Organic SEO vs PPC

I am currently being courted by someone wanting SEO done (maybe), they currently spend $1000 a month on PPC and have been for over 2 years, and never had a sale and you can't find the site in the SERP's except for either the businessname or obscure key phrases.

I'm suggesting that they use the money they are spending on PPC on organic SEO... Organic SEO is ranking well in search engines naturally....

... the client to be is dithering, thinking that at least the site is getting about 500 visitors regularly... and can't seem to understand... yet, that maybe a month or 2 with few visitors is worth it is if then the site ranks well in the search engines naturally without having to pay PPC forever more.

How long does seo take? San Diego SEO

How Long does SEO Take? That's a reason question, unfortunately the answer is it all depends.

First do you mean

How long does SEO take to DO?

In other words, if you hire an seo to do your seo, how long will it take for them to their magic tricks?
This really depends on your SEO budget, how skilled your SEO is, and how often google and other search engines are visiting your site.... and if your site is search engine friendly in the first place.

With my clients, I generally start on the SEO fairly quickly, I do basic SEO, things that will make the search engines take notice, and start looking around the site more frequently, while the search engines are doing their thing, I do research finding out what are the best SEO strategy's for this particular site considering the budget. And implement those strategy's which use the budget in the best way.
then if the clients budget allows I will carry on with the SEO making the website rank well permanently for highly sort after keyphrases.

So the answer is, A few days from when the SEO starts, for basic seo.

How long does SEO take to WORK?

For the seo work to start to appear in search engine rankings, can take anything from a few hours, to a few weeks, a lot depend on how often search engines are visiting the site, and if the navigation within the site is search engine friendly. (that's one reason I make quick changes, so I can see google progress through a site)
I'm working on a site at the moment, it has over 300 pages, and yet google has only found 7 pages for a sitewide change I made over a week ago, just as a test. Obviously something is very wrong.

The problem is, the first results in search engines aren't final. So if you have SEO done and your site ranks #3 within a few days, then chances are that ranking will only maintain for a short while, it depend a lot on how popular the keywords are you are wanting to rank highly for.

In saying above I have worked on sites that don't want to rank for competitive keywords, or are niche sites, and their sites have ranked well quickly and stayed ranking highly for one phrase, we then branched out and started working on different keywords.

Great SEO what can you expect from SEO

Many times prospective clients expect a lot from SEO, yet don't consider it is worth much paying for.

It is possible, I have done it several times, to have not only 1 of a sites pages listed at say #1 on the search results page, but also if enough is invested in a good SEO like me, to also have say 9 or 10 results on the first page of google search results, or any search engine for that matter.

At present, doing a search for

seo hillcrest san diego

the first result for the map is our site then the next 11 results under the map are also for our SEO services here in San Diego. I could have done the SEO in such a way as to have 4 or 5 listings in the map section of the search, but didn't want to be greedy... :)

A search for
seo hillcrest
we have 9 out of the first page of results,

seo services hillcrest
we take the first 8 rankings, as we do for hillcrest seo, SEO Services San Diego,

And many searches for combination's of above we have at least 4 often 6 results on the first page of google search results, and if I'm very honest, I spend very little time doing out own seo anymore. If i worked on it more, I could rank highly for just
SEO San Diego
but I'm happy with 3rd in the map section and 3rd 4th and 5th in the natural or organic seo results.

Website Selling Gemstones, Rebuild and move to SEO friendly Website

A website selling gemstones the owners live Sapphire Australia has been a webdesign client and seo client for many years, the owner recently decided to move their site to our new cms website that is seo friendly, so search engines will rank it better than they already do.

The owner has always been able to add more gemstones or remove sold ones, but with the move she will now find it easy enough to edit her pages as well.

Upgrading the database that runs the site, will mean the webpages themselves are much more seo friendly, this site already ranks highly on page 1 of google for many keywords about the products they sell, and this will only make them rank even better quite possibly for 1000's of different keywords.

Way to go gemhunters, will be fun to be helping you to move.

Realestate agents SEO and website redesign san diego

I was approached recently by a realestate agent in San Diego, he wanted a quote to do seo on his website.

Looking at his site, he used a hinky search for homes in the San Diego county area, or it might be all area's depending on the search made, this hinky search created "page not found" 404 pages that were riddled through search engine results, the site visitors well 90% of them left the site immediately...
the site itself was built on some program that was supposed to be something that "All realestate agents" used, and generally looked like a home built site built on some crappy frontpage type web editor.

Logining into the editor for the site, it was one of the worst CMS websites I had ever seen, and I have seen some bad ones.

It's beyond me how the company that makes this website gets away with it's changes of $35 a month to many many realestate agents to use this program, that incorporates this hinky home search.

I guess it must have been a good marketing team at the web design place, that must have written to all realestate agents in at least San Deigo and told them all they had this website especially designed for real estate agents, these real estate agents must have all decided to use this crappy website....

So whats wrong with the site or right with it...
Well there's very little right with it at all, the eaisest part of the admin area is to login it all goes down hill from there.... the pages are differcult to edit, you can't delete old pages you no longer want it seems, adding any new aps also seems impossible.

The funny or really the sad thing is, although the San Diego home search isn't a bad search, it's actually the way it's inserted into the site itself that creates these 404 pages, it would be a piece of cake to add to a new CMS, hell I could do it, it just means adding a few lines of code to a site... in the correct place, and I don't build websites, but if real estate agents looked a little furthur afield they could have nice looking and acting websites that that had the search with it.

I told this real estate agent, that rather than try to fix the site he had, he'd be better to rebuild, the new site would be search engine friendly right from the start, and only need some minor tweaking to have it ranking highly in search engines, for hundreds of relevant searches.

He couldn't see how, I explained that since so many realestate agents used the same website program, that was such SEO unfriendly webpages, a well optimised website would rule over other real estate websites.

I quoted him $3500 for a new site redesign for 60 odd pages, plus extensive seo, and offered that he could pay the site off over 6 months.... at which he said that no real estate agent would ever consider paying that much for a website, or seo.... he couldn't seem to understand that it was for a professional website and professional SEO.

So if theres another realestate agent in San Diego, but really anywhere really that would like a a website design or redesign or website makeover, and wants their new website to rank better in search engines, contact us, we'll do the site for $1500 down, and $350 a month for the following 6 months.

If you are a realestate agent reading this post, and is considering a website rebuild and has less webpages write to me, and we could discuss a different payment option.

Rebuild Redesigning a website old tired outdated website

Did you at first build your website in frontpage? Did you build your website yourself, not sure of it's value to your business? Is your website out of date? is your website built in html, and now it's grown so much, and your business has grown, that you need an easier/quicker way to make changes?

Rebuilding or redesigning a website can be a big decision, with many questions? I'll write some questions I have been asked out and give replies, as often people might be worried about things that aren't a problem.

Do I get to keep the same domain name if I rebuild my site? YES

Can I stay with the same Host if I rebuild my website? YES

I want to move my website host, can you do that? YES if you are sick of your old webhost, or think you are paying too much for web hosting, we can suggest another one if you are paying more than $10 a month where you could host as many websites and blogs as you like, for $9.95 a month or $100 a year. We are very experienced at moving websites, you website will not be offline at all, one second it will be your old website the next it will be your new one. You can of course find your own new webhost if you would like.

Will all the page names stay the same? YES if you would like them too, often with an older site links have been made to a site and to a specific page name, and you don't want to lose that link, so keeping old page names is important. If on the other hand you are wanting to make your site more search engine friendly, page names can be changed, and instant redirects can be set up.

Will old links from forums and blogs etc still work? YES

Will my site be offline while you rebuild? NO We rebuild the site on our host usually, and when it's all done, we move it to your host, so the longest your site will be down in a few minutes with the change over.

Can you add a blog to my website? Sure, that's easy, and wouldn't even charge you to do it, we do charge a fee to make the blog look like your website, if you want to.

I already have a blog can you add it to my website? YES. It's usually quite easy to do?

Can you make new pages or change the text/pictures on exsisting pages while you are redesigning? YES No problem at all.

The words and pictures on my website are good, I just want new look will you do that? YES Often people like the same wording, maybe in a different font and the layout of pictures and wording changed.

The wording on my website is terrible, I want professional words written, can you organise that? YES, we have two content writters we work with, one write excellent sales copy, the other writes fine articles and informational type webpages, but writer write on any subject required(Bothe writers are natural English Speakers)

I want a blog, but can't write a good article, can you organise a writer for regular blog posts. YES. The article or informational writer we have would be happy to write and post articles to a blog on a regular basis. At the time of writing this blog post, she is writing for 3 blog owners, a dentist, a realestate agent, both one blog post a week, and a site selling fish bait one short post ever 3-4 days.

Can you make my blog look like my website? YES...

I'd like to start a newsletter, can you add a newsletter program to our site? YES We recommend a newsletter program that is easy to use, and is designed to look like any website, it even stores old newsletters online if you would like.

If you have any other questions, just write at the email below.

Cheap websites are they worth it?

Cheap websites are you considering getting one? I have suggested before you would be wise to get a cheaper website, and spend more on SEO, but there's cheap and then there's cheap.

Cheap websites can look very nice and professional, but they have their problems, that are worth considering before you decide to steam ahead and get a website for $400-$800.

Indian web site designers, generally make a very cheap website, mainly because all they are doing is using a ready made site, and adding the content, it's when you want customizations after the web site building has become that problems start. And a $500 website can quickly turn into a $2000 + website.

I have seen or heard about this happening time and again. Something that is actually a very simple change in a website will suddenly cost an outrageous amount. The worst case I was witness to, and a really mean worst, was a change that ended up costing $50 with another php developer, was quoted as costing $20,000, the thing was the email these Indian web design people sent, made the cost seem very feasible, if you didn't know how websites actually worked.

Another trick is to quote for a very cheap website, which is quickly built, then while working out the specifics or customizations the price climbs and climbs, but you are already so far into the project, you usually can't back out, or want to start all over again. For the most part Indian website developers will seem very very worthy of your custom, they will ring you up and talk to you for long periods of time, write very long and involved emails, making the simple seem an evolved.

With our small website design team they know that changes or new ideas will happen as the site takes shape, there's a certain amount out give and take, and defiantly big changes are at in line the original design and building price. Changes after the site is online are made quickly, and one instance of pricing, for the price of a new page the price drops after the 3rd page is done after the site goes live.

Also all our websites are built with the idea that more pages will/may be added later, so menu's etc are set up in such a way that adding a new page to a menu takes is easy, and does not include rebuilding the whole menu layout and workings.

Contact a professional webdesign business like Canz Design, www.canzdesign.com and get a reasonable price website, arrangements can be made in to pay off the site, and we will definatly be here, to happily and QUICKLY to make changes or add pages years after we have finished. We have a very small team and work long hours, and your business is always important to us.

How long does seo take to work? How many months does SEO take?

So how long does it take for SEO to work?

How many months does SEO take?

When can I expect SEO to start working?

These are all valid questions, it seems that every seo website you go to will say a different thing.... the plain truth is,

If a website has been online for a few months, and if the search engines have found and indexed your site, SEO will start working within a few days, from the SEO finishing the initial SEO, the best result I ever have had was 32 hours .... yes... thirty two hours from when I did the initial SEO, results started showing in search engines.

