A few more positive emails

SEO-Dan — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 20:40:53 +0000

Since my last “Think Tank” post, I have received a few more positive emails I wanted to share - all from different clients:

11-14-11, You are the man!

11-18-11, That’s exactly what I needed! Thank you!! That was fast!

12-07-11, thanks for all the hard work, I am really happy with this

12-09-11, Wow, very informative! I agree that ”****” seems our best place to focus.

12-12-11, Thanks Dan, keep pushing and we all will have a great 2012.

SEO “Think Tank”

SEO-Dan — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 17:53:22 +0000

About 15 years ago, I had a boss that really encouraged me in the area of being a “think tank” for him and could tell I enjoyed that immensly. I even remember the statement, “you’ll make a great think tank for a company someday”.

Welcome to the world of SEO. I now get to do this for several different companies and it is F-U-N. Probably the funnest part of my job. Especially when I get emails like I did this morning.

10:13 a.m. - Yes indeed! I was just thinking about how grateful I am for the incredible turn around you have produced! You must know someone at Google.

10:22 a.m. – Great idea!

10:28 a.m. – That is a great idea! We will be taking professional photos next week so we will be sure to include pictures for each (product) and create pages to represent them.

————————-

This wasn’t just one great idea sent to several clients – although I’ve been able to do that from time to time. This was several things I’ve been dealing with for the past month or so – and they all just happened to respond minutes apart from each other.

Kinda fun!

Commission Share SEO

SEO-Dan — Wed, 18 May 2011 21:44:30 +0000

From time to time I am asked about whether or not we would be interested in participating on a commission share basis for ongoing seo.

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is that we obviously need to evaluate whether we think it will be a win-win situation in the short term and the long term. We usually ask for an initial amount up-front to help get the ball rolling more quickly. And once it is rolling along, we expect that you will be the one profiting the most in the end, after all, it is your business.

But money is money, and commission share seo is one alternative that we are more than happy to consider. Please feel free to think outside the box and make us an offer!

Robots.txt – Life of a SEO (Saturday Night)

SEO-Dan — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 05:14:12 +0000

Well, my wife wanted to catch-up on her “chick flick” watching movies and gave me the thumbs up to work a couple hours tonight. So what am I doing? Making sure that all of my clients “robots.txt” files are up to snuff. I choose to just stick to the basic command that says, come on by any and all search engines. I figure the scum crawlers aren’t going to obey any commands you give them anyway. So, here’s what I do:

User-agent: *

Disallow:

** Kinda funny thing just happened. My wife asked me to close my office doors. Guess I was typing too loud. LOL.

Seattle Search Engine Optimization

SEO-Dan — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 01:59:08 +0000

Are you interested in Seattle search engine optimization? You will notice we are in the top ten for this search, but we didn’t get there by simply repeating seattle search engine optimization 100′s of times on our website. Although yes, in this post, I am intentionally repeating search engine optimization seattle more times than I should.

Pretty annoying, isn’t it? How would you like this done to your business website?

Google goes even more local than before!

SEO-Dan — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 03:44:28 +0000

A couple months ago, Google incorporated “Google Places” into the natural organic search results where they will include reviews and testimonials from across the web. Certainly as good a time as ever to keep an eye on your reputation management.

And just this past week, Google has boosted “Local” results even more by incorporating actual rankings based on user “auto-detected” location. So if you search for ‘seo’ in Seattle, you will find Hay Meadows right up there!

Search for ‘golf’, ‘shoes’, ‘website design’, and you will find more localized rankings just below the fold (#4-#8 rankings).

As a SEO, it is now my job to make sure our clients have the best representation possible for this dramatic change in Google’s algorithm. This really does change the game and SEO strategy.

EXCELLENT time to have a competent SEO on your website development team!!!

As is typically the case, clients will often start looking for cost effective design solutions, so they can focus as much as possible on SEO.

I was recently asked by a client how I felt about WordPress and SEO. Just wanted to pop in here real quick and give it a public, thumbs up.
