SEO & Website Design San Diego

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.

Anyway here's the link

SEO hints and Tips

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SEO hints and Tips

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
Giving credit where credit is due

There’s another type of SEO, which is called blackhat SEO, if the owner knows it's going on, and sleazy SEO if the website owner doesn't know about it.

Blackhat SEO is SEO that works, unless Google finds out you are doing it, but is considered cheating. This site I talk about has been doing it for at least 5 years that I know about and has never changed the page.

The "blackhat SEO" technique I'm talking about is when someone adds keywords or key phrases that are the same color as the background to a page, take a look at the front page of this site
natures pic. com take out the spaces, I don't want to give them a link :(

When the page opens, do a control A on your keyboard which means "select all" and see all those keywords down each side of the page? That when you unselected aren't visible , this is a blackhat SEO technique that is often used to help a site rank better for a particular or several keywords or phrases.

I first come across this website when I was doing SEO on our photo bank, as I couldn't understand why it was doing so well for a particular phrase that I was trying to do well in too.
I have heard that if Google becomes aware of a site doing this it will be blacklisted, I have never known of a case where this has happened, but it has been reported several times on forums, of course once the site is gone, it's too late to see it lol.

There are better ways that are called "whitehat SEO" of getting a site ranking well that aren't cheating, but I thought I would show you techniques that are used by some SEO's, that could possibly get a site taken out of search engines, and where the owner of the website didn't even know it was happening.

So if you have had SEO done on your site, it pays to do this little check hopefully before you pay your SEO, and be warned if your SEO has done this, as - in all probability - they have used other blackhat techniques that may get your site banned.

This story is an all-too-common one.

Making the google page rank the highest it can be is the hardest job for an SEO to do. It takes many many hours of work. And the higher the page rank is, the higher the website will rank for popular keywords.

I have seen many many SEO's that have made deals with the owners of large websites with High Page ranks, that allow the SEO can add links to their clients website, passing the high Pagerank along the SEO's client. The owners of the big sites can get paid upwards of $800 a month for these links which is pretty good money, when you think that they could have 10 or 20 different links from the same SEO.

Anyway, these same SEO's charge many thousands of dollars to their clients to first raise their Page Rank, when all they did was add the link to say 20 pages of the high ranking website, then $2000-4000 each month to upkeep the SEO for the site.

The problem comes when the website owner doesn't want to keep paying the $2000-4000 then suddenly the links are gone from the high ranking website, the page rank of the website drops, and suddenly they can't find their website in search engines.

What choice does the website owner have but to go back to the SEO, who has by then raised their prices, and ask them to take them back on as clients. I have talked to people of SEO forums that have spent 30-40 thousand dollars in the past 12 months, just getting the SEO to take them back on as clients.

When I do SEO for a client, I make sure that the work I do will last for years after I stop doing the SEO. The only time they might lose a position is when a website selling the exact same thing get's there website SEO'ed. I have two sites that sell gemstones that I do SEO for and I make sure they will both get high ranking for different keyphrases, so they don't conpete with each other.

It would be very easy to do SEO for 20 or so sites that have the exact same product, and not have them competing in search engines.