This site I'm talking about did not show in google search results for any phrase at a spot less than 70th place. The site had been online for 2 years, and had had no visitors at all through search engines.

I started working with the website as soon as I had the information to login to the site the same day the payment check cleared, I did some basic on the 10 main pages, just to say, hey google watch out Lynny's from Canz SEO extraordinaire is on the job, and went to bed.... well come on it was late, the owner didn't said me the login info until after midnight... ok so I went to bed,

I then spent the next day 20 hours researching what words would be the most effective, for this website, and though, whoops I forgot to to run my little programs that give me a baseline to work with, so I worked out a list of 50 keywords and ran the program while I was doing the last of the research. By the time the baseline program I used was finished it was almost 32 hours since I had done some very basic seo.... and to my amazment 10 keywords were ranking in google in the top 3 positions. One set of keywords for each page I did.

I have to admit thats the quickest I had every seen changes actually get into google search results... but then I had never checked that early before.

Ever since, many times with an existing site I have checked after 2 days and results are starting to be listed in google, it like with a old website google is just aching to rank it better, but can't if it's not optimised, but once it is, google likes to give almost instant gratifaction.

SEO services, Good San Diego SEO Services

The majority of a good seo's work is research, finding out what are the best words to optimize a website for, often the results are quite stunning, and results I would never have thought of personally.

Take the industry I'm in for example. SEO, seo is one of the hottest industries on the internet behind adult or sex industry sites, so what would be the most searched for words or this seo industry would you think?

organic seo company
seo business
seo services

seo company

seo service


Well if you go to google adword keyword picker, and check what top phrase being paid for it's

organic seo company

you have to pay over $12 per click to appear between 1st and 3rd in the adword results, so you may think that is the most searched for, since adwords users pay so much for the phrase.

At the same time the phrase,

SEO services

only costs just over $6.00 per click, so you may deduce from that that seo services isn't that much in demand.

Thats makes sense doesn't it? It costs less that half as much to rank highly in the top places for SEO Services, so it can't be a very popular keyphrase right?

So do you agree? If you do, you would do well to contact me, and have me work for you to help you choose your keywords, since seo services is searched for approx 57 more times than organic seo company if you investgrate furture at the same place, and with even more investagating will say that in fact globally SEO services is actually searched for 431 times more often than organic seo company,

So why on earth would anyone pay twice as much to rank highly in adwords for a phrase that hardly anyone actually searches for.


The trick is you don't, google just tries to trick you into doing that... you just have to know where to look to find out approximate search volumes...

and think about this, a business that is paying over $12.00 for the keyphrase
organic seo company what sort of seo company can they be, if they didn't work out they didn't have to pay that much for a pay per click program... the overall meaning for organic seo is seo that means you don't have to use pay per click, your webpages rank highly in search engines naturally or organically and they are using pay per click to try to get their clients....

If an SEO company can't even get it together to work out their own seo, how could they possibly do it for any other business.

Internal Linking, linking within your own site

I've recently taken part in a conversation about internal linking, and thought I would share that conversation with you.

Internal linking is like it sounds, is linking within pages of the same site.

Oliver another group member, was saying that internal linking was important, but it had to be done the right way, and not just willy nilly, and linking from brown shoes to a brown truck isn't as worthwhile as linking brown shoes to a page with other brown clothing, while this is true to an extent, it's not generally the case, because of the nature of a web site which is usually pages related to other pages with the same theme.

I haven't seen any proof that brown shoes should only be linked to other pages with brown clothing, and not to brown furniture or brown trucks. I would very much like to see proof of that working to give more link juice to a page.

It makes sense to link from pages of brown clothing to other pages of brown clothing, just for the visitors convenience but I don't think or I should say I haven't seen evidence that Google has some sort of list of all possible clothing items and give a link 2 less brownie point for a link to a brown car rather than a brown hat.

It might be true that linking between pages that had other types of similes like, brown blouse and brown dress, that were both woman's clothes, and had similar sizing, and were all brown might make a difference, but then in real life stores online that sell those sort of products usually sell all colors and sizes for a particular style on the same page. but the idea is there.

Mens Brown shoes, style c4, manufacture name x, color number 101 to Mens brown shoes style g9, made by manufacture name x, color number 101 would probably have more juice, but just because of the other factors.

I suppose this sort of example could be used to "show" a client how valuable your SEO advice was, because it sounds good, and like it might be right, but is it actually one of the parts of an Googles Secret Recipe for ranking a page, I think not, but like I said I would like to be proved wrong.

Google is after all, just a database, that searches for exact words and phrases, and now is looking for similar to words or means the same as words and phrases, and matches them up, granted it does a fantastic job of matching that words and phrases, but it's not thinking for itself yet.... or is it.... lol...

SEO is too good, our business can't cope!!!

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….

Web Designers, Get you act together Dudes...

I've had occasional to use IE7 and google chrome, for the past few days instead of my usual firefox, which keeps crashing,.

Firefox is the browser of choice of many web designers, and it seems they are really getting lazy, and not checking the websites they are building are working in other browsers, because I went to many of my usual sites, which worked just fine in firefox, but which just froze up IE, couldn't do a darn thing, now come of guys.... and most often web designers are guys, so come on guys, get your act together, and even if you won't have IE on your computer, get together with someone that does, and get them to check your work.

My partner is a web designer, and sure she works with most firefox too, but always and did you hear me, ALWAYS before a site goes live it is checked in the main browsers, I know cause I'm her beta tester, so I troll through her sites trying out each feature in each of the 4 browsers I have installed. while she does opera.

Since I do SEO, I can tell you most website visitors still use IE this comes from a cross sections of different websites, are still using but statistics say that anywhere from 48% on a graphic design website, through to 86% on an e-commerce site that had over 20k visitors are still using IE.

get with the Program guys, firefox is still only used by 20-32% of the general joe public, you know those folks that go to websites and BUY things.... you may think they are all spoons and should change, but the thing is the change over is slow and until people change you have to code your sites for all browsers, I know in general most web designers don't care about anything about a website past their final payment, and don't care if the site does any business, but still guys give your clients a fighting chance, make there websites work for at least 95% of the people visiting it,

For websites that work in all popular Browsers contact Kym at

SEO Constultancy Space Available

Note to the average reader, this post is not the easiest to read, I just had to let off steam.

I've had an seo client for 2 months, and give up on as a client that isn't ever going to learn, and I haven't got the time or energy to do their SEO anymore.

Whats wrong you may ask?

With this client, I have done 50 hours of unpaid work for them, cleaning up the code for their website, to make it easier for me to work on in the future... plus the $350 worth of SEO worth each month.

I've done the same work, both clean-up and SEO work 2 times now, and each month once their payment clears I go back to the site to download the latest versions of the pages to work on, which is a just good habit to get into, in case some change has been made,
these should be exactly the same as what I uploaded the previous month, since I'm supposed to be the only person working on the site.

But each time the work I did the previous month has been overwritten with older versions of the site, and not has it been overwritten, it was overwritten with a couple of days of me doing and uploading it. So all the work I have done is undone, before google has even seen it.

The first month I thought the old SEO had hacked the site, and since i had a hard-drive die on me, I didn't have the files I uploaded, so redid the work, and re-uploaded it straight away, at the beginning of March, I again discovered the code was the old one, so cleaned it up and redid the SEO work. Now the owner, really can't see why I shouldn't do it again.

The client swears it's not anyone there that doing this, but today I get an email saying uploads have been done, they were supposed to upload 5 or so pages.

Since I had done this months SEO already, and uploaded it on Saturday,(because I got sick of waiting for these 5 pages to be uploaded, it's been almost a month getting here, and the website owner was bitching that I hadn't worked on his site), and I agreed to redo these 5 pages. when they got around too uploading them.....

so I go to look at the pages in the file manager , every single page including the google verification file has been uploaded over my SEO work done on Saturday.

It turns out that the sites owners staff have done all sorts of work to the site they never bothered to tell me about, so it's not just a case of reuploading the work I did, the business owner was most put out when I said I wouldn't redo the work yet again on the new pages uploaded today.

Even though I explained first that I had done 60 hours this month getting the site fixed again, his response was well you can do it again.

Before this happened today, he wrote on the weekend after I finished uploading saying they couldn't afford to pay me for a couple of months, with the insinuation that my SEO work wasn't working....

OF COURSE THE SEO IS NOT WORKING...... IT'S BEING OVERWRITTEN EVERY MONTH........Faster than I can do the work.

So I again have another SEO space in my timetable. So anyone out there wanting SEO Consultancy I'm sick of offering SEO Services.

Time wasters, either you want seo or don't

Although this was a quick exchange, I'm so sick of getting "poor me" requests for me to spend hours and hours of my time, for a share of the profits generated. I get these requests all the time, and they just an keep coming... Sure I see clients that are now receiving 10's of thousands and I wouldn't mind a bit of the action, but it would have to be a lower initial SEO rate and a % of income.

And you know the oddest thing, NO ONE that I have ever suggested this too, have ever taken me up on it, I'm talking about serious seo clients, they really see the value of SEO, and see they would be way out of pocket if the gave me say .05% of their income forever and a day. Rather than just pay me for my seo services.

I have a fellow SEO that did this 3 times, and all was well until it came time to pay,
then the fighting started over where did the visitor come from, was it the search engines work my friend did, or one of the 500 visitors that were already finding the site in search engines.
And how much did the site really generate that month,
And then the owners will throw in a clause that it's only profits, and of the $2000 earned this month from some low replacement cost item, had to be spent on buying a new car, meanwhile my friend is wondering how he's going to pay for his internet connection this month.

I think what annoys me most is when I pick up on a lie, like this guy, he could afford my "Services" but didn't feel he had to pay me, and although his services are worth money, mine aren't. No SEO or web designer worth their salt will go for these deals, and yet these requests just keep coming.

Once I suggested to a client, who had offered me 20% of her income from her site, I would be happy to do it, they had a good product, and I could see a Market for it, I suggested that she transfer the domain name, I'd host the site, and paypal payments would come to me, and I'd send on their share, up until then everything was going well, all of a sudden, this client was slipping and sliding all over the place, and sent me a long email explaining, that they didn't even make 20% profit on many products, and they had bills they had to pay and stock they had to rebuy, and a zillion other reasons, they couldn't possibley have it work this way....

I just laughed and sent back an email suggesting that I wasn't asking for anything they hadn't suggested, except I would know how much they were making.....

Anyway read this conversation from the bottom up, and

Hi Lynn,
Interested in your services but cannot afford the monthly for site we launched www.somewebsitename.com Do you ever work on a sales generated commission base?

I just checked my email, after I saw your post, I keep requests by the month, I've had 37 requests not including yours, but just like yours so far this this month, and it's only the 7th.

I take my work seriously, and expect my clients to hurt a little in order to have me work for them to show their commitment to their to the business.

In 8 years I have done SEO for 2 small business that couldn't pay, me just because I could see the owner had the commitment to hang in there, both businesses are now very successful and pay me a regular monthly payment for services rendered 4 and 7 years ago.

