SEO & Website Design San Diego

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? 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.

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.

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.

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.

Proof of how quickly a blog post can get into google

http://seointernetmarketingseo.blogspot.com/2009/05/seo-work-quickly-in-search-engine.html if a blog post can get into google search results in 75 minutes, for a search for Doug Cooper seo san diego

Even this post was in google within 38 minutes, google is working hard today, hopefully people will learn what a sleazy seo this doug cooper seems to be, so they at least make an informed decision about him before the hand over $2000 for seo that he will then ripoff if you don't keep paying him.

On 9-19-2009 this post is still above Doug Coopers own website in Google.

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 Real Estate 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 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.

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 organize 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.

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. SEO Services San Diego

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.

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.

That's 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.

I wrote a decent post on another of my blogs, and thought I would show you.

Scam SEO. SEO cowboys, Sleazy SEO, whatever you want to call someone that professes to be an SEO and yet is only out to collect your money and rip you off, are unfortunately, a dime a dozen.

Us darn good seo's are way harder to find, however if you are reading this post, you just found an seo that will earn the money you pay her, and get the results you are looking for in search engine results... I'm not into giving my skills away, but I often do take payments for my work, in fact I prefer payments, that way I know you will be happy with the results you receive and pass my name around.

SEO hints and Tips

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...

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….

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 www.canzdesign.com SEO Services San Diego

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.

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.....

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.

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.

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.
