing SEO professionally.

At present, I'm working on a websites for the following businesses one selling Soft Fish Bait, and Helicopter Adventure Company, and a home business selling breastfeeding products, all in New Zealand

A site Selling Gemstones in outback Australia

A  Website Design Business, a Dentist in Chula Vista  All based in San Diego

So what?s your business? How is your website doing in search engine ranking or search engine results, are you getting the attention/sales/inquiries you thought you would from your website?

As you can see I am working with many types of businesses and companies, making their website show highly in search engines.
So if you want your website to get more visitors, but more importantly your website to get visitors that are actually looking for your products, then contact me. I?m the person that will do it.

Meta tags or No Meta tags

SEO professionals fall on different sides of the fence on this question, some believe meta tags are not required, as search engines don't use them. This is not true, the truth is meta tags, especially the keyword meta tag has been used incorrectly, or spammed over the years, as have description meta tags, or the meta tags are exactly the same on every page, which renders them useless. Google has tried to overcome these badly written meta tags, so sites won't be so affected by them. However if a website has well thought out meta tags, they will always rank better in the SERP's if that is the only difference in the algorithm. So if meta tags are used correctly, they work very well, adding precious keywords to your webpage and it's search engine algorithm. I find it interesting that when I visit a website of an seo that says meta tags aren't of use anymore, often their own meta tags are badly written if they are there at all!!! The problems with not witting meta tags is if the search engine has noting to read, it will read the first thing on the page, which is more often than not the menu, and you will get something like this showing up in the description in a search..... 4 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09. © Copyright .

Using Google Adwords vs SEO

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 Deigo, 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 Deigo Dentist Chula Vista, SD Dentist in Chula Vista, Dentist in Chula Vista, SD, CA Dentist in Chula Vista, San Diego, CA Dentist in Chula Vista, San Deigo 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 Deigo 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 Deigo 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.

SEO Reference. A satisfied SEO client

A new client wanted references from past clients, this was one he was sent, and I thought I would share what was said about my SEO Consultancy Skills

SEO with Lynny from www.canzdesign.com 1. How long have you used the service? Since August 2008 2. What is your average monthly site traffic. My traffic has really increased over the past few months, and I’m getting just under 10,000 unique visitors a month. Before any of the SEO work started, I was getting about 6,000 visitors per month. 3. What is your average monthly amount of only inquiries? Very few of “only inquiries”. Most of the people that visit my site purchase products from me directly on the website – they don’t do an enquiry first. The first point of contact I get from people is the sale. This is better for me, as it means that less time is taken up answering enquiries and emails. As of January 2009, I am getting about 3 times increase in sales per week compared to before the SEO started. 4. In what search engines do you rank well and what are some of your page ranks in the SE's? well in the google search engine which everyone uses, my products come up in first or second position. This is true for the majority of the products that I sell, and the keywords that we have been targeting. The site also shows up in other search engines of course too. I have stopped using the Google Adwords campaign now, as that was getting redundant because my pages are showing at the top I don’t need to pay for the adwords at the side of the page. Before we started the SEO work, my page rank was 1. I have had my site for four years, and it was only page rank 1. Canzdesign just emailed me last week with the good news that the Page Rank is now 4, and many of the internal pages within my website also have their own page rank. 5. Do you know of other companies that have successfully used her services? No I don’t know of them personally, but I have seen some of the work they have done. 6. What else can you tell me about Canzdesigns that would be helpful? I was initially very cautious about starting any SEO work, I was hesitant about doing something that I did not really understand. The help and support I have received from Canzdesigns has been astounding, and I am already seeing a huge improvement in my sales revenue, and of course page rank etc. To me, the sales revenue is the main thing that I needed to increase, and that has already happened. Its only been a few months, so I am getting ready for a big year! The support that I have received from Canzdesign has often extended beyond our SEO contract. And they are always quick to reply to emails and be available. The price is totally reasonable as well. I highly highly recommend CanzDesign SEO. Best wishes Name and Contact details removed at Writers Request because of Spam and Nasty Tactics from a woman that thinks shes one of the Writers Competitors Truth is, the other tart, doesn't have a hope in hell of getting the anywhere near a competitor, Hi it's Lynny again. Let me first explain, I didn't do any seo work for this client, I was her SEO consultant and explain her website statistics to her each month. I can't take all the credit for how Frances' Breastfeeding Products Online Store howw her Site is Ranking in Search Engines, well I can.... but also the work that she has put into her site is a real credit to her as she said she was already getting 6000 unique (visitors to the site that haven't been there before) so 6000 unique visitors before I started. Her total number of visitors is of course much higher again, but that's because she offers a great service and her clients are coming back. I have made suggestion for all sorts of changes to her website, and the next day, she has made the changes and asking about what else she could do. She had already started a Breastfeeding Blog and only made a few posts, once I explained the best way to use a blog, she went ahead and has made 230 posts in her blog in 4 months, which are resulting in over 1200 visitors going to her website after reading her blog posts. I just did a check yesterday, 2864 different keywords and keyphrases have been used to find her website in search engines so far this month, that's a lot of different ways people have searched for her breastfeeding products. Looking at the top 200 keywords people used to find her website, only 16 keywords didn't rank on the 1st page of google search results, 150 of those 200 keywords were all in the top 5 positions in Google search results, and just over 100 where number #1 on Page 1 of google. I know what I have said is a bit geeky, but basically Frances Online Breastfeeding Products Store was doing pretty well in search engines before I started being her SEO consultant, so although she's only getting an extra 4000 visitors to her website, she's getting more sales than she was, and making international sales were one of the major objectives when she requested my SEO services re: SEO Consultancy.