Thanks Lynn for the response. A little taken back by the directness. If you previewed the site you would see that we are serious in addition to my extensive business background. This business was just launched in June 08 and already receiving favorable response from celebrities, agencies, vendors, mom fashion blogs and our bottom line customers.

You are receiving multiple responses because everybody is beginning to realize the importance of SEO in addition to watching our market spend while expecting verifiable results. I have clients that are asking for more ROI and in this economy I am willing to return that response with results.

Sorry if you are feeling insulted by mine and others request. I personally know very few businesses that are not hurting and wanting more for their money and I deal with all sizes across the board.

Thank you for your consideration.


Hello.
Yes, I don't tend to call a spade a flower, it wastes time.

I did visit the site, and yes you have a great product, very cute and I could see a big demand for the few products to the right market, and I could see you would have some good reviews for the products.

But the site itself needs lot's of work, it's unprofessional, and quite frankly looks like it's made by someone that didn't care, the navigation has a lot to be desired, the link colors haven't been worked with and links seem to disappear when they are hovered over, and the blog has 3 posts that have not worked correctly, and whoever posted them just left ugly code there, rather than either deleting it until they worked out what was wrong, or gave up on that idea. These posts are over a month old.

You might be interested in a page I just made of the ROI for some of my clients, http://www.thisseogetsresults.com/ROI_for_SEO_Services but there has to be some Investment before there can be a Return On that Investment.

It's an interesting the statement you made about people seeing importance of SEO, this is true, they just don't yet see the value of it. If I devalue myself or my worth, then clients will see my work as worthless also.

I'm not hard hearted, I have one client that pays me $75 a month, out of her wages from work, and then does the work I advise her about each month herself, another client that does work for me, mostly online research, in return for the seo work I do for her. With both these clients the work is slow, but they are getting there. Oh, I have another women that writs content for me, in return for seo advice.

You say, you are willing to return the response for higher ROI with results, does that mean you work without pay until your clients are making such a profit they can afford to pay you? Even Indian SEO's require payment before they start work and they work for peanuts, mind you that's all there work is worth.

My clients are all astonished with the return they get for my SEO $, all of them have stopped using PPC, printed advertising, or any other form of paid advertising, within 3 months of starting working with me.

It doesn't take long to see a $1000 outlay turns into $1500 monthly profit. lol... I even have a client that took out a personal loan for $7.5k to pay me to do SEO... that has worked extremely well for his business, he finished SEO over 6 months ago, and is make far more than the loan was for per month from his online business.

All my clients blab to other businesses, so I get regular offer's of work.

ROI for SEO by CANZ

I've just written another page for my site, about the Return on Investment(ROI) my SEO clients are are receiving, it's pretty impressive if I do say so myself.

My clients on average are getting a 100% return on their investment is my seo services within 3 months, and then getting at least a 100% return each month after that.

These figures are for existing websites that have been online for 2-5 years, usually with no sales at all, although one client I'm offering SEO consultant services too, did have a very good monthly turnover before we start, it's just 3 times as much now after 7 months.

My clients are happy campers, and most are happy to increase the amount of SEO they are receiving. All except one client, who was happy to increase what she was paying me, but I told her that it would be best to give the SEO we had done a rest for 3 months, let it all settle down, and see how things were, then in Auguat we'd look at doing another blize on the SEO in time for next Christmas.

Anyway, read about it here

SEO consultancy WORKS!!! PR6 from PR4 I'm Jazzed,

One of the website owners I do seo consultancy her website for has just gone from a google page rank of 4 and jumped to a PR6.

I even took a picture as proof I'm so jazzed, lol... see over to the right....

This site has gone from strength to strength, Back in August 09 it had a PR2 when the owner first contacted me about being her seo consultant, it then went to PR3, then PR4, now it's jumped a whole point and gone straight to PR 6. ... Ever seen a crippled person dance, cause I'm trying to now lol...

What will this mean for her now, very successful website, well more success of course, :) when this client first contacted me she had, what most would consider a successful website, she was getting around 9000 visitors a month on average, and regular sales, that were bringing a good income into the house, now she is getting 17,500 visitors a month average over the past 3 months and sales have almost tripled. So even though visitors haven't quite doubled, the visitors are now more targeted, and reaching her website credit card in hand.

Back before we started, only 141 web pages on her site were receiving visitors through search engines, last month, that was up to 307, remember February is a short month.

More statistics you say... ok,

Last month her key phrases increased from 1546 in July 08 to 4724 different key phrases for February 09... what does that mean, well in search engines people found her website for 4724 different phrases, different ways of searching for the products and information she has on her website.
I talked...wrote about Keyphrases in another blog I called Google Adwords vs SEO back in January 18, 2009

Anyway it means more of her pages are being found, ranking very highly in google I might add, for more people searching for what she has to offer.

Here's a graph that shows how highly these phrases rank in google.co.nz the search engine she's most wanting to do well in.it sort of says it all. I tested the top 350 words that brought 50 or more visitors to the site, after removing all searches that were direct searches for the versions of the website name or business name.

Out of the top those 4890 different keywords people used in search engines this month to find the website the top 350 referring keywords I tested, the pie graph shows what % of keywords rank in www.Google.co.nz

Keyword placements51% #1st Position
12% #2nd Position
15% #3rd Position
6% #4th Position
5% #5th Position

4% #6th Position
1% #7th Position
1% #8th Position
1% #9th Position
4% #10th or Lower Position

So 89 % of 350 keywords ranked between #1 and #5 in google.co.nz

Sales from her site were now coming from not only New Zealand, but also from the United States, Great Britain, Australia, China, Canada, Philippines, Germany, Singapore, and Netherlands, and Russia in that order.

Making international sales was one of her goals when we started our SEO consultation contract.

I know how website carts work, I have helped design many e-commerce websites. this site it programmed to not to trick you, but to actually ignore what you have ordered, and and add a product worth $79.95 to your cart.

Juvenon I made triple sure, I even used Paypal's secure one purchase temporary credit card's, so they couldn't charge me for more products at the end of the month. I didn't have enough money in my account, and knew I didn't, and yet the website ripped me off, so I will end up paying the bank charges of $35 for overdrawing on my credit card, plus other fee's, and the person I spoke to said, it

takes 28 days to ship out the free 30 sample

After this happened, I rang phone number they were advertising on the tv, and the person that answered, said he could only take an order, and not cancel them, he also said I was stupid for using a credit card on a website, and thats why I should have rang them rather than using the phone number supplied.


I said I didn't do that cause I could never tell over the phone how much I was being charged, and he laughed and said that was true, just I still shouldn't have used the website. So a STAFF member warns the

Juvenon™ Cellular Health Supplement Website is not to be trusted, so don't you get suxed in like me, I now have to pay $96.44 when the advert say over and over that it's only the postage you need to pay on the FREE 1 months supply of

JuvenonCellular Health Supplement website is a rippoff, don't go there, and if there site is a rippoff then I wouldn't trust ringing up either, they guy I spoke to laffed when I said there would be no way to find out how much I was charged, one of those knowing greasy laughs.

A week later after 9 phonecalls to the service center, I have just found out that the only thing I can do is wait for the product to arrive, in about 4 tp 6 weeks, and then return the package to sender unopened, and THEN wait till the get around to refunding the money, we were warned that parcels that were returned to sender often get lost, and it might pay to pay for door to door, postage....

Bloody ripoff racket.

31-3-09 Update... the product itself seems to work well for me, but not for my partner, so i have no bitch with the product, just the website that sells it.

Copywriter from New Zealand, Business copy writer

Business copywriter Steff Green writes about her business

It's not easy being a small business in the Big Business World. Every year, hundreds of small businesses fail because they can't attract enough customers. Every failed small business I've encountered shares one common factor - poor business writing.

Don't become another failure.

You need writing that's fresh, savvy, and relevant to consumers.

You need informative, entertaining copy that compels readers to buy from you.

You need a copywriter. Like me.

I'll write advertisements your readers won't be able to refuse. I'll show you how to leverage your regular customers with an e-newsletter, or create a new revenue steam with ebooks and information products. I'll set up and optimize your business blog. I'll write SEO website content to attract and keep new customers. Whatever the writing job, I'll produce quality copy guaranteed to improve your business performance.

Bruce Clarke Aotea Hosting, FairGo NZ Someone else upset Bruce

http://seointernetmarketingseo.blogspot.com/2007/10/wow-bad-testimonal-does-this-mean-i-bad.html

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, this is a post I made on a forum, which sort of said it all.

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, my partner built him several websites for his business, under a lot of different domain names, so don't just look out for aotea hosting, theres serveral different names he works under... go and read this recommendation at our site is you are interested in really not dealing with him http://www.canzdesign.com/clients_say.html#hostingservers

I specialise in making websites findable in search engines, and he actually sent us a quote request last night that I found very offensive. In the other services part of the quote form, he wrote that he wanted "sex"

I have been to both links, and the one at http://tvnz.co.nz/fair-go/fair-go-ao...-2516659/video there on sound for the national bank add at the start, but no sound for the interview. And the other link won't show for anyone outside NZ,

I might see if there's a way to pay to watch one thing. Watching the first link with no sound was pretty bad, but I would quite like to hear the words, especially when they had him as a puppet, that was pretty funny to watch, but knowing how he abused us or me when he was unhappy with something, I can just guess what he said.

OK, I just checked the url before I submitted this post, and the sound works now.... actually wish I hadn't heard it now, it brings back memories of the C**P he said to me, that got me so upset, and that had such devastating effect on me, about 18 months ago…. that Bruce Clark of Aotea is still definitely is nuts and needs help, he's lost the plot........

E-Commerce Website Gets lots of sales after SEO service

SEO Client Happy Camper.

I have one particular client that I've written about before, that is my pride and joy, she owns a breastfeeding Products e-commerce store in New Zealand.

She and I have worked together on her website since August 08, well she's done the work, I have just told her what to do, with my SEO consultant service and she is always exceeding my expect ions, if I say to do 5 things she'll do 8, she really is a wonderful young woman.

Her sales have increased as have the visitors to her website she's asked my not to say how much sales have increased, but she's been making a comfortable living of the site for herself and family. Her visitors have also increased dramatically, and if you work it out she's making an average of $2 for every single visitor to her site I know many people that would be happy to earn that much, but not the owner of this online store, she's out to add another 1/4 as many visitors again this month as she had last month, which was a massive increase of visitors and sales itself.

Within the few months we have been working together, she has gone from the getting the odd order from overseas, to getting order's from everywhere in the world several times a day. The courier services she must have to use by now to take away her orders, must know the whole family buy name by now.

Anyway, Frances, enough back slapping, here take a look at her website www.breastmates.co.nz a breastfeeding products store in NZ

one website many domain names ( url's )

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.
A website I've started doing seO for, selling soft fish bait called slam has all these domain names.

slam.net.nz
slamsoftbait.co.nz
slamsoftbaits.co.nz
slamsoftbaits.com
slamsoftbait.com

Other website owners have many domain names that are quite different and might contains the product or services the businesses the offers for sale.

