Looking for a company or software to build links etc. I have a site and I am trying to improve web position. Link building, keywords, etc.
Thanks.
I built a page for a friend about a year and a half ago. That was easy. The SEO took lots of time and I used a service that did a mass upload to various search engines and indexes. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name of the company, but a way to know positively which company can do it, is to pick one from the first page of a Google search on SEO. They can do it for you if they can do it for themselves. Good luck!
I’ve used “Submit Wolf” in the past with pretty amazing results. It’s been about eight years since I last needed it, so I can’t personally vouch for the newest versions, but I assume it is still as good, if not better. It costs a couple hundred dollars now and days-—unlike back in the day when you could pick it up for about $20 bucks...
While I was getting the link for you, I noticed that they also have an SEO toolkit, too.
Probably cheaper than paying thousands of dollars to a consultant who probably uses the same thing!
Cheers
Thanks. If someone agrees to link with you do you put their link inside the code on your site? Thanks to others for helping too.
I’ve been operating two successful websites since 1998, and is self-taught in SEO. I have luanched new websites for others and have maintained top ten organic listings for my own sites and new sites I’ve designed. My websites are now in the top ten organics for 200+ keywords and in the top five for 50 using my own SEO.
I’ll offer this advice:
These are currently the biggest factors in promoting SEO:
1) This one is HUGE! Register your domain for ten years, not year-to-year. Search engines first look at WHOIS data for the date you’re registered through before they look at anything else. They figure a site that’s paid up for a few years will be around for a while.
2) Content, content content! Content must be added or change as frequently as possible for a good ranking. New articles, blogs, etc. The longer content remains static, the lower the ranking drops.
3) Forget keyword saturation. It has been spammed so hard that SE’s have dropped the importance of keywords way down on the list. Use no more than ten keywords in the Meta tag (I use six to eight). Make sure each of the ten keywords appear at least twice in the content of the page and relate to the page. USE different keywords for each page! This is a pet peeve of mine from those who say they can’t get ranking. Meta tags need some time spent. They should never be generic.
4)Title Tag: Keep it very short and make sure each page has a different title. It really helps if you have at least one keyword in the titel.
5) Description Tag is key! The description tag will be what appears after your title in listings. It should contain two keywords if possible and be no more than two short sentences.
6) Link popularity is another SEO technique that’s been overused and abused so while it is still important, even critical, it should not be done half-way or YOUR SITE WILL GET PENALIZED! Link farms DO NOT work. Links from websites with unrelated content DO NOT work. Mirror sites NO LONGER work. Approach websites with similar contenet for link exchange. It is better to have 20 links from related websites than 1000 from unrelated. Keep at it. It takes years to develop link popularity.
SEO companies amd individuals are like chiropracters. No SEO company can help you long term unless you hire them to do what you yourself should be doing every month or so, which IS EXPENSIVE.
Many SEO companies are still using techniques designed to manipulate Google, Yahoo and Bing which no longer apply as the SE giants have made major changes due to rampant spamming by SEO companies. By the way, many search engines simply use Google results. Examples of what no longer works are: keyword saturation, mirror sites and link popularity.
Even if you use an SEO companies, you still wind upo doing half the work. The key is content and few SEO operators know your content better than you do so they’ll keep bugging you to update pages every month while you pay them 1000’s of dollars.
No SEO company will ever provide a guarantee in writing for more than one keyword, if that, then they’ll only guarantee it for a while. They suck you in and then try to keep you on the line.
Hope that helped.
Yeesh! Egads. Ignore typos please.
For the most part I agree with #6.
Well, It might have, if it was addressed to the person requesting the help.
:) LOL!
Great stuff.
Oops. Still getting used to the forum.
Just noticed that if one HTML tag is used anywhere in a post, you have to HTML tag the whole post.
:)
No problem. I just enjoy yanking chains occasionally. :)
Submit your site for free to Google, Yahoo and Bing. They make you search for the free links. Just google them.
Once you’ve done those three, you’ll get picked up by all.
Do some research into an XTML feed for Google and Yahoo (the only se’s that use them). An XTML feed is a file you place in your root directory which tells the search engine what pages to list. Once one is created and submitted to Google and Yahoo, your site will be crawled daily and the XTML file will be checked. If new pages are found, they’re listed automatically.
XTML feeds usually result in a major climb in ranking after about six months.
I use SoftPlus GSite Crawler which is free. It crawls your site after you tell it what directories it should not search, creates the XTML files which you then drop in the root directory.
Then you submit them to the Google and Yahoo XTML feeds. In one day, your site is listed.
Thank you. The site has been around since . I think it has been 1997. I have another one I have not been doing anything with from 1995.
You have a major advantage then, as length of time a site’s been up is the #1 criteria, then how long it’s registered.
All you need is the content, meta tags, a resubmission and for good measure, an XTML feed.
Willing to bet you’re within the top ten within six months for at least ten key words or phrases.
Thanks for the info Doctor B. :-)
I did just as you mentioned and my site now appears as #5 on Google. I have done very little else to SEO my site.
Modern toilets now have a flush handle on the tank...
>;^)
You did it in one day and you moved up to #5 on page one? Huh?
