| (How
to Rank High in Google and other Search Engines) |
| |
Why
is ranking high in the search engines important?
When
people look for information, products or services on the Internet
they use a search engine. Most searches provide a list that can run
into hundreds of pages. People start from the top of the list and
work their way down until they find what they are looking for. This
means those sites in the top ten have a lot more people visiting their
websites than those who come further down the list. Search engines
now account for over 85% of all new visitors to a web site (GvU Users
Survey). You may have read this fact before, but what you may not
have read is that only 7% of Internet users will surf beyond the first
20 listings of a search engine. In fact, in a recent study it has
been shown that over 87% of search engine users would rather switch
to a different search engine, than browse beyond the first 20 positions.
|
| You can have
the best website in the world, but it's useless if people can't find
it. Most Internet users find what they're looking for with search
engines link Google and Yahoo .But a simple search can return thousands
of matching sites, and surfers usually don't look beyond the first
twenty that are displayed. So if you want your site to be found, it's
crucial to be in that top twenty -- or better, in the top ten. |
| Why are we so
affordable? Simple: No one else seems to be targeting very small businesses
who can't afford to spend thousands of dollars to improve their search
rankings. We simply serve lots of small clients rather than a tiny
handful of big corporate clients. |
| |
| What
is "optimizing"? I thought you got a good ranking by paying the search
engine for good placement. |
| Nope. Many engines
allow you to buy ads that appear next to the search results, but reputable
engines don't sell a good search ranking itself. Buying an ad not
only costs you extra money, it doesn't get you listed in the actual
search results. Instead, we get you good rankings by optimizing the
content and HTML of your site so that the search engines can index
it favorably, and then we submit your site for indexing. This gets
you in the actual search results, and you won't have to spend any
extra money on ads. |
| |
| How
do you create a Website that ranks high? |
| I have spent
literally hundreds of hours researching this. The proof is in the
pudding, as you will see from my portfolio, there are links beside
my clients sites that will enable you to see where they rank on their
products or services. My techniques could be applied by anyone, but
in the main, they're not. |
| |
| My
site is hosted somewhere else. How much will you charge me for SEO? |
| If your
site isn't hosted with us, then why not? Our hosting rates are competitive,
our service is great, and when you host with us you'll have the option
of getting our bargain SEO service. What are you waiting for? See
more about our hosting
service. Our SEO service is available only to clients whose sites
we host.You'll need to be hosted with us in order to get our SEO
service. We're an excellent and affordable host, by the way.

| |
| How
long will my rankings last? |
With almost all of our plans, as long as your payments
are current, your results are guaranteed. If your rankings ever fall
below the level we agree on, we'll have three months to attempt to
restore them. If we fail, we'll refund your payments for the last
three months. (Note: We haven't failed yet.)
The exception to this is our budget service for $25/mo. With that
service we guarantee to get you ranked well initially, but don't guarantee
that your results will last. They may or may not last.
Here's our basic pricing again, along with the length of time that
your results are guaranteed. As always, there is no setup fee.

On the discount plan, your site is guaranteed to rank well within
the first three months of starting service, but is not guaranteed
to continue to rank well |
| |
| How
can you be so much cheaper than the competition? What's the catch?
Do your low prices mean your quality is lower too? |
There's no catch.
Our quality is just as good as those who charge ten times what we
do, and we have a written guarantee, a proven track record, and happy
customers to back it up. Other companies charge an arm and a leg simply
because they can get away with it. In contrast, we're happy to have
lots of small clients rather than a handful of big ones. Other SEO
companies also might be including lots of extra services in their
fee that you neither want nor need -- and that you certainly might
not want to pay for if you didn't have to. If you just want good Google
rankings, then that's what we do. If you want related services, we
can do that too, but we'll never force them on you.
Most of the SEO industry is targeting medium and large businesses
with huge budgets. SEO has thus been unaffordable for very small businesses
-- until now. We're here to make sure that small businesses can afford
to get their sites ranked well in Google, too. |
| |
| How
high will my site be ranked? |
| With our standard
plans we guarantee placement within the Top 15 matches in Google.
(Most other companies guarantee only Top 20 placement, if they offer
a guarantee at all.) We can also guarantee Top 10, Top 5, or Top 3
placement for a higher fee. Our standard guarantee is that at least
half of the terms we optimize will rank well. We can guarantee a higher
percentage will rank well for a higher fee. |