The domain names above are the product brand name, and the keywords that explain what the products are. So are perfect domain names.

Many places that offer website hosting don't allow their clients to have multiple domains hosted, so before you go off buying a heap of domain names, make sure your website host allows domains names to be parked rather than just point at the original website. Which means that even if you have another name as soon as the weboage opens, the name will revert to the original one.

Our website host offer's a domain name parking service and we have several different domain names pointed at the one website, sometimes we are just waiting for the domain name to mature, other times they are there, because a website will rank better in search engines, if the names of the products they sell are in the domain name.

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 my 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.

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 page 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 generally how pagerank seems to work the home page of a site will have the highest page rank, links direct 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 JavaScript 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 because they have used code, stopping the page rank from draining into links inside their site.

Just use a cheap directory submission place, this one charges only 14 cents per submission, and yes it's a affiliate link but I only recommend products that I use, and this is one of the few things I do use.

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!!!!!

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.

Give Google easier access to your site: Get a Google Sitemap file!

We offer a full turnkey service, including Google and Yahoo Sitemap files creation + registration. Visit us online for more details.

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 optimized 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 optimize 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

Web site Builders, or people that build websites usually refer to themselves as web site designers, yet actually this isn't strictly correct, there are several steps to building a web site, and web design, and web site 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 web designer making pictures of various pages, and showing the client to get their approval.
You should not judge a web site 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 web site 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 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.

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 Commercial Cleaning Company, a Debt Settlement Company, a Website Design Business, a Dentist in Chula Vista and a Commercial Writer, 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.....

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

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 ConsultancySkills


SEO with Lynny from http://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.

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 the owner' Breastfeeding Products Online Store how 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.

Debt Settlement San Diego

Debt Settlement San Diego

Yesterday I met a new client, Eric and Gerardo their business is helping their clients reduce their debt so the client can pay it off, rather than opting for BANKRUPTCY

If I was in debt, I would certainly opt to use their services, they have some impressive debt settlement results,

and if in debt, I would prefer to keep my good name, and pay off my debts, rather than being a credit leper for the next 14+ years, which is what people don't tell you about BANKRUPTCY.

Wouldn't it be a shame to go BANKRUPT then next year your circumstances change, and you get a great job, but your credit is out the window for many years to come, or like you have heard on TV a bad credit rating can stop you for even getting a job, or a place to live.

I suggest you visit their site, http://debtfreeleague.com/ and contact these progressive innovative guys, guys that think outside the square, and know the people to talk to, and deals that can be made, and get them to assist you reduce and stabilize your debts, giving you breathing room to pay your debt and keep your good credit name.

These guys have saved clients up to almost 80% of their initial debt, yes reduced debts by almost 80% check out this example page http://debtfreeleague.com/settlement_examples.html

SEO Services, 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 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.

More people use Search Engines

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.

This 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.

Call or email me, for a quote to SEO your website

Make your website work for your business

In this time of economic crises businesses are looking at the ways they are spending money, and seeing that often their websites are bringing in the business they had hoped.

The sad thing is there is no reason that a website should not bring in plenty of business, with good SEO a website can rank well in search engines, and get visitors ready to spend money.

The problem is the SEO, many so called SEO company's optimize business websites for the wrong phrases, more often than not, an SEO company will optimize the whole website for a business name. Whereas only one page needs to be optimized for a business name, the other pages should be optimized for the products or services that a business offers, but not only

however more often than not, SEO company's optimize for some obscure phrase or phrases, because they don't take the time to check what people actually search for.

SEO in Hillcrest 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 relly going to enjoy being the official Hillcrest SEO :)

Problems with cheap websites

I have been asked to take over and work with various Indian programmers, after they have baffled the website owner, don't get me wrong, I'm sure many Indian programmers do a good job, I've just never come across any.

I did a quick tally last night, and I figure I have worked with 14 different Indian programming companies. And I know my name is on a blacklist somewhere on an Indian coders forum, because I insist that a website works, because the last programmer told me so, when he was getting angry with me, he rang me and said, I should never have worked with you, blah blah blah, I thought that was pretty cool, people are being warned about working with me, because I insist that the work be done correctly, that everything works, and when it comes to beta testing a site I would find every tiny problem.

That's a pretty good name to have I would say. I'm proud of it.

As an example of some problems I have come up with, problems that I've come up against, the first place I worked with, I assumed that if a feature was mentioned that that feature would then work, that's a reasonable assumption I would say.

One I particularly remember, because now I think it so funny but got me so mad at the time. We worked on a site that had 3 levels of website user, the top level coaches, then registered members, then general site users, a coach could sell products or services through the site. And one feature was the ability for coaches to say that website members that made bookings for a seminar before a specific date would get an early bird special discount price. That's a pretty normal way of working right?

When the site was finished, sure enough the coach could there was a place to put an early bird price, but at first it didn't show on the page when a website member looked at the details of the seminar. When I made an issue of this, the programmer said he didn't even know what that early bird thing meant, so just put a text box, so the coach could add this.

I thought well fair enough I guess, different countries different ways of doing things, so I explained how it should work. That was fixed duly, and all seemed well. Until I was beta testing as a registered member and noticed that although the features was there, and it said on the seminar page there was a discount, that when a member made their order, they were charged the normal price not the early bird price. Thinking this was just an oversight, I approached the company, and asked that it be fixed, this is where the problems started.

They said that that feature was in the list of what a coach could do, but was not listed for what a member could do, which was true, it wasn't listed, and because of this the site was now going to cost more to make this feature work for members. I must say they put forward a very good argument, and to the novice building their first website they would have probably paid.

However, I hit the roof, and walls of the reply email, saying that was the dumbest thing I had ever heard, how it didn't even make sense that it or any feature wouldn't work for all people that were using the feature. Anyway to cut a long story short, I eventually got what I wanted and didn't pay anything extra for it. But that was only the first of many many such issues there were something like 62 different parts of the site that the coder actually didn't know what the work order meant, so simply didn't add the features, or added a half assed job, once the coder even admitted to me on MSN that he had hoped that a particular feature was forgotten, because he didn't have any clue how to do it.

When starting to work with these company's you will also get a multipage proposal for building your website, this will be 35 plus pdf pages, and seems to list every last detail, but a word of warning, never under any circumstance assume anything. I did in the above mentioned example, and if I hadn't of known, could have had a different outcome. They always quoted a new price whenever I mentioned a different feature not working, and if I would have paid them all, the site would have cost over 3 times as much as the original quote said.

Oh another problem we had that was really funny, on the proposal anyone visiting the site could ask the coach a question by clicking on a link which took them to a form page. However because it wasn't mentioned on the coaches list that they would receive this form, the submitted form didn't have a place to go, it was really just a dummy form. How pathetically dumb was that.

My main problem with them is they prey on unsuspecting new website owners, people that really need a helping hand, and understanding that the idea of a site will evolve as it is being built, they are offering them a cheap website, and pretending to be wonderful and helpful, ringing up talking for hours on the phone. When most often rip the poor client.

Cheap websites can end up a nightmare

I've dealt with a few website owners, over the years, who had their original website built by different Indian website designers/developers. Although the original website was cheap enough, they mistakenly agreed to have only the original developer do any changes on the site in the future or the site warrantee would be void.

One site was a comprehensive community website that originally cost only $6000 USD. Great price for the site, so no problems there, however a year down the line, and the site wanted to add a feature they wrote to the developer, and they wanted, $25,000USD that's twenty five thousand dollars USD for what was a relatively easy job even if the coding had to be written from scratch.

This is outrageous, yet sadly enough commonplace. For a new website owner really daunting.

Looking at the website warrantee or guarantee it actually only lasted for a month after the site was built, so I advised the owner of this, much to their relief.

I found a coder, and had the job done for a total of $350. The killer was that the feature the owner actually wanted added, was actually in the code all the time, and had been hidden, so all that was required was to find it, and take out the code that was hiding it. It took me longer to find a coder that actually coded in that particular coding language than it did to have the work done.

It is vital that if you get a cheap site made you don't agree to anything like this, for this very reason. I have heard story after story from owners of how these "Cheap websites" end up costing the owner a bundle of money.

Another story was a website, that at first look, seemed to be a nice website, and as long as any members joined, and did everything correctly the site worked well. And in the testing stage of the website, since the owner wasn't an experienced beta tester, he didn't realize there were no correct error controls within the site.

I went to the site, actually to become a member, I filled out the membership form, and when I submitted it, my password didn't have enough characters, when the page refreshed after the error message it was blank, so I filled it in again, this time my dyslexia kicked in and my password didn't match, again I was faced with filling in the form. After 4 tries I eventually got the form to accept, and wrote to the owner, explaining that it was a simple change in coding to make the form keep the information, when something like that happened. And told him what to ask his developers to do in geek speak.

The owner wrote back and thanked me, and said that he hadn't known of the problem, and would get it fixed. All was well. I started writing to the owner just on a friendly basis about the site, and how things were going, his idea was a good one, and I have an inquisitive nature, like hobit our hedgehog mascot.

A month later the site owner wrote to me and said he hadn't had a reply from the company, after several emails on his part, and was sick and tired of their lousy after sales service.

He told me about a couple of other issues that had been reported, and asked if our webdesign/development company would be willing to fix these issues. I by that time had found another 3 problems with the site.

I said that we'd be happy to do the work, and carry on as his developer. I suggested that I beta test the site, which he was happy for me to do. I found 24 different issues, nothing major but things that should have been found and fixed during the building and testing stage.

While looking at the code to fix a couple of small issues, I noticed that some of the code was familiar, and actually turned out to be open source code, free to use, and just had a couple of minor customizations made to it, and should never have cost the $4000 that he was charged in the first place, so even though initially he was happy with the cheap price, he was actually overcharged.

That was over 3 years ago now, and now the site works well, has had several changes made, and features added, the owner is a happy camper.

The moral of the story is, you often get what you pay for, especially when it comes to very cheap websites. And paying for someone to explain the options you have can often save you a lot in the long run.

One job since arriving in San Diego

I arrived in San Diego on the 15th, got married on the 17th, finished one seo job, and scored 2 new SEO jobs right here in San Diego on the 22nd and 24th of September. So I'm up to 9 out of my 10 clients.

Have been busy getting used to a whole new country, I'm fascinated by the black people here. I've touched 3 different peoples skin, and it's so soft, nothing like what I've always though that it would have been tough skin.

Commissioned a painting By Georgie MacBrayne New Zealand Artist

I commissioned a painting from Georgie MacBrayne a very talented New Zealand artist from http://www.fish-paintings.co.nz/.

Bad graphic from which a  wonderful painting was createdI sent her a very bad graphic of the idea I wanted and then some photos of my partner and I. Instructions that the faces should not be obvious like in the bad graphic, they should look like rocks, only when you looked at it should they become clear. To the right is that bad graphic first.

But that's not the end to the story, for those of you that can see a third face in the rocks below; that face was not intentionally added by the artist, someone else looking at it while it was drying saw it and pointed it out.