SEO Link Words to your website

If you do a search for the two words Click Here in google and probably all search engines, the adobe pdf reader download page will rank #1. Yet no where on the actual page are the words click here mentioned. So how does it rank #1. How indeed.... it's from the millions of websites that tell people to Click Here to download the PDF reader. This just shows how links to your site, or the words in those links can rank your site for keyword that aren't even mentioned in the conventional places on a well optimized website. The problem of cause is how many links you would have to have around the internet to rank well for any set phrase. But for instance if I link to Best SEO in San Diego or San Diego's best SEO and then have those words in the conventional places a well optimized website has it's keywords, the number of times you have to have links containing the keywords, must be less. I don't know how many links using your keywords you might need, it really does depend on each websites competition, and the pagerank and number of links they have, but it would be many 100 less links, don't you think.

SEO Costs Why SEO is a good investment

SEO Services in San Diego. I've recently done a marketing study for a business that sells soft 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.

WEBSITES NEEDS SEO

A study done in July 2008 by TMP Directional Marketing showed that slightly more people were now using the internet to search for local businesses than using the printed yellow pages.

This is a big change as yellowpages have always ruled for local businesses. The study also showed that people preferred to actually purchase the product offline, which was a bit of a surprise for me, but with problems with secure websites or lack of secure websites, I guess I can see that although people found the product they wanted online, they prefer to go to their local store to buy it.

his development though begs the question should businesses that only cater to local clients spend more money on SEO rather than adding shopping carts to their websites. Sure display your product range and prices, but if your site can't be found in search engines, then your website is perhaps a waste of time, unless of course you are happy to keep paying for advertising showing your url or something like google adwords.

Many business owners don't understand that SEO costs less than even a ½ page advertisement on a newspaper, and once SEO is done, it keeps working month after month, whereas a newspaper add is disposed of within a day or to.

I must admit I haven't priced yellow pages printed ad's here in San Diego, and yellowpages are kept unlike newspapers, but still yellowpages only last for a year, SEO is forever.

Sure as your competitors get their websites SEOed you may have to get your SEO to update your website.

I maybe one of the last SEO's that actually refuse to work on a competitors website, although realistically I could, and just make sure they don't compete for the exact same keywords and phrases.

More people search in search engines than in Yellow Pages

A new study done in July 2008 by TMP Directional Marketing, shows that more people are now using Search Engines to find out about local businesses and what they have to offer than looking in the printed Yellow Pages. This is the first time ever, and certainly shows a trend, that people should note. Contact Me directly. Lynny help1@seobyCanz.com

Hillcrest SEO San Diego

Have my first SEO job in Hillcrest, San Diego as an SEO, I've been here since the 15th Sept, and spent the first week getting used to the different weather in the United States and getting used to the different life here. Found the job on craigslist, I love that place, could quite easily spend the whole day there. After writing this post, I'm going to make a few posts of my own, and look for more work both webdesign and SEO work here in San Diego. I have to say I love Hillcrest, being in a suburb that has so many openly gay businesses is a very new experience for me. It's really cool to see males and females walking around holding hands without feeling they have to be careful whose around. I'm really going to enjoy being the official Hillcrest SEO :) Lynny help1@seobyCanz.com > SEO & Graphic Design Website Best SEO Blog SEO hints
