| | I have had bad experience with big SEO companies in so far as if your not spending as much as their bigger clients, then invariably your not going to be a priority. I was given the run around for about 6 months, only to be presented with a bill which … |
| | I see where your coming from, your almost saying that SEO is cheating right? Well SEO is used as part of any sites marketing strategy - and cost effective marleting such as 'guerilla marketing' can also be seen as encouraging people into seeing their brand without them actually looking for … |

| | Hi guys, While trying a DIY SEO, I have been reading various sources on the internet who have differing views on link programs and especially reciprocal links. The issue is that one camp hold firmly that reciprocal link programs are a very good idea for your link building strategy. However, … |
| | You shouldnt necessarily price SEO on position but on traffic, which isnt always the same thing. A good SEO company will be able to find a niche for some of the keywords that your customers will be using and therefore gear your SEO towards that. This may mean your on … |
| | I think it's true to say that especially in Google, your links will only have impact and therefore PR if the links have relevancy. Also many directories are PR 0 - so submitting to too many of them wouldn't be a good idea. I have also read that linking alogrithms … |
| | Why dont you see what the best 'off the shelf' shopping products are, check what security options they offer etc. See what you think they lack and try to beat what they do? << Moderator Removed >> [url="http://www.julianhall.co.uk"][/url] |
| | Consider setting up an updated weblog that will be of value to your visitors. This will make your site more sticky, ie: people will come back, and it will mean that as long as it's updated regularly that the search engines 'bots' will visit more frequently |
| | Hey guys and gals, A friend of mine wants to build a site similar to [url]www.face-pic.com[/url] or faceparty.co.uk. He mentioned that he would need an off the shelf product to build around, rather than having it built from scratch. Anyone know of such software, or indeed can build a site … |
 | I would also avoid linking to such sites because most do use tricky SEO techniques and in case they are blacklisted it's not worth losing the hard work you have put in for your own positioning |
| | Re: Google Suggest Yes I have heard about it. Think about it though. Imagine you type in MP3 player, and it starts suggesting websites. Are those websites going to come from an 'organic/natural' type search feed or a 'paid' one? I can imagine that google will probably work this in somehow, and if … |
| | Hi guys, I read an article recently critisizing many shopping carts for not being SEO friendly. Does anyone know if Zen cart is SEO Friendly or have any experience with it in that way? Thanks?  |

| | Re: Google and PHP A tip to get relevant backlinks : go to google and type in the following "add url + toys" - keep the speech marks, replace toys with whatever your keyword(s) is , I just used that as an example. That will return websites that will allow you to 'add your … |
| | Hi guys, My site is being visited almost daily by yahoo,google and msn robots. Given that, is it still worth resubmitting other pages of my site? Cheers! |
 | Worth thinking about... Bear in mind that a lot of forums, blogs, networking websites get a heavier weighting from google simply because they get updated so frequently that they get indexed by google more regularly than normal websites. So I think it would be a good idea to remove the … |

| | Without knowing which companies your refering to, I would say that anything which seems 'too good to be true' is probably a scam, or at the least they'd be giving you traffice which isnt relevant to your service. Remember just because you get traffic, doesnt mean you'll get sales. I …  |

| | [u]If[/u] your site is kicked out of the index for 'whatever' it will usually come back after 60 days if the thing that triggered the penalty has been removed. You also can send them a reinclusion request email to [u]help@google.com [/u]after you have cleaned up your site. If you are … |
| | I apologise in advance for my ignorance :!: - but if robots from Google for example are visiting your site then does that mean it has been 'indexed'? I ask because I read that if you want to be 'indexed' into Google within a short space of time then it … |

| | Can I get some advice on Doorway pages. I have heard that they maybe a good idea, however I hnave a feeling that the search engines may have clamped down on them. Any ideas? Thanks |
| | I have been checking the backlinks of one of my competitors and I can see that some of the directories they're linked to required reciprocal links to be able to submit to them which is fine. HOWEVER - the site in question doesn't even have a links page much less … |

With Overture, GoogleAdWords and Espotting at least you know your dealing with reputable companies which very important on the net |

| | Indexing as your probably aware happens per page, so if the other pages on the site are updated more, have a better keyword density for chosen keywords, then all this needs to be taken into account Mr. [url="http://www.saveandsecure.com"]Backup[/url] [url="http://www.julianhall.co.uk"]Julian Hall[/url] |

| | Are you sure that it isnt perhaps your competition that is getting in the way rather than what your? That is providing you haven't changed anything on your backend. They may have increased their traffic on some kind of promotional drive and therefore reducing yours? [font=Verdana]<< Moderator Removed: Please setup … |
| | I agree. I think for a number of years now, 'search wise' surfers use Google far more. Less savvy searchers would use Yahoo or believe Ask Jeeves would actually answer their 'questions'! |