I saw it and thought… well this is part of an email I was writing to thank the artist for this lovely commissioned painting below, when I noticed it:

and the extra face, is weird, definitely a males face, the more I look at it the more it becomes someone I know or knew….those eyes and the nose, the brow… someone…. Kym my partner might know when she sees it, she's better with faces…. Oh my god, I can't believe it, it's my father. Without realising it you have added my dad to my painting.

Oh Georgie, now I'm really crying again, my Dad died before I met Kym, and I always wished he had met her, he would have loved her as much as I do.

And now in this painting, it looks Dad's watching us, oh Georgie, thank you so very very much. I could never pay you it's worth to me now it's even more precious……

So anyway….here is the stunning painting this talented New Zealand artist from Tauranga came up with… I will cherish it forever.

2 faces By Georgie MacBrayne New Zealand Artist Feel free to take the the picture, just leave the words at the top so you remember how to find out where you can get a commissioned artwork that will be cherished forerver.

Thank you again to you Georgie

By Lynny, who's going to San Diego to get married on leaving on Monday the 15th of Sept 2008, four sleeps away from now.

Click on the painting, and be taken to the talented artist based in Tauranga, New Zealand that created this wonderful painting

Websites Need SEO or Brochures need reprinting,

BSelecting the cheapest possible web site is not advised if your goal is to earn money from your web site. The best way for you to insure that potential clients can find your website is to invest the money needed to have your website optimized for search engines. About Links

Unlike brochure printing, you do not need your entire website rebuilt from scratch each time your company, which offers scenic wildlife tours, must change a facet of its operation.

If you compare the costs of producing a quality brochure, and having a website, even in the short run, a website is less expensive.

To have 50,000 professional brochures designed, printed in color, delivered to you, and distributed through travel agents and tourist information centers would cost somewhere around $15,000-$20,000. The entire cost of this service accrues again and again every six to nine months.

If you spent that much on a professional website, and the very best SEO services, for a site like I'm talking about above, you'd be looking at $12,000 xaximum, and then $5000 a year for hosting, and making changes, maybe even a new look for the site each year as required. Add to that $300 a month for continued seo and you are still way better off to have a website.

Use that time and money to hire a professional website designer, and infuse your site with search optimization strategies, and you can see 10,000 new visitors hitting your site every month after the first six months, and 20,000 unique new visitors within a year, in addition to those who keep coming back.

Making changes to a brochure is expensive, and it must be changed with each new event; a website can be customized on the fly, by yourself, or by someone you hire, at a much lower cost.
The cost of a domain name and web hosting, which are key to keeping a website online, start at approximately $150 per year. Continual re-printing of paper brochures is required. You do your own math.

You can easily make small changes to the web pages as you choose, because we will make sure that you have a CMS if you require one. A photo gallery can be included in the CMS for displaying photos of your work which may interest prospective clients. You could add and subtract photos as you choose. You will be trained on know how to use CMS by us.

Because we are confident in the quality of our website design and services, we offer payment plans where an initial deposit can be placed, followed by monthly payments. Most web designers like to be paid up front or as soon as the website is live.

With our payment plan if you have the extra money, and realize the benefit of site to your business interests, you can then pay off the balance. Because we are confident in the quality of our website design and services, we gladly accept payments.

SEO is just a big game, and you want to be the winner.

SEO is just a big game, and you want to be the winner.

I have a new SEO client that's thrilled that after his new optimized website has been online for only 5 days, he's #1 for all the keyphrases he wanted to be ranked well for, when we started his site couldn't be found in the first 100 search engine results. This client did his own SEO with my help.

Like I said he's jazzed about being #1 for all these phrases, and I offered to show him, how he could improve the phrases that say at #5 and get them upto #1. He is of course interested to know, and has made an appointment, but his comment was, SEO is just a big game isn't it…. Never have truer words been spoken.

The really good thing about SEO is so few sites have any done, that often only a small investment, will go a long way, unless you are in one of the very high competition businesses. But even then the investment will be more, but the results are well worth it for your business.

SEO is a game, and you want your site to be the winner. Contact me, if you want your site to be the winner…. We'll make it happen.

What is SEF what does SEF mean?

Quite simply SEF means search engine friendly.

Have a look at our SEF CMS, or Search Engine Friendly, Content Management System, The CMS means you can if you wish build the whole site yourself, or have us build a professional website, and then you add your products as you see fit, or make changes to your pages as you want.

First in Google using SEO How?

How do I get our site in the first page using SEO?


That's the easiest question I have ever had, hire me, and I'll do it.Seriously, I will do it but it all depends on exactly what words or phrases you want to be on the 1st page,or #1 in search engines for. Some sites have some SEO done, and just need that extra hand to do better, so maybe hiring me at $300USD a month for 6 months or 1 year is all you need to do, I'll do offsite SEO, and get you raking highly for just a few words, or many words, it's your choice.

That's why it's so wrong really to have a set price list for SEO, since each site is different, and has its own needs. Even though I have an


SEO price list on my website, I still don't believe in them, but people want to know what they could be in for as far as an investment in SEO

There are also times, say when you have built your site in FrontPage as a try out, and you have seen the potential of a website. Then you would be better off to start afresh with a SEF CMS, or Search Engine Friendly Content Management System. The CMS means you can if you wish build the whole site yourself, or have us build a professional website,

and then you add your products as you want, or make changes to your pages as required.

from USA to other parts of the world

Sending purchases from USA to other parts of the world.

If you want to buy a product in the United States, and have it sent to NZ, it either costs a fortune, especially if you but multiple things from the same place, and they add one $12 or some per item, or they won't send outside the States.

If you are in this position, contact me, I'll be living in the states soon, and would be happy to send things on, you can pay me by paypal for postage, and some extra for my time, and get your product far cheaper.

Need a new Website Designer email us

Many people have a website, but their website designer is long gone or now charging way too much for updates, or just generally offering a lousy service. and now all you get is spam, your website is out of date, and you don't know what to do.... easy answer, get a new webdesigner.

The staff at Canzdesign offer second to none after sales service for web design, often making small changes for nothing at all, but otherwise at a reasonable fee. And changes will often be made with a day, 2 days if we are way busy, but there's usually someone available, that will do small job, but most important, is we answer our emails as soon as they arrive, not 6 weeks later.

We check our spam bins every day, to make sure we haven't lost your email to the spam lords, and suggest you do the same if you haven't received a reply from us within 12 hours.

Even if the email is just to say, ok, or we'll be able to do that tomorrow afternoon or something short like that. We hate to wait for days for a reply to an email and figure why should you wait to hear from us.

Anyway about the service, I even have a website that I receive all their emails, and go through it for them delete the spam. I send the ones that look like they are real, by reading the subject line or the first sentence the ones that have emails I recognize as a client right on to the person that's supposed to receive it.

Each person has their person email address, I have done this for 2 years now, and was talking to the owner, and he said that they had just been talking about what a wonderful service it was. And how in the 2 years I had been doing it, I had only sent on 5 emails that were actually spam, and 7 emails that weren't to the correct person in the company.

Not a bad record for a business that was getting 200-250 and are now getting about 500 spams a day, and have 18 employee's that usually receive about 1-3 real emails a day each.

The experience I received when I first went online of dealing with emails from 13 different groups, numerous friends and spam has come in handy, back then I received about 3-5000 emails a day, I used to have a screenshot that showed that after I had no internet connection for 1 ½ days, I was downloading almost 9000 emails. Hehehehe….

Now I only get about a 1000 a day, and I still manage to work doing SEO for 9 websites, and answer about an average of 40 emails a day. And do heaps of other work…..

your webdesigner or webhost are you unhappy with them.

Many people don't realize that they can move there website whenever they like.

I know a fanatasic website host that charges less than $10 a month, $5.00 USD a month, and most websites in the world are actually hosted in Amercia, and it doesn't hurt their search engine ranking at all, even if they have a country specific website url.

Or they have a website designer, that gives lousey after sales service, or even part way through the site, you find you can't work with them, it's a very easy process to change website designers or website developers, you have hundreds of solutions. Thosands of them for bthe problems.

So if you are having problems with your webhost, or the place that hosts your website, or the person that originally built your website, then write to me, I will offer you our services for free, or for %50USD I'll take the time to write an email that offers you other options with other website hosts and website designers.

SEO with a breastfeeding website.

I was approached recently by someone that wanted to do her own onsite SEO, just wanted to know what to do.

So we settled on a price, an upfront price, and six months of smaller payments, and now this site owner is as busy as a bee, doing all the onsite work required, all the repetitive work that takes so long to do. I can't keep up with her, she truly is an inspiration.

She's had the site for a few years, about 5 years I think.
She designed the first product a pure wool pads to help control leaks for breast feeding mums herself. Then went on to make hemp breast pads since they apparently absorb the leaks better….I'm not an expert in this sort of thing, my baby feeding days are well over.

The site has gone from strength to strength, she has about 100 different products onsite, and now with these changes she's doing she should be doing really well in search engines in a few months.

She is truly a pleasure to watch, I have known the owner through a bulletin board for a few years, and taken interest in her website, giving her a few hints with her old site.


The point is, the site wasn't an instant success, but she has kept at it, and made it a success, through pure sweat and I guess a few tears over the years.


She didn't just put the site up, and expect people to come and buy her goods, then "pack a sad" and give up when they didn't. She dug her toes in and made it a challenge to make her site work, she went on to think of new things to do like revamp the site, giving it new look, a better checkout system, went out on the internet, and got her site known through going to forums, she made her site work.

That is the sort of person you don't see often in the world of websites.

As I have said the site sells things for pregnant and breastfeeding mums, their babies and baby products, go on, go take a look, and if you are pregnant then definitely have a look, and buy something while you are there.
I certainly enjoy helping the owner of this site for mothers and their babies out.

I must say I would like to do more of this type of work, with people that already have built their own sites and are happy with them, but just want help with the SEO. I think I'll limit it to those people that have shown they won't give up, and owned a site for a few years, but still I'd like to do this type of work more.

I will not give me hard-earned expertise away for nothing, but the owner of this site has saved herself about $2500 by doing it herself. Way to go Frances from www.breastmates.co.nz !!!!!

Oh, and she's started a new blog, check it out at specialty breastfeeding online store blog.

How often should a website be upgraded

Like everything in the computer world, websites need to be upgraded regularly. Plus they need to have a face lift now and then too.

I website that is run using php, or is database driven will last about 4-5 years. As technology gets more complex and codes become out of date. So if you have a website that is successful, you should budget for a rebuild every 4-5 maybe 6 years.

Html website will last a lot longer, but then they can't do a lot of things that database websites can, html websites are really something for personal websites, and shouldn't be considered when looking at building a professional websites. Professional websites need to look professional, and changing that have to be made to an html website have to be made on every page, whereas on a database website, one change say in the menu, will change the menu's on the whole site. Of course, there are many other things that make database driven websites better than an html website, but this post is about how often you should look at rebuilding your site.

I would also suggest you give your website a new updated look every couple of years, this does not cost much, and can make the world of difference to a website. There's nothing worse than an old fashioned looking website.

Regards Lynny

Help1@Seobycanz.com

How do you SEO a database driven website?

This is an easy question to answer, a coder needs to change the code of the site, making it possible for changes to be made to the various part of the site, that your visitor doesn't see.

