Fair search engine optimisation implementation in Cornwall.

IT'S A MINEFIELD!!!!

Who do you trust? Where do you go? What direction does one turn?

Search Engine Optimisation of Websites . . . . . a difficult practise, as real SEO has no tangible results straight away. If there are results straight away, you can be pretty sure the SEO programmer is using Black Hat techniques that will damage your website AND domain name in the long run.



HERE ARE A FEW SALES LINES THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU SLAM THE PHONE DOWN OR WALK AWAY FROM THE MEETING YOU ARE IN WITH YOUR PROSPECTIVE SEO WEBMASTER!

"We guarantee #1 on page #1"
ram it, no one can guarantee the very top of pages 1. It never happens really anyway as Google generally reserves the top of its SERPS for advertising.

"Big discounts for paying in advance"
yeah right, give everything for a campaign that lasts a year up front. Don't you dare do it! An SEO expert, confident in their abilities will work for a monthly retainer, as he/she knows the results expected are on their way.

"Free website submission to 500 other search engines included"
oh please, that old chestnut!! Pretty much ALL search engines on the planet, other than BING and Yahoo, use Google Technology for their searches, if you are indexed in Google, you WILL be indexed by everyother search engine on the planet, that utilises Goog. Tech.

"10,000 FB likes - 10,000 one way backlinks included"
Google's clever eh! If a new website lands and is to be be crawled by the intrepid Google Bot, and over night, or over a period of a number of weeks, that amount of sudden interest and likes, and link . . . . . BLACK HAT TECHNIQUES!! Your website, and more importantly, YOUR DOMAIN NAME will be BLACK LISTED. Time for a new domain name and a fresh, properly built website .


Here's a very interesting article, from a reputable search engine watch dog regarding costs and what to look out for:

SEO a minefield for the business owner that does not have the time to implement good techniques themselves.