Some people don't believe in using meta tags, for the most part I do, but still database driven urls need to be changed to search engine friendly ones, page titles, and a few other little places, need coding changes in order for a database driven website to become Search engine friendly.

Many database driven websites are starting to become out of date, the code that runs them is becoming old, and within a year or two there will be many website that will need to be totally rebuilt as the server, the place that hosts the website will be upgrading their servers and the older style websites will just not work.

Help1@Seobycanz.com

Are several websites better than one?

A question that I'm often asked is it better to have several websites, or just a whole lot of information on one website.

It depends on how much money you have, but several websites, each on a specific subject, is better than one big website that has many things all mixed up together. SEO-wise several websites on similar but different subjects is a dream.

If you did have several websites, the idea would be to have the sites linked together; the sites could even look pretty much the same, so people would not necessarily know that they are going to another website.

The problem is of course is keeping several websites up-to-date is a big job, but that is when you hire an SEO that's also a web designer like me, to make sure the sites all running smoothly.

Different search engine ranking depending on where you live

Since my partner the graphic artist and web designer is now in San Diego, Southern California, I have been doing some testing, and getting her to do some search engine searches for me, the exact same ones I have done here in New Zealand, and the results are quite different.

I always knew this was so, becuase google has several datacenters where it draws it's results from, but never had a chance to prove it before.

SEO what's in it for your?

SEO what's in it for you.... make sure you read the last .
It maybe all very well to know all about SEO and how it's worked for my other clients, but what's in it for you?

Well for a start, if you are reading this page, I'll give you a 20% discount on the monthly investment in SEO you make on a yearly contract. Just mention this page when you write and ask for a quote.

Ok, so the first benefit for you. Your site starts getting more targeted visitors, and considering they like what they see, and they like the price, you will get more sales.

Targeted visitors are ones that do a search, and find your website as exactly what they are looking for. It's no good doing what some SEO's do, and get visitors to a site selling new cars, by pretending it a cheap second car site. I mean why bother, the visitor is only going to leave again.
Your competitors will also notice that your name is ahead of them in search engines, people with businesses often do vanity searches, and it isn't fun to see your competitor ahead of you for allsorts of searches that are relevant to your business.

My personal SEO motto, is to get a site ranking well(which means on the first page of Google) for as many search phrases as possible, and as many of really the same search, just search for in a different ways.

Many people other SEO's say that anyone that makes the first page promise is not truthful about there skills, I say they are just not good SEO's themselves, sure it can be done, and if it can't then I will tell you so, and not take your money, hey I don't want ANY customers that aren't wowed by my work.

So far all my clients have said I should be charging more, but I'm after job satisfaction, not a new car or designer clothes. I only have 10 clients at a time, and it's up to 8 at the moment, so go on be number #9 or 10.

In fact, I'll make you a deal, be number 9 or 10 before 22 of August 08 and I'll give you 33% off the whole price of my SEO services.....

How do search engines work?

The way search engines work is simple really.

If the exact phrase someone searches for is there on a webpage, to 2 specific places, then that page will be #1.


The problem is when the same phrase is on many pages over the web, then it comes down to the most popular websites or well optimised websites get's ranked highly, the others follow.


The other problem is people search for the oddest things, in the oddest ways. While I might search for "how do search engines work" you might search for, "search engines, how do they work" "search engine, what makes them work" or "what makes one webpage rank higher than another in a search engine". If you read my other article, then you will see that just because you rank well in one search, it doesn't mean you will do well for the other phrases.


Search engines also go on from just searching for the exact phrase, if the exact phrase isn't there, then the look for WebPages with most of the words in the search somewhere on the page, and it carry's on looking until it might only find one or two words from a phrase on a page.


My job as an seo, is to get your site ranking as highly as it can with as many different ways of saying the same thing. And then as many different ways of saying something slightly different.


If you are interested in this, read one of my other articles where I have searched for the same five words, in different ways, sometimes as 2 words, sometimes as three, the results are most interesting. The blog entry below this one this blog actually.

Seo Hint: Why do similar searches rank differently

My main job as a good SEO for you is to make your website findable in search engines for whatever people might search for that is a product or service maybe shown on your particular website, or at the least as many as possible searches.

That is not as easy as it might sound, because as you may imagine people can and do search for the same thing in different ways.

Here I have used the words Australian Blue Sapphire, with variants of Australia and sapphires.

Different keywords different ranking





See how Australia Sapphires is ranked #1, yet Australian Sapphire ranked #12 in goggle for a search.

This particular website has many different kinds of gemstones, but next I would obviously work on Australian sapphires, blue sapphire and sapphire blue.


I hope this illustrates that although a website might be doing well for one search that another search that may be very similar may not be doing well at all.


My point is people search for the same thing is several different ways, all the searches above I found in a list of 2268 different searches people made for this site and found it.


Most good website hosts have website statistics, where you can check what visitors to the site are doing, how long they stayed, and what search they used to find the site.


The 3 search strings above that aren't doing as well in Google, will be doing well in some other search engine, so that's probably how they are found, most people don't bother searching past the second page in search engines, unless they are looking for something specific. In fact only, something like .2% search past page 1 of a search results, so if you are not on that first page, then your competitor get's the click, and you miss out on a sale.


There are several ways that I get all these various searches covered in search engines, however for me to do the very best job I can, I need access to the website itself, the behind the scenes part of the site.

Many website owners are concerned that their web designer may not be happy with giving this information especially if that web designer offers SEO services as well. This can be a problem, but it is your website, and you should be given the login information when the site was first built.

Other website owners are thoroughly sick of their original web designer, who has a bad after sales service, taking months to make simple changes, or even weeks to answer email. Often then it's just as easy for me to set up changing website host, hosting for most websites should only cost $5-$10 depending on how much support the owner needs.


Once access is gained to the website, I can often get your website ranking well in several search results, sometimes within days if the site has been online for a year or so.

Another site I do SEO for is a gift basket website, and I was showing someone the work I do, and how it would work, I did a search for one particular phrase I had worked on 18 hours after I had done the work. I was bowled over when it was ranked at #1 on page 1. I was thinking I would have to show this friend, that the phrase was on page 20 which it was when I did the changes the day before.

That did show though that Google definitely was looking at the site regularly it just was not finding the information it needed to rank the site highly. That particular site now receives visitors from 747 keywords and keyphrases.

And the owner has just sold the business, on the strength of how well the website is ranking in search engines, and how many sales she's now making through the website Big browne point for me and my seo skills

Being a dyslexic writer

Having dyslexia and being able to, and desperately wanting to write is a challenge few could understand or appreciate the challenge of.

Apart from not being able to spell many words, which a majority of the time the computer spell check takes care of. If I actually know which of the words, if gives me as a choice is the correct one, as many of the words have the same letters. It's often a case of choosing one, and then seeing if the computer picks up that I've used a word in the wrong context.

However does that mean the word I actually wanted to use is wrong, or does that mean I have chosen the wrong word from the list of possible ones the spell-check gave me. There are times often, when the word I want if the word isn't in the list of choices.

Those times I change various letters around, until the word I want becomes an option. When I get a word, that the computer says I have spelt correctly, I have to check that that word is actually the word I wanted to use.

I must have the longest auto correct list in the history of computer spell checks. Actually, it isn't that long, since I recently lost it in a reformat, but before that, all the words that I knew I spelt wrong were there, often with 2 or 3 variations of how I might have spelt it, and then how it should be spelt.


 

I also have this very handy little spell check/dictionary type program that will say the word for me, that get's used at least 40 or 50 times a day.


 

It all means that writing even an email is rather a long drawn out process..... For the rest of the article of being a Dyslexic writer take a look at the link.

What is Full SEO

I was just looking at a website for sale on an auction here in New Zealand, and it said "

It has full SEO and listed with Google, Yahoo, Live, NZ Search, Finda, Wises"


Simply being listed in a search engine does NOT mean a website has SEO and certainly not Full SEO. It simply means it's listed in search engines.


Most websites that have been online for a while can be found in search engines. All that is required to appear in a search engine is 1 live link, that's a link you can click on and it takes you to the website, and the website the way it is, and search engines the way they are your site will appear in search engines. SEO is assisting the search engines, to rank your website before your competitor's website.


So what is Full SEO?


There is no such thing as full seo that would mean that any search anyone could ever think of to do with buying computers would mean that the site would show up highly in the search results. Click the link to Read the full article about this What is Full SEO?

LSI Newest Google technology Scam

I'm not saying that LSI is a scam, I'm saying company's advertising its relevance to your website are a scam.

Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is this great new Google technologically that all the very best SEO companyies are saying they are using to make your website more relevant in search engines, or make your website LSI friendly etc etc....

The fact is, if you were to ask these company's what LSI actually was, and if they could explain how it it would benefit your website in particular, none of them would an answer, especially as to what it could do to benefit your site. They couldn't give you an honest reply.

I won't explain it, because that would be like reinventing the wheel, take a look at this thorough description at this Excellent SEO Blog, he has some very good info there, and the blog is well worth a look around. Another post worth reading n the subject of The LSI Myth

Hosting stuff you wanted to know, but no-one would tell you

HOSTING Although we offer webhosting to our web design clients, and some of my SEO clients, we don't offer hosting as a service as a rule, so this information isn't from someone that’s trying to sell you the best deal around so here you will see good sound information with no special deals or offers.


Web hosting is a service providing users with server/computer space via web access used for storing information, images, video, content or website information.

What is the difference between a country domain extension (ccTLD) and a .com (TLD) extension and which extension do I need?


Country code top-level domain (ccTLD) – The two letters following the final dot of any domain name represent your country code such as .co.nz or .com.au. Use a ccTLD if you do not expect to market internationally as you will get your site into local search engines quicker.


Top-level domain (TLD) – A .com domain name is used by companies with a global market and easily recognized as a international business.


Examples:
Canz Design is a New Zealand company with a global customer base. Both
www.canzdesign.com and www.canzdesign.co.nz domain names are registered in order to capture both markets.


A New Zealand mechanic will register his website as .co.nz as he is interested in the local market only.


Are all website hosts the same?


No definitely not. Both pricing and service can vary depending on the provider.


If the cheapest price is your primary concern and you are prepared to put up with your website not working properly or being offline for a few days here and there then there are plenty of companies out there and you shouldn't need to pay more than $10 per month. The negative side to such great pricing is that the backup service is often reflective of the price you pay. Your frantic emails will probably not be replied to as soon as you would like and assistance when available may not be to your satisfaction.


If you are looking for a balance between competitive pricing and great support then have a look at our hosting plans on our website. We will answer your emails promptly, back your website up regularly and fix any problems as quickly as possible.
We are more than happy to custom design a hosting plan to fit your particular needs so if you are looking for something specific, simply email us with details and we will reply with our proposal.

What do I look for in a hosting plan?

Email: The amount of web space for any hosting plan includes space used for emails. If your business receives emails with large attachments on a regular basis and may be closed for weekends then you need to be looking for a plan offering at least 35 MB's. However, if your business receives smaller emails without those large attachments than a 20 MB website should be more than adequate.


Do I need to own a computer or to have it going most of the time in order to run a website?


No, the benefit of a website is that your audience has access to your company's information at any time. As all information is stored through your host on the internet, you do not need a computer in order to run a website.

Like I said, we don't as a rule offer webhosting anymore, but have a very good webhost provider we often recommend thats in the United States. They charge $5USD a month for a hosting, with enough space for for a very large e-commerce website.

Regards Lynny

WEBSITE DESIGN

If you have software on your computer is there any reason why you can't design your own website? The answer is absolutely not!

So why pay someone else to design your site? Using a professional offers the following benefits:

  • Website online quickly
  • Professional design with easy to navigate site
  • Error free
  • SEO can be included from the start which is cheaper than having to re-write pages later
  • You can then concentrate on swapping links and building your web presence


Are all Website Designers much the same?


No. There are more website developers online than any other profession I have ever searched for. Designers can range from 13 year old children to highly trained designers with years of experience.


  1. When choosing a designer ask to see samples and references. A designer should have the technical knowledge to make sure your site 'works' and the design flair to ensure your site looks good and attracts customers.


  2. A good designer will also incorporate SEO into your site. Be wary of those who don't pay enough attention to search engine placement, it is not unheard of for them to come back at a later date pointing out that you need more work done to improve traffic.


  3. Many designers offer CMS websites which means you can do the upkeep yourself if you chose to. I haven't found any other CMS websites that offer both design and SEO apart from our own PRISM CMS.

What is a Website Hit? SEO Hint

A common misunderstanding is that the number of hits relates to the number of visitors. A hit is the number of times each part of a website is asked to be opened by a web browser.

Example:

If you open the home page of http://www.canzdesign.com/ (which has approx. 50 graphics plus the page itself and the CSS formatting the page) it would count as 60 hits, so one visitor looking at two or three pages could easily count for 200 hits.

Is the Number of Visitors to a Site Important?

The number of visitors to a site is important if they are visitors interested in purchasing from you. A
Careful SEO can target visitors likely to purchase as opposed to browsers or visitors looking at copying graphics etc from your site for free.

How much does a website cost?

Giving a quote for a website straight off the cuff is impossible, well not by responsible web designer anyway even quote for a specific number of pages just isn't possible, although often quoted on web designers site.

If you like a website to a having, a house built. It makes it easier to understand, first, do you want the house built to a standard plan or do you want to customize it to your specific needs(customization especially of a CMS website will change the price). Then how many bedrooms (WebPages) you want If you want things like curtains and wallpaper included in the price (extra graphics to make the pages look more interesting).

How about the outside, do you want concrete paths and driveway, and the lawns laid (extra features in the site like members' areas, or complex order forms, flash presentations etc) then these features all change the price considerably.

So just asking how much a website costs, will never get you a satisfactory answer, you must always be specific as to what you want, and if you really don't know what you want, then be willing to answer questions that will clarify your requirements to a web designer.

Just be aware any website you go to that has a list of prices for various number of pages websites, is either not an experienced website designer, or be prepared to have that price rise as your specific requirements and customizations become obvious. A professional website designer will always say these prices are a guide only.

Pay Per Click how does it work?

The best-known pay per click advertising on the internet is Googles AdSense. Note the advertisement down the side of the page, these are Pay per click advertisements…. You might also be interested in the website that ranks #1 in the free natural search engine results. Oh gosh, that's my one of my own site in the natural results, what a surprise J





But the point is that the websites inside the pink square are pay per click advertisers, they must pay for each time someone clicks on their add, and the higher they ads appears in the list, the more it costs the for the click. So while the first advertiser might pay $2.50 for a click. The second advertiser might pay $1.35, and the last one may only be paying 5 cents for a click.


Each advertiser selects a maximum amount they will send month, and the ad will get shown at a rate that means that the ad is shown as many times as it can be, to use up the maximum amount of money the advertiser wishes to pay evenly over the month.

There are tons of books and Google tutorials online that explain exactly how to use these Pay Per click. I just wanted to give you a quick overview.


Personally, I think they are a waste of money, I would rather use the money spent on people clicking with no intention of buying, to make the website rank naturally, but if a PPC campaigns are run correctly. it can give you some very good results.

What does a designer do?

A good graphic designer's job is far more complex than anyone would guess, for designing say a business card.

You have to first make sure all the relevant information is on the cards, the businesses logo, person's name, phone numbers etc. Choose a colour that is either part of the businesses branding, or that looks good, or stands out. A simple white card will just look like all the other white business cards you want your card to stand out from the rest, be eye catching.

Then comes the time consuming part, choosing a font that looks good, can be easily read, and suits the card, does that font been a drop shadow to be seen clearly. You may not be aware that each font not only has a different look to it, but different spacing between each letter and spacing between words can also be quite different.

You have to make it all fit onto a relatively small area. Not only fit, but to look good to anyone looking at it, as your business card is a very important part of your business advertising. So moving the various parts of the graphic of the card around in itself, so they look good and ete-catching can take an hour or so at least.

What is drop-shipping.

What is drop-shipping.

Drop-shipping is very simply stocking your website with products that you don't actually have, but have deals with the manufacturer to send the product out to your clients with none of their own branding on it.

There are many different websites around the internet selling every conceivable product using this technique. You simply go to their website, select the photos of the products you would like to stock, put your own pricing on it, and offer them for sale. As the product sells, and you receive payment, from your website you simply go to the website that stocks the product, buy it, putting in your customers delivery details, and the drop-shipping site sends the product to your client.

The benefits of drop-shipping are obvious, you don't have to spend a cent on stock, until it's actually paid for. So you don't have stock laying around waiting to make your money back on it.

Many people also use this drop-shipping idea to sell products on EBay, again the benefits of this are obvious.

SEO's that advertise their services on Google

Advertising on Google, when you are an SEO

When Google puts ads on a webpage rather than above and beside the search results on its own webpages, the ad always relates to the subject of the page.

This is something that amuses me a lot; I put Google Adwords on the bottom of my article pages and since write about SEO more often than not all the Google ads on my pages are from businesses offering to either do SEO or sell you a book or program about SEO.

Now the books and programs are ok; but don’t you think it’s funny that an SEO company has to pay for ads saying things like “We’ll get your website to #1 in Google”. Consider that they can’t even accomplish first page SERP (Search Engine Results Page) placement for their own SEO company; but must pay to have their pages listed on top.

How much confidence can you have in that company?

The AdSense ads that really crack me up are the ones that advertise they will run your AdSense campaign for you!

The joke is their own site actually ranks highly naturally, often at #1 or#2 so they are probably paying for clicks they would have gotten anyway, because their site is naturally ranking well for that search phrase. What does that say about their ability to do the job they are advertising that they do so well?

· Step one: Choose possible keywords/keyphrases that would be relevant for the business they are doing the campaign for; say 300, 1000 or whatever possibilities.
· Step two: Make sure that the website is not already ranking naturally high for those phrases, and if they are, delete those keywords from the list.

Well that is how I run those campaigns. Wouldn’t that be what anyone would do? On the other hand; perhaps my main concern is saving my clients money and doing a thorough job

Best SEO Best Results how good is best

A bit of shameless self promotion here, I just did a check for some relevant keywords for one of my clients in several search engines, in this little peogram I have, and have a look at the results.

These are words that people found this persons website by using, so not word's that I decided would be good words to check, that's why there's some odd ones there.......

But not to shabby huh..... how many #1 placements, the Australian ones have heaps more #1 placings, but I didn't want to get too carried away

w.Gemhunters.com.au
Please click for a larger image

Google Australia results for gemhuntersYahoo-Australia results for gemhuntersMSN-Australia results for gemhuntersAltaVista-Australia results for gemhuntersGoogle-USA results for gemhuntersMSN-USA results for gemhuntersAltaVista-USA results for gemhuntersAltaVistal-UK results for gemhuntersMSN-UK results for gemhunters

The ultimate goal of good SEO, or at least my goal is to get a website ranking highly in as many free search engines results as possible, Google is always important. But so is msn, yahoo, AltaVista and a myriad of other free search engines around the world. Not only for a few keywords or key phrases but for as many keywords as possible the more the better. The most important thing is that the keywords the website ranks highly for are keywords that actually search for.

This particular website http://www.gemhunters.com.au/ sells gemstones; the owners live at their mine which is out in the middle of nowhere in Southern Queensland. So selling gemstones on the internet is really the only way they can sell their products on a regular basis, and the only way they can sell to people worldwide.

And they do sell worldwide, the owner has told me of sales she has made not just to English speaking country’s but also to many many other parts of the world, she wonders how they work out what to do, but I guess the purchasing process on her site is so standard, you choose a gemstone click on the thumbnail for a larger view and there are the PayPal buttons right there to buy.

Believe it or not it took about 3 days todo all those searches, and get this blog post together....... That program that does those searches is great when it works properly, but a right pain when it doesn't.

What is a reasonable price for SEO for a 12 month contract

What should SEO cost, when you are signing up for a 12 month contract?

I saw a question like this in the statistics for this blog, so though I would anser the question, what should SEO cost for a 12 month contract.

Although it's obviously a one of those it all depends questions, but the odd thing is, sites with very few WebPages are actually harder to do seo on, than very large websites.

A lot of the problem with websites not being found in search engines, is simply because they don't have the sort of information on them that people are actually searching for so the more pages, the more information the better as long as it's the right kind of information that is.

That doesn't answer the question though does it. What should you expect to pay for a 12 month SEO contract?

Well I can say that none of my clients have ever paid more than $10,000 for SEO over a 12 month contract. One client pays $1,200 a year, she's an established client, and we have a special deal. Oh hang on, there was one client that insisted he pay more, becuase the results of my work was were so good, he wanted me to do more work on a couple of other websites he had, but that was less than $10.000 for each site.

I have clients with 6 and 8 page websites, another client with just over 400 pages, 2 sites with over 2400 webpages these last 2 websites are obviously e-commerce websites, that have both gone from not having any sales at all through their websites, to now being quite happy with present sales, and sales increasing every month.

My clients pay an initial down payment, since the work that is first down to get the website ready for search engines is so labor intensive, then a steady monthly payment for me to tweak the sites, and the other things I do.

I’m heading for the States in a couple of months, so my present clients will keep paying me in NZ dollars while any new ones I get ones there will be paying me in USD. So if you are thinking of getting me to do your SEO get in contact quick, you will be paying a lot less lol….

I'm looking at adding another seo service for clients that have very small websites, and that will of course besomething clients can choose to have or not have, but that will increase the monthly payments, but still at this stage $13,000 at the very most isn't anywhere near the $50,000 many seo company's are asking.

There is one exception that was just pointed out to me, a large extablished company like Dell would think anything of paying that sort of price or even $100,000, and probably wouldn't even consider a quote for $13,000 as a joke, but for most businesses that are either start-up or small to medium sized company's or even large ones, shouldn't have to think about that sort of price.

SEO should be thought of as part of your advertising budget, if you spend $40,000 on advertising for your shop, then a budget of say $10,000 for your online shop, that could easy run by one part-time staff member, and is open all hours, would be a bargain in anyones eyes.

Interesting SEO trend Links from sites that don't exist

Just checking my website statistics, and noticed I'm supposed getting people visiting my website, from websites that don't exsist, the disturbing thing is the sites are all poker sites, that i would never have had a link with.

You always get a few odd places people link to yur site from, but this is like 40 or 50 different sites. Hope google doesn't think I'm getting links from gambling sites, they are usually comsidered bad neighood sites.

Other reasons articles are important... new content

I wrote below about adding content, as a way to help visitors find your website, another reason to ad articles to your website, is so the search engines see that things are happening on your website, and it isn't stagnant.

A stagnant website will slip down in the search engine rankings simple because they aren't even sure if the the site is relevant anymore.

There are litterly million of websites on the internet that have been there for 2 years plus, that are no longer relevant, their information is out of date, there are broken links everyhere, and consequently the search engines just let them slip into oblivion as they should.

So if you have a website, where you are quite happy with what it says, everything is up-to-date then one of the ways to get it ranking higher in search engines is add articles to the site. If you added say one article per month, which should cost you about $25 a month for the articles, plus the cost of having your webdesigner add them, which again should be minimal around $25 a month at most, your website will start ranking better in search engines.

Plus as I mentioned in the article below the added content will bring different clients to your website, so it's a win-win suitation.

Article for your website helps SEO Prices for Article Writers.

One of the best ways to get more people to your website, is to have more webpages from them to read and subjects that relate to your business. Also having links to your site from many places around the net from articles about your business.

Think about it if you have a 6 pages website just advertising your services then really speaking that's not a lot of words for google to read and index.

One way to do this is write artles, lot's of then, the more the better, and add then to your website, the pages themselves only need to linked to from your sitemap so google can find and read and index them and then have a link to your homepage on you articles. You can also submit these articles to article directory's, which will link back to your website giving you more links again.

The tricky part comes in with first finding the time to write the articles, and then writing them in such a way that search engines will rank them high enough for anyone to find them in searches. While it's true that even the worst written articles will get found, it only makes sence that the more times an article get's found, the more people you will have to your website.

So why not get someone else to do them for you, there are many people online called ghost or article writers that will write articles and many others that provide the service of rewritting these articles. theres a but here too.... many of the people that do this don't write English as there first lauguage and therefore the article come out just not reading smoothly.

I have found an article writter that write first class articles, on any subject you can think of, if she isn't familar with a subject she'll find a website that is, read what they have written, and then rewrite it so you would never guess that it had been written from the same article.

I've also found an English company that rewrites those articles again, so you can say 6 articles, on the same subject all read differently, you keep on article for your website, and have the other 5 submitted to article directory's.

Concidently I have found a place that will submit articles to the 200 top article directory's.

So you would end up with a great article on your website, and around 200 one-way links to your website, all you had to do if read the articles to make sure they information is correct to your business.

There are of course other options, the article writer to write 5 totally different articles, and but them all on your website, since article writers and rewriters charge about the same price.

So write to me, and I'll give you a price for the service, it's a lot less than you would think, since I have spent all the hours looking for these services, trying out different places and researching the service You can take advantage of all my knowledge.

We're going to be on TV.

We've been asked by a business TV show for our opinions on
The direction of the web for business,
where the web is heading, and
how the web is changing,
the way business was done online in the past, now and in the future, and
what we feel the future holds for business and e-commerce website in particular online.

What sort of issues do website owners face,
since many owners used to think that all that was needed was a website,
and the sales would happen, and now many website owners are becoming disillusioned with websites,
when in fact website can and do work, it just that have been looked at up until now as an online brochure,
when in fact a website is really like another branch of a business that's open 24/7 and available to people from all over the world.
And lastly why SEO is becoming so important, and should be looked at as another advertising medium.

It's pretty exciting, the show is seen in United Kingdom and Continental Europe, New Zealand and Australia and of course the USA.

I'll let you know as time gets closer, when the series a set of approx six shows will be aired.

Text Links- Types of links, and how they work for SEO purposes

Text links if used correctly are the best type of link to use for SEO ie, getting highly search engine rankings, and higher placement to your website in search engines for specific phrases.

The worse type of text link, is just your URL as a link, eg www.seobycanz.com although links like this will help your pagerank, if they are placed on the correct type of a page, that’s about all they do.

The very best links are keyword rich text links an example would be English Speaking SEO NZ or website Marketing Help although those words at the moment aren't on the website the link is to, if I placed those particular links around the internet enough times, the website would start ranking well in search engines for those phrases.

In the above examples the English speaking one, this blog is actually #1 because I have written about me being an English speaking SEO before, but for the site I have sent that text link to, I can't say now many times I would have to use that text link before the site to rank highly, but sooner or later, again depending on the pages I put the link on, it would rank #1-5 in Google.

Of course if your website is wanting to rank highly for words that the site is already optimised for, then using those words is even better, and works with fewer text links to it.

The most notable example of this is the search for "click here" if you search for click here in Google, and probably any search engine the first result will be to the adobe pdf reader download page. This is of course because thousands of website owners will instruct you to click here to download the reader. Yet nowhere on that download page are the words “click here” ever used yet it ranks #1 and always has. It get's its top ranking just from all those links to it using click here as the text for the link.

Using text links within content text is the very best use, and one that is becoming more and more popular, they are called contextual links. EG if I write an article about SEO, and make choose words within the text to make into a text link then not only do search engines see the link, but they also see that it’s linked to from a context of things about SEO, so it’s like a giving the keyword double juice. This form of linking is becoming so popular, that many businesses are now paying bloggers especially to add these types of links to their blogs. The going rate I believe is $30 per link for a PR4 webpage, the link stays there for the life of the website or blog... far better than paying on a monthly basis isn’t it.

I keep referring to the right type of webpage to have these links from, and the right type of page, is a page that has a good page rank, the better the page rank, the better the link value. The very best type of page to have a text link from, is a page that is about the subject of the keyword. But failing that just having a high Page Rank will help, just be not quite so good.

This blog presently has a pagerank of 3, which is amazing, since it’s only a new blog with only something like 70 posts at the moment. So at the moment, I would be happy to accept payment for contextual links, contact me if you are interested I’d accept $15 per link.

Banner ads - Types of links, and how they work for SEO

There are several types of links, one in particular that that you maynot be aware of, that can work for you, helping your site pank well in SERPs.


Banner Ad's Links
Banner ads or links are the best known links, they are pictures that can be in many shapes and sizes, and their main objective, is to attract visitors to one site, to click on them, the resulting link usally opens in a new window and magics you away to another website.

Heres 2 typical Banner ads for our websites. These two banners particular shape is called a small skyscaper banner the pixel measurements are 120 x 240


Professinal design and developmentSEO by Canz




Standard Full Banner size: 468 x 60


Custom banners and web graphics




Standard Button size: 160 x 90

Hobits Hints


The prime reason for using banners or buttons is to entice clients to your website; there are several different sizes the advertising banners can come in, there’s a particularly good webpage that explains many of the standard sizes banners is also has popup templates for each size so you can compare sizes and even take copies of the templates to see what size best suits your and your advertisers needs. The site is well worth a visit.

CanzDesign also offers a web graphic and banner building service requested either by itself or with the website design and development services we offer.

Link exchanges or reciprobal links
But that’s not what the post is about, the point of this post is to inform you that these banners can be used in a few ways, either as link exchanges, where you and other similar themed website decide to exchange links, thinking that your visitors might find each other sites of interest. Unfortunately these types of links are usually stuck on an obscure page somewhere and you actually gain very few links from it. Since the webpage they appear on is usually at least 2 pages away from the main page, the chances of actually getting any useful page-rank passed on either.

Paid Links
These banners can and are often are used as paid links; this is where another site takes a fee, (and usually a pretty high fee too) to display your banner or button on some page or pages on their website. This is usually a month fee; I have heard of fee's as low as $350 and the highest one I have actually seen was for $7800 plus payment for each click per month. With this method of paying for advertising although the advert can appear on better pages and often in better positions, the downside is that as soon as the payments from you stop, your banner disappears (Rather like advertising in a newspaper).

So these banner ad;s have a place in advertsing, and if places on the right page, can sometimes bring in vsitors, but really don't help with SEO as such.

Quotes for SEO work, and spam filters.

I've had an influx of people requesting quotes for SEO and SEM services lately, yet I'm finding that my emails aren't being replied too.

Now if my quote is too much, then let’s face it, it's the businesses lose, if you had asked for a quote, don't you think, the least you could do would be to write back, and say, no it's too much for us at this time, or no I'm not interested.

But for business that write and don't even give me a url to look at, so I write and ask for one, I'm still not receiving replies, the only thing I can think of is either everyone in the world is very rude, and has no netiquette, or spam filters are gobbling up my emails.

I was feeling in a slightly combative mood this morning, so contacted a couple of people that I did have phone contact details for, and sure enough they hadn't received my emails, and upon checking their spam folders found my quote.

Both places wrote back within an hour or so and said they would get back to me after discussing it with their peers.

If I hear from them again is beside the point, the point is they did acknowledge receiving them, and that’s all I require.

So from now on, I'll just write a short email confirming the email address , and saying I will respond properly once I have a response from them.

I mean I understand that there are many other webdesigners out there that write to me just to suss out our prices so they can compare them to their own, and thats cool, people will always do that, but it's the serious quote request that I'm interested in.

That’s my rave for today.

that you had 43 x #2 rankings, 52 x #3 Ranked words, and 48 x #5 Ranked Words.

I took these words from the list of words on her statistics of keywords that actually were used to find her website last month. Over 750 different word combinations in all, but as I said any ranking lower the 5th place doesn't count with me. but the #1 rankings far outweighted all the other ranking upto 10th place.

Wouldn't that be worth it to see these sort of results, or more important for yout clients and completitors to see the list.

I've had emails from 3 giftbox businesses within the last week, asking about my services and how much it would cost, to get their sites doing as well as this one..... one business owner is frantic for my services, she sells something slightly different to my present client, so wouldn't compete for the same words, but I'll talk to my present client first, and see that I wouldn't be stepping on her toes if I were to take the job.

I must say, it is fun to be sort ofter. The most fun places to contact me are SEO firms, that want me to do their SEO, not seo for their clients, which I wouldn't mind if the pay was right, but but for the SEO company's own websites......cause they can't get any results for terms to do with SEO..... ok, I admit SEO, webdesign and website hosting are hard sites to optimise, but still it can be done.

Advanced SEO for Businesses

Advanced SEO, Why should a company get advanced SEO done 2

Isn't just some SEO enough, what is gained though getting advanced SEO work done on a website?

Think about searches you have done, and how even using the same words, but changing the order these words are in, can radically change the search results. Right?
With Advanced SEO, thats done correctly, it is possible to rank at #1 or at least often in the the top five for these different word combinations. So no matter how a person doing a search words the search they will see your websites name.
And it's common knowledge that seeing a business name(website name) often gives people confidence in the business as being successful.
If you offered a product that would help people understand the advertsing costs for small businesses, or in fact offered a service that took care of advertising campaigns for small business, what would it ne worth it to you, to have your website name appear with the first 5 results of these three plus several more relevant searches your potient clients might be looking for?
